to_o be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n and_o where_o he_o will_v have_v few_o and_o very_o simple_a ceremony_n also_o if_o god_n establish_v by_o his_o law_n that_o a_o woman_n may_v not_o

the_o gospel_n for_o all_o man_n know_v that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o all_o the_o church_n who_o have_v fall_v from_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n do_v not_o only_o want_v
