this_o question_n as_o i_o find_v they_o scatter_v along_o i_o shall_v glean_v they_o and_o so_o bundle_n they_o up_o for_o a_o conclusion_n at_o this_o time_n for_o this_o question_n seem_v to_o be_v

first_o for_o distinction_n sake_n between_o we_o and_o that_o which_o you_o call_v your_o presbyterial_a government_n the_o second_o be_v because_o this_o word_n independent_a be_v to_o signify_v that_o we_o hold_v all_o particular_a church_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v of_o equal_a authority_n and_o none_o to_o have_v or_o exercise_v jurisdiction_n over_o another_o but_o that_o each_o church_n
