of_o &_o controvert_v in_o the_o church_n whereof_o they_o be_v member_n yea_o be_v they_o not_o bind_v to_o it_o when_o the_o cause_n so_o stand_v that_o they_o must_v subscribe_v to_o the_o one_o and_o that_o the_o most_o suspect_a side_n even_o such_o as_o the_o most_o and_o best_a learn_v in_o the_o world_n approve_v not_o whether_o this_o supposition_n of_o his_o be_v right_a as_o he_o

only_o make_v hard_a but_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o young_a divine_n endure_v no_o such_o censure_n in_o case_n they_o so_o study_v these_o matter_n of_o discipline_n that_o they_o can_v learn_v to_o

of_o his_o study_n will_v be_v either_o the_o disgrace_n of_o his_o ministry_n among_o the_o forward_a sort_n if_o he_o resolve_v as_o not_o when_o have_v do_v or_o the_o overthrow_n of_o his_o
