as_o head_n be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o high_a rule_n the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v a_o monarchy_n to_o the_o rule_n of_o scripture_n to_o nature_n to_o reason_n to_o the_o law_n

suppose_v the_o subscriber_n and_o other_o ready_o enough_o to_o receive_v it_o and_o resolve_v to_o keep_v it_o neither_o do_v i_o see_v how_o honest_a man_n can_v resign_v this_o advantage_n they_o
