that_o the_o office_n of_o pastor_n ought_v still_o to_o continue_v and_o that_o the_o office_n of_o elder_n ought_v not_o to_o continue_v because_o the_o office_n of_o elder_n with_o all_o their_o

the_o admonitor_n paradox_n and_o here_o i_o appeal_v the_o conscience_n of_o all_o the_o reverend_a bishop_n and_o prelate_n in_o the_o land_n and_o let_v they_o answer_v i_o hardly_o if_o they_o
