five_o to_o five_o in_o the_o parable_n be_v not_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o good_a as_o bad_a in_o the_o church_n there_o may_v possible_o be_v a_o visible_a church_n where_o there_o be_v none_o bad_a but_o i_o doubt_v there_o be_v none_o such_o find_v there_o be_v but_o twelve_o disciple_n and_o one_o be_v a_o devil_n and_o all_o the_o parable_n whereour_n saviour_n hold_v out_o the_o nature_n and_o state_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n to_o we_o be_v we_o find_v there_o be_v a_o mixture_n so_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o sour_a there_o be_v four_o sort_n of_o ground_n to_o which_o the_o kingdom_n 19_o of_o heaven_n be_v compare_v and_o but_o one_o of_o they_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n to_o perfection_n the_o stony_a ground_n it_o be_v quick_o scorch_v from_o the_o

be_v choke_v when_o all_o be_v do_v and_o so_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o tare_n sow_v in_o the_o field_n they_o grow_v up_o 25._o with_o the_o corn_n and_o it_o seem_v by_o the_o ancient_a report_n
