that_o they_o leave_v both_o ordination_n and_o excommunication_n to_o a_o presbyter_n as_o well_o as_o to_o a_o bishop_n and_o this_o austin_n will_v have_v tolerate_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o my_o

have_v these_o meeting_n now_o that_o the_o scot_n do_v original_o commit_v act_n of_o order_n and_o jurisdiction_n to_o presbyter_n be_v a_o thing_n well_o know_v if_o any_o doubt_n concern_v it_o
