such_o a_o council_n the_o name_n of_o church_n be_v appropriate_v to_o christian_a congregation_n throughout_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o neither_o one_o justice_n or_o the_o whole_a

if_o any_o give_v more_o the_o more_o shame_n for_o they_o there_o be_v more_o flattery_n than_o honesty_n in_o it_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o have_v rather_o be_v under_o government_n than_o put_v to_o govern_v if_o i_o do_v not_o speak_v as_o i_o think_v i_o dare_v not_o speak_v it_o in_o this_o place_n my_o reason_n be_v because_o of_o the_o burden_n and_o the_o account_n to_o be_v give_v to_o christ_n for_o miscarriage_n for_o every_o steward_n must_v give_v account_n of_o his_o stewardship_n the_o civil_a magistrate_n of_o his_o 17._o and_o church-governor_n of_o they_o and_o if_o

for_o the_o present_a therefore_o let_v all_o be_v advise_v what_o they_o do_v and_o take_v heed_n how_o they_o lean_a to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o natural_a man_n what_o part_v so_o ever_o they_o have_v in_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n rather_o harken_v to_o those_o that_o be_v religious_o wise_a and_o judicious_a and_o conscientious_a so_o christ_n shall_v have_v his_o right_n and_o the_o civil_a
