church_n as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o netherlands_o ergo_fw-la distinct_a congregation_n sever_v in_o divers_a place_n may_v make_v one_o church_n if_o many_o church_n which_o may_v subject_v

the_o 24._o church_n of_o geneva_n and_o the_o territory_n belong_v to_o it_o do_v subject_n themselves_o to_o the_o government_n of_o one_o presbytery_n and_o so_o make_v one_o for_o so_o far_o as_o

that_o no_o church_n but_o the_o mother_n church_n have_v a_o presbytery_n and_o a_o bishop_n but_o presbyter_n only_o nay_o it_o be_v ever_o by_o counsel_n condemn_v and_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o

have_v bishop_n and_o presbyter_n in_o every_o parish_n then_o to_o have_v a_o mayor_n and_o alderman_n such_o as_o we_o have_v in_o london_n ●n_o every_o town_n 2._o if_o every_o parish_n have_v a_o
