live_v where_o nothing_o be_v lawful_a then_o where_o all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o outrage_n that_o man_n will_v show_v one_o to_o another_o if_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v

for_o as_o the_o apostle_n though_o never_o so_o excellent_a minister_n can_v not_o perform_v all_o ecclesiastical_a duty_n to_o the_o people_n alone_o therefore_o do_v choose_v deacon_n to_o look_v

3._o 1._o tim._n 3._o as_o he_o that_o must_v be_v a_o minister_n in_o the_o church_n must_v be_v specyallye_o qualify_v so_o he_o that_o be_v a_o magistrate_n in_o the_o common_a wealth_n must_v

to_o this_o that_o when_o they_o shall_v choose_v a_o wise_a man_n they_o choose_v not_o a_o fool_n they_o shall_v choose_v one_o that_o love_v the_o truth_n they_o choose_v not_o a_o papist_n when_o they_o shall_v choose_v one_o that_o fear_v god_n they_o choose_v not_o a_o atheist_n when_o they_o shall_v choose_v one_o that_o hate_v covetousness_n they_o choose_v not_o a_o usurer_n let_v this_o be_v respect_v not_o only_o in_o all_o ordynary_a election_n but_o in_o those_o that_o be_v more_o extraordinary_a as_o knight_n and_o burgess_n for_o the_o parliament_n house_n and_o clerk_n for_o the_o convocation_n house_n where_o law_n be_v likely_a to_o be_v make_v as_o man_n be_v mind_v therefore_o whosoever_o be_v propound_v let_v such_o be_v elect_v as_o be_v religious_a man_n and_o
