they_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n for_o the_o better_a inform_v both_o of_o you_o and_o other_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o where_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o a_o church_n or_o certain_a

yea_o this_o latter_a the_o two_o next_o verse_n go_v before_o these_o word_n you_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n do_v manifest_o convince_v for_o in_o they_o it_o be_v say_v and_o employ_v that_o

therefore_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n or_o at_o the_o most_o the_o visible_a church_n be_v so_o call_v have_v relation_n to_o these_o these_o be_v they_o that_o weep_v with_o they_o that_o

the_o faithful_a be_v only_o do_v and_o can_v offer_v such_o sacrifice_n therefore_o the_o invisible_a church_n be_v this_o royal_a priesthood_n or_o kingdom_n of_o priest_n and_o not_o the_o
