all_o that_o i_o have_v offer_v you_o by_o it_o in_o the_o follow_a inference_n and_o first_o it_o appear_v from_o this_o whole_a discourse_n what_o sort_n of_o man_n those_o be_v that_o make_v

this_o be_v evident_a alone_o from_o this_o apostolical_a injunction_n to_o he_o who_o st._n paul_n have_v place_v in_o the_o next_o degree_n of_o authority_n to_o himself_o and_o he_o speak_v it_o
