true_a figure_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n of_o god_n must_v take_v in_o all_o those_o various_a state_n that_o fear_v god_n and_o work_n righteousness_n therefore_o a_o right_a gospel_n church_n with_o respect_n

to_o outward_a society_n be_v a_o comprehensive_a church_n and_o can_v shut_v out_o for_o opinion_n which_o deserve_v your_o most_o serious_a consideration_n in_o relation_n to_o your_o brethren_n at_o least_o but_o to_o apply_v what_o have_v be_v say_v to_o our_o case_n as_o it_o be_v sure_a that_o every_o man_n that_o come_v true_o to_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n must_v know_v the_o

that_o come_v true_o to_o know_v the_o new_a and_o heavenly_a man_n put_v on_o but_o see_v this_o can_v be_v do_v in_o all_o at_o one_o time_n as_o we_o be_v a_o society_n it_o must_v at_o least_o be_v do_v in_o our_o elder_n or_o leader_n or_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o society_n a_o true_a figure_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n of_o god_n for_o as_o be_v the_o elder_n or_o leader_n so_o be_v the_o people_n in_o a_o great_a measure_n that_o depend_v on_o they_o and_o therefore_o if_o our_o leader_n have_v narrow_a spirit_n and_o wrong_a notion_n of_o
