this_o assure_v we_o of_o the_o presence_n of_o christ_n with_o his_o minister_n so_o long_o as_o the_o world_n endure_v but_o not_o that_o he_o will_v give_v the_o same_o measure_n of_o assistance_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v enjoy_v that_o which_o be_v sufficient_a in_o every_o age_n be_v ascertain_v by_o this_o promise_n but_o not_o that_o which_o be_v efficacious_a to_o such_o a_o degree_n as_o will_v secure_v they_o from_o all_o error_n for_o then_o every_o particular_a pastor_n will_v be_v as_o infallible_a as_o every_o apostle_n be_v 3._o when_o it_o be_v assert_v that_o when_o the_o
