of_o this_o one_o absurdity_n of_o the_o want_n of_o visibilitie_n in_o the_o church_n a_o thousand_o other_o do_v follow_v as_o that_o there_o be_v vivisible_a pastor_n &_o vet_z invisible_a that_o there_o be_v visible_a people_n &_o yet_o invisible_a that_o there_o be_v a_o church_n yet_o no_o church_n and_o if_o our_o adversary_n say_v there_o be_v true_a pastor_n true_a faithful_a people_n
