so_o then_o they_o be_v no_o minister_n but_o they_o be_v layman_n so_o there_o be_v layman_n elder_n and_o ruler_n in_o the_o church_n and_o though_o here_o the_o church_n be_v take_v for_o the_o universal_a church_n of_o which_o particular_a church_n be_v member_n and_o part_n yet_o these_o particular_a church_n of_o congregation_n must_v have_v in_o themselves_o that_o which_o be_v

nor_o the_o well-being_n of_o the_o same_o but_o we_o know_v it_o can_v have_v the_o be_v of_o a_o church_n without_o doctrine_n not_o the_o well-being_n without_o discipline_n and_o as_o doctrine_n be_v necessary_a and_o administer_v by_o preacher_n so_o discipline_n be_v necessary_a and_o administer_v by_o ruler_n and_o as_o the_o object_n of_o the_o preacher_n to_o wit_n preach_v do_v differ_v from_o the_o object_n of_o the_o ruler_n which_o be_v ruling_n so_o that_o ruling_n be_v not_o preach_v neither_o be_v preach_v ruling_n therefore_o the_o person_n that_o preach_v and_o the_o person_n
