say_v it_o be_v a_o different_a case_n i_o add_v then_o this_o forcible_a reason_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a be_v unanswerable_a if_o the_o word_n in_o spiritual_n or_o ecclesiastical_a thing_n or_o

the_o word_n only_a join_v to_o supreme_a governor_n and_o alice_n to_o thing_n or_o cause_n be_v so_o ample_a and_o extensive_a must_v either_o give_v he_o the_o whole_a latitude_n of_o power_n

that_o know_v or_o judge_n what_o be_v true_a faith_n or_o its_o best_a practice_n by_o natural_a reason_n not_o authoritative_a mission_n in_o this_o sense_n every_o layman_n be_v and_o aught_o to_o
