that_o god_n set_v over_o he_o in_o all_o thing_n according_a to_o god_n and_o in_o thing_n of_o religion_n most_o of_o all_o because_o to_o obey_v be_v of_o itself_o a_o great_a instance_n of_o

when_o he_o use_v the_o ministry_n of_o man_n as_o when_o he_o use_v the_o ministry_n of_o angel_n one_o be_v as_o much_o declare_v and_o as_o certain_a as_o the_o other_o and_o if_o it_o be_v say_v

nothing_o but_o the_o way_n of_o darkness_n so_o that_o we_o be_v still_o as_o much_o bind_v to_o obey_v our_o superior_a as_o to_o obey_v a_o angel_n a_o man_n be_v paulò_fw-la minor_fw-la
