to_o every_o church-act_n it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n for_o they_o to_o bring_v in_o anarchy_n be_v always_o the_o great_a number_n and_o so_o to_o swallow_v up_o the_o vote_n of_o the_o elder_n as_o

concurrence_n to_o excommunication_n and_o censure_n as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o people_n be_v a_o mere_a nullity_n of_o rule_n and_o authority_n too_o that_o the_o power_n of_o excommunication_n
