concern_v the_o constitutive_a regent_n part_n of_o a_o national_a church_n who_o existence_n must_v be_v acknowledge_v if_o a_o national_a church_n as_o such_o be_v a_o govern_v church_n or_o a_o

there_o be_v no_o government_n in_o the_o universal_a church_n the_o first_o 300_o year_n to_o gratify_v our_o author_n let_v we_o suppose_v that_o the_o universal_a church_n be_v as_o such_o a_o
