at_o his_o ordination_n the_o minister_n formal_o covenant_v and_o vow_v by_o god_n grace_n to_o perform_v which_o be_v so_o there_o can_v no_o scruple_n remain_v in_o any_o impartial_a man_n but_o

rather_o remain_v there_o as_o in_o a_o school_n as_o we_o see_v some_o of_o the_o son_n of_o the_o nobleman_n do_v to_o train_v they_o up_o to_o do_v service_n there_o to_o the_o king_n and_o
