reverend_a cobbler_n or_o inspire_v button_n maker_n do_v the_o same_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o remember_v you_o here_o of_o the_o late_a schism_n of_o your_o congregation_n at_o rotterd_a 〈◊〉_d they_o

that_o you_o who_o deny_v all_o outward_a calling_n except_o that_o from_o the_o people_n shall_v think_v the_o curate_n none_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o they_o derive_v their_o
