landlord_n and_o the_o carefulness_n of_o tenant_n be_v almost_o measure_v to_o a_o acre_n but_o if_o such_o a_o place_n be_v discover_v i_o must_v allow_v that_o the_o preacher_n there_o be_v the_o first_o planter_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o in_o all_o other_o place_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v but_o the_o continuer_v thereof_o i_o hope_v christ_n have_v reap_v much_o goodness_n long_o ago_o where_o these_o now_o new_a pretend_v to_o plant_v it_o and_o if_o england_n have_v not_o have_v a_o true_a church_n hitherto_o i_o fear_v it_o will_v not_o have_v a_o true_a church_n hereafter_o the_o second_o thing_n i_o commend_v unto_o you_o be_v this_o that_o a_o perfect_a reformation_n of_o any_o church_n in_o this_o world_n may_v be_v desire_v but_o not_o hope_v for_o let_v zenophons_n
