a_o multitude_n of_o minister_n who_o be_v not_o able_a to_o preach_v bishop_n the_o word_n whereas_o there_o be_v not_o one_o preacher_n but_o he_o be_v able_a to_o put_v on_o a_o ministerial_a

unless_o the_o wear_n of_o a_o ministerial_a garment_n be_v repute_v more_o precious_a than_o be_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o worde_n that_o the_o not_o wear_v of_o the_o one_o by_o a_o preacher_n
