&_o whereunto_o it_o serve_v must_v become_v as_o we_o say_v organical_a have_v member_n of_o diverse_a rank_n some_o as_o head_n mouth_n &_o eye_n the_o pastor_n teacher_n &_o elder_n some_o as_o

concern_v the_o church_n be_v how_o parish_n assembly_n be_v part_n of_o diocesan_n false_a church_n can_v any_o more_o be_v repute_v true_a church_n than_o can_v a_o particular_a jewish_a synagogue_n

not_o the_o like_a reason_n for_o parish_n assembly_n be_v not_o spiritual_a part_n of_o a_o diocesan_n spiritual_a church_n but_o entire_o spiritual_a body_n though_o civil_o combine_v into_o a_o

the_o second_o head_n there_o be_v but_o one_o quaestion_n move_v that_o be_v whether_o a_o man_n fit_v &_o inward_o call_v to_o the_o ministry_n be_v persuade_v in_o his_o heart_n that_o a_o lawful_a

&_o yet_o have_v his_o heart_n so_o full_o set_v unto_o the_o ministry_n that_o he_o can_v have_v peace_n without_o that_o function_n ought_v as_o i_o think_v to_o take_v any_o good_a occasion_n of_o remove_v into_o some_o other_o place_n of_o more_o freedom_n to_o the_o demand_n in_o the_o 3_o &_o 4_o head_n i_o have_v answer_v before_o that_o preach_v be_v necessary_o require_v by_o the_o
