&_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

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
