reverend_a brother_n must_v either_o prove_v from_o scripture_n that_o christ_n as_o mediator_n have_v give_v such_o a_o commission_n of_o vice-gerent-ship_n and_o deputyship_n to_o the_o christian_a

say_v not_o that_o christ_n be_v give_v to_o the_o church_n as_o the_o head_n of_o all_o principality_n and_o power_n the_o brother_n say_v so_o and_o in_o say_v so_o he_o make_v christ_n a_o head_n to_o those_o that_o be_v not_o of_o his_o body_n the_o apostle_n say_v far_o otherwise_o that_o god_n give_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o head_n over_o all_o thing_n to_o the_o church_n which_o be_v his_o
