this_o have_v be_v their_o only_a way_n to_o get_v leave_n here_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o if_o a_o popish_a priest_n shall_v turn_v protestant_n here_o we_o will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o

how_o the_o communion_n of_o rome_n have_v right_o to_o convey_v to_o our_o bishop_n a_o valid_a ordination_n and_o a_o power_n of_o ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n we_o must_v whether_o or_o not_o she_o be_v so_o make_v she_o a_o true_a church_n or_o else_o she_o can_v not_o have_v convey_v it_o but_o papist_n do_v press_v on_o either_o they_o have_v not_o all_o essential_a point_n of_o faith_n
