and_o both_o of_o they_o considerable_a first_o because_o the_o church_n of_o god_n under_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v of_o a_o large_a extent_n then_o under_o the_o law_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n

according_a thereunto_o second_o and_o that_o be_v the_o main_a reason_n there_o be_v but_o one_o candlestick_n in_o the_o tabernacle_n because_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v but_o one_o and_o though_o they_o have_v many_o synagogue_n yet_o they_o meet_v all_o in_o one_o stem_n they_o be_v unite_v all_o in_o one_o shaft_n but_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n be_v many_o and_o for_o
