have_v determine_v indeed_o in_o matter_n of_o discipline_n and_o ceremony_n though_o in_o themselves_o of_o small_a concernment_n great_a opposition_n have_v often_o be_v make_v to_o the_o

have_v evidence_n of_o scripture_n and_o primitive_a consent_n if_o a_o church_n shall_v so_o far_o err_v as_o to_o judge_n contrary_a to_o these_o as_o for_o the_o error_n of_o monothelite_n or_o
