the_o conversion_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o church_n of_o the_o choice_n of_o the_o minister_n which_o be_v something_o like_o that_o philosophical_a question_n whether_o the_o hen_n or_o the_o

they_o be_v to_o desire_v and_o endeavour_v to_o have_v some_o of_o christ_n minister_n to_o take_v the_o particular_a inspection_n of_o they_o but_o we_o know_v that_o at_o first_o they_o receive_v
