if_o by_o free_a choice_n of_o the_o faithful_a you_o mean_v that_o in_o the_o choose_n of_o a_o pastor_n the_o people_n or_o private_a member_n of_o the_o flock_n be_v to_o give_v their_o voice_n

by_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o people_n neither_o do_v they_o hold_v that_o way_n the_o most_o convenient_a for_o the_o people_n to_o declare_v their_o consent_n but_o rather_o their_o silence_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o diverse_a epistle_n of_o master_n beza_n and_o namely_o in_o the_o last_o but_o when_o a_o flock_n be_v destitute_a of_o a_o pastor_n their_o choice_n be_v after_o this_o sort_n
