than_o it_o be_v a_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o receive_v they_o st._n peter_n think_v it_o a_o good_a reason_n why_o the_o christian_n shall_v make_v no_o difference_n

they_o pull_v down_o instead_o of_o build_v up_o steer_v a_o contrary_a course_n to_o christ_n in_o appoint_v that_o ordinance_n 2._o man_n right_a to_o the_o sign_n proceed_v upon_o the_o best_a

a_o right_a to_o the_o deed_n and_o evidence_n by_o which_o such_o a_o right_n be_v to_o be_v declare_v so_o those_o that_o have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n through_o

therefore_o as_o a_o detain_v of_o such_o evidence_n from_o he_o who_o by_o have_v right_a to_o the_o land_n have_v right_o to_o the_o evidence_n will_v be_v a_o injury_n even_o so_o for_o any_o as_o
