of_o those_o who_o spirit_n be_v wrought_v upon_o by_o that_o particular_a ministry_n to_o which_o they_o shall_v contribute_v now_o for_o christian_n to_o pretend_v to_o have_v power_n to_o make_v

shall_v be_v account_v lawful_a 2._o there_o be_v no_o magistrate_n have_v any_o power_n to_o make_v a_o law_n of_o those_o thing_n he_o perfect_o understand_v not_o for_o how_o can_v a_o right_a
