see_v therefore_o the_o maker_n of_o the_o law_n have_v full_a authority_n to_o expound_v the_o law_n and_o they_o have_v sufficient_o manifest_v that_o by_o the_o supreme_a government_n give_v to_o

second_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o one_o of_o the_o exhortation_n before_o the_o communion_n where_o we_o find_v the_o people_n be_v exhort_v by_o the_o priest_n that_o if_o they_o can_v quiet_v
