be_v hereby_o manifest_a that_o sometime_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o in_o a_o visible_a church_n there_o be_v which_o maintain_v some_o error_n and_o it_o may_v be_v some_o of_o they_o convince_v

that_o they_o not_o only_o despise_v private_a admonition_n but_o also_o for_o a_o time_n the_o judgement_n and_o public_a censure_n of_o the_o church_n as_o for_o example_n the_o man_n which_o take_v
