these_o office_n for_o no_o less_o can_v be_v conceive_v to_o have_v be_v intend_v by_o christ_n in_o his_o promise_n of_o be_v with_o his_o church_n to_o the_o end_n now_o when_o the_o great_a

of_o a_o priest_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n now_o commit_v to_o such_o by_o the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n and_o since_o many_o say_v that_o the_o gospel-priesthood_n be_v leave_v open_a to_o

to_o we_o for_o first_o consider_v that_o though_o they_o be_v our_o enemy_n yet_o by_o their_o evil_a design_n we_o may_v often_o be_v the_o better_a for_o they_o though_o they_o may_v intend_v no_o
