here_o you_o must_v admit_v that_o a_o minister_n episcopal_o ordain_v may_v possible_o join_v with_o they_o in_o this_o separation_n from_o the_o bishop_n or_o else_o you_o will_v allow_v of_o what_o

15._o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o exercise_n of_o catholic_n communion_n in_o a_o particular_a church_n which_o the_o necessity_n of_o affair_n require_v since_o all_o the_o christian_n in_o
