some_o have_v do_v so_o for_o be_v allow_v by_o some_o perhaps_o yourself_o the_o key_n of_o power_n or_o liberty_n in_o discipline_n as_o you_o call_v it_o they_o have_v wrest_v not_o only_o the_o

not_o of_o the_o distribution_n for_o the_o distribution_n give_v both_o the_o key_n to_o the_o same_o man_n for_o the_o same_o man_n that_o have_v the_o key_n of_o knowledge_n have_v also_o the_o

and_o commissary_n etc._n etc._n some_o of_o they_o at_o least_o be_v deacon_n who_o be_v repute_v of_o the_o clergy_n as_o they_o speak_v and_o may_v preach_v if_o they_o will_v and_o so_o have_v both_o key_n in_o one_o person_n though_o limit_v in_o some_o particular_a act_n of_o they_o but_o if_o our_o late_a deacon_n be_v as_o some_o of_o our_o brethren_n have_v say_v they_o be_v virtual_o

the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n both_o to_o open_v and_o shut_v the_o door_n of_o the_o church_n against_o they_o page_z 9_o beside_o what_o you_o say_v elsewhere_o 4._o i_o will_v glad_o be_v resolve_v whether_o you_o do_v not_o divide_v the_o key_n of_o order_n into_o a_o key_n of_o power_n or_o liberty_n and_o a_o key_n of_o authority_n on_o purpose_n to_o make_v way_n for_o the_o power_n of_o the_o people_n as_o they_o of_o old_a do_v for_o the_o power_n of_o the_o chancellor_n etc._n etc._n last_o i_o pray_v you_o serious_o to_o consider_v whether_o by_o this_o sacrilegious_a breach_n of_o order_n invest_v the_o people_n with_o a_o key_n of_o power_n even_o above_o those_o elder_n that_o labour_v in_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n to_o open_v and_o shut_v the_o door_n against_o

orderly_a walk_n as_o become_v christian_n profess_v the_o gospel_n so_o that_o by_o order_n there_o be_v mean_v their_o moral_n orderly_o walk_v as_o in_o other_o duty_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n so_o in_o their_o submission_n to_o the_o order_n of_o government_n or_o exercise_v of_o the_o key_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o officer_n i_o believe_v no_o interpreter_n but_o yourself_o and_o some_o other_o of_o late_a ever_o take_v those_o word_n in_o

to_o the_o general_a visible_a church_n for_o their_o sake_n and_o then_o to_o the_o particular_a congregation_n as_o a_o part_n or_o member_n of_o that_o general_a visible_a church_n but_o if_o you_o

be_v very_o little_a reason_n 2._o you_o say_v the_o key_n be_v ordinance_n which_o christ_n have_v institute_v to_o be_v administer_v in_o his_o church_n what_o church_n the_o church_n of_o
