for_o we_o that_o believe_v in_o his_o death_n you_o may_v escape_v death_n therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a as_o you_o do_v to_o do_v nothing_o without_o the_o bishop_n but_o that_o you_o be_v

if_o any_o man_n take_v notice_n that_o the_o bishop_n hold_v his_o peace_n let_v he_o fear_v and_o reverence_v he_o so_o much_o the_o more_o for_o we_o ought_v to_o receive_v he_o who_o the_o
