what_o public_a and_o solemn_a assembly_n they_o can_v then_o or_o may_v in_o aftertime_n enjoy_v for_o as_o our_o saviour_n make_v use_v of_o all_o private_a conference_n and_o meeting_n not_o in_o

the_o religion_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v no_o convention_n for_o public_a exercise_n of_o christian_a religion_n permit_v or_o command_v in_o those_o time_n until_o the_o roman_a empire_n and_o other_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n become_v christian_a it_o be_v therefore_o a_o thing_n impossible_a that_o the_o private_a meeting_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o those_o
