doctrine_n there_o may_v be_v a_o ordinary_a and_o external_a succession_n of_o place_n and_o person_n without_o succession_n of_o faith_n and_o truth_n of_o doctrine_n doctrine_n manifest_a here_o in_o these_o priest_n who_o hold_v the_o place_n and_o do_v ordinary_o succeed_v the_o priest_n who_o be_v special_o approve_v of_o god_n yet_o do_v not_o succeed_v they_o in_o faith_n and_o in_o
