reverend_a cobbler_n or_o inspire_v button_n maker_n do_v the_o same_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o remember_v you_o here_o of_o the_o late_a schism_n of_o your_o congregation_n at_o rotterd_a 〈◊〉_d they_o

that_o you_o who_o deny_v all_o outward_a calling_n except_o that_o from_o the_o people_n shall_v think_v the_o curate_n none_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o they_o derive_v their_o

monarchical_a subjection_n you_o do_v establish_v a_o democracy_n in_o the_o church_n or_o a_o anarchy_n rather_o they_o complain_v of_o perjury_n because_o we_o refuse_v to_o maintain_v their_o order_n as_o if_o who_o among_o they_o have_v swear_v canonical_a obedience_n to_o a_o heretical_a bishop_n be_v oblige_v to_o be_v a_o heretic_n you_o of_o the_o want_n of_o purity_n because_o we_o
