to_o act_n in_o the_o capacity_n of_o apostle_n or_o messenger_n of_o the_o gospel_n at_o least_o as_o we_o have_v define_v they_o see_v it_o can_v be_v prove_v neither_o i_o think_v do_v our_o

it_o be_v strange_a they_o shall_v dislike_v our_o calling_n those_o office_n by_o such_o name_n as_o the_o scripture_n give_v they_o rather_o than_o by_o such_o name_n as_o be_v exclusive_a of_o

which_o be_v comprehensive_a of_o all_o office_n in_o the_o church_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o we_o find_v the_o apostle_n sometime_o perform_v the_o office_n of_o deacon_n when_o it_o may_v be_v
