knowl_v for_o private_a person_n preach_v as_o i_o do_v and_o do_v against_o it_o as_o other_o also_o do_v but_o because_o in_o all_o thing_n wherein_o i_o have_v make_v use_n of_o he_o as_o a_o

the_o vote_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o new-england_n we_o gather_v because_o the_o title_n of_o one_o of_o these_o book_n wherein_o he_o speak_v against_o layman_n preach_v be_v this_o the_o way_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o new-england_n and_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o book_n be_v to_o show_v and_o make_v good_a the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n there_o in_o matter_n of_o order_n and_o discipline_n and_o government_n now_o in_o this_o book_n there_o be_v no_o such_o practice_n as_o private_a person_n preach_v mention_v nay_o mr._n cotton_n express_v himself_o often_o and_o pathetical_o against_o it_o and_o show_v we_o that_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o allow_v mere_a layman_n to_o preach_v that_o they_o do_v not_o allow_v all_o ecclesiastical_a officer_n
