say_v priestly_a office_n can_v pass_v from_o he_o to_o any_o creature_n nay_o it_o be_v needless_a for_o christ_n to_o have_v a_o deputy_n consider_v that_o a_o deputy_n only_o serve_v to_o supply_v

be_v christ_n deputy_n i_o answer_v that_o they_o be_v no_o deputy_n but_o only_o active_a instrument_n because_o they_o do_v only_o utter_v the_o word_n but_o it_o be_v christ_n that_o work_v in_o
