and_o therefore_o no_o church_n these_o reason_n though_o they_o be_v weak_a and_o most_o weak_a yet_o be_v they_o péevish_a and_o very_a dangerous_a and_o therefore_o i_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o confute_v they_o touch_v the_o first_o where_o they_o say_v we_o have_v not_o a_o lawful_a ministry_n i_o answer_v we_o have_v yea_o and_o such_o a_o ministry_n as_o be_v send_v of_o god_n and_o
