concern_v the_o mind_n of_o our_o reformer_n you_o affirm_v that_o the_o authoritative_a judgement_n of_o our_o reformer_n be_v evident_a not_o only_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o faith_n ratify_v in_o parliament_n but_o also_o by_o the_o book_n of_o discipline_n act_n of_o general_n assembly_n and_o by_o their_o own_o write_v first_o we_o marvel_v how_o you_o can_v say_v that_o the_o private_a

establish_v in_o general_n assembly_n wherein_o master_n knox_n and_o other_o reformer_n be_v present_a we_o need_v not_o to_o insist_v much_o in_o this_o see_v so_o many_o of_o you_o who_o be_v
