rule_n of_o nature_n in_o the_o three_o place_n we_o must_v inquire_v after_o the_o sense_n of_o heathen_a and_o publican_n sc_n the_o most_o odious_a of_o man_n be_v it_o possible_a that_o any_o

you_o will_v be_v bind_v either_o by_o text_n or_o context_n or_o the_o common_a acceptation_n of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o scripture_n by_o church_n must_v be_v understand_v the_o whole_a

the_o whole_a power_n be_v in_o the_o church_n i_o conceive_v than_o i_o have_v clear_o and_o brief_o prove_v these_o three_o thing_n 1_o that_o there_o be_v little_a in_o scripture_n for_o
