he_o have_v his_o fruit_n as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n take_v upon_o he_o the_o profession_n of_o christ_n religion_n he_o may_v bring_v forth_o many_o outward_a duty_n of_o external_a obedience_n unto_o

〈◊〉_d he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o god_n appoint_v to_o teach_v god_n people_n the_o fruit_n of_o a_o true_a prophet_n be_v principal_o three_o i._o he_o teach_v prophet_n and_o preach_v in_o the_o name_n
