primitive_a christian_n preach_v therefore_o say_v we_o they_o have_v authority_n from_o the_o apostle_n or_o from_o god_n himself_o by_o immediate_a revelation_n because_o preach_v belong_v to_o officer_n which_o have_v their_o commission_n from_o christ_n for_o this_o work_n epbe_n 4._o 11._o but_o because_o we_o find_v these_o christian_n preach_v and_o they_o be_v not_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o private_a person_n without_o any_o other_o authority_n than_o their_o own_o gift_n to_o preach_v thus_o our_o writer_n conclude_v and_o thus_o he_o produce_v a_o

have_v not_o power_n to_o baptize_v believer_n convert_v and_o if_o they_o have_v power_n to_o baptize_v also_o then_o hence_o you_o may_v as_o well_o conclude_v that_o private_a person_n may_v
