say_v he_o do_v not_o he_o contradict_v himself_o who_o say_v p._n 28._o in_o this_o case_n of_o a_o corrupt_a church_n every_o one_o for_o such_o a_o undertake_n must_v have_v a_o warrant_n by_o a_o

discipline_n yet_o god_n reserve_v secret_o some_o true_a believer_n and_o some_o professor_n together_o with_o so_o much_o of_o his_o ordinance_n as_o to_o substantial_o and_o necessary_a

be_v come_v now_o to_o consider_v with_o he_o what_o be_v the_o union_n and_o communion_n of_o a_o particular_a church_n 214._o pag._n 214._o that_o so_o we_o may_v know_v wherein_o the_o bond_n
