and_o that_o they_o shall_v read_v the_o epistle_n from_o laodicea_n col._n 4.16_o therefore_o they_o have_v ordinance_n and_o we_o can_v conceive_v but_o that_o they_o be_v pure_a for_o those_o time_n do_v not_o admit_v of_o impurity_n in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n we_o can_v think_v they_o want_v officer_n for_o the_o apostle_n will_v look_v to_o that_o in_o all_o the_o church_n nor_o can_v we_o imagine_v they_o want_v discipline_n and_o government_n a_o church_n constitute_v so_o early_o in_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o gospel_n can_v not_o but_o be_v well_o erect_v and_o in_o the_o reproof_n of_o this_o church_n they_o be_v not_o tax_v for_o want_v of_o these_o or_o any_o of_o they_o nay_o they_o write_v to_o paul_n as_o calvin_n think_v and_o if_o there_o have_v be_v such_o a_o defect_n in_o their_o church_n the_o epistle_n to_o the_o colossian_n will_v not_o have_v supply_v that_o want_n for_o it_o speak_v nothing_o of_o government_n and_o he_o give_v order_v it_o shall_v be_v communicate_v to_o they_o therefore_o according_a to_o the_o tenor_n and_o scope_n of_o the_o charge_n bring_v against_o this_o church_n we_o may_v safe_o say_v that_o their_o
