the_o church_n may_v be_v without_o they_o so_o be_v it_o for_o some_o while_n after_o christ_n ascension_n for_o then_o neither_o be_v the_o christian_a church_n so_o eminent_a as_o that_o of_o the_o

the_o church_n if_o the_o company_n of_o all_o true_a believer_n that_o now_o be_v and_o heretofore_o have_v be_v include_v the_o holy_a apostle_n together_o with_o they_o then_o i_o grant_v it_o

the_o way_n of_o catholic_a discipline_n which_o have_v fly_v down_o to_o we_o from_o christ_n by_o his_o apostle_n yet_o the_o authority_n that_o sway_v most_o in_o the_o present_a church_n do_v
