intolerable_a in_o the_o church_n the_o minor_a be_v evident_a for_o it_o be_v clean_o contrary_a to_o the_o manifest_a scripture_n both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n it_o abolish_v the_o

11._o from_o a_o contrary_a to_o help_v and_o to_o hurt_v be_v two_o thing_n clean_o contrary_a consequent_a as_o may_v be_v therefore_o at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n they_o can_v be_v in_o
