that_o church_n which_o in_o my_o heart_n i_o do_v allow_v of_o i_o protest_v before_o god_n to_o recognise_v and_o acknowledge_v that_o for_o the_o true_a church_n which_o have_v for_o the_o rule_n

the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n since_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o we_o can_v not_o acknowledge_v any_o for_o the_o house_n of_o god_o but_o that_o which_o be_v the_o pillar_n and_o stay_n of_o the_o
