nine_o query_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o these_o be_v not_o another_o gospel_n but_o be_v institution_n of_o the_o same_o gospel_n preach_v by_o the_o apostle_n but_o second_o take_v our_o

see_v that_o be_v scripture-rule_n it_o be_v ecclesiastical_a constitution_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o particular_a definition_n and_o accommodation_n of_o these_o circumstance_n which_o be_v a_o
