or_o how_o do_v their_o profession_n belong_v thereunto_o see_v that_o for_o ordinary_a calling_n we_o have_v none_o such_o in_o our_o church_n except_o as_o i_o say_v it_o be_v among_o the_o papist_n

that_o which_o they_o call_v the_o faith_n of_o miracle_n be_v already_o cease_v for_o see_v that_o the_o end_n of_o work_a miracle_n be_v to_o confirm_v the_o word_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v 1._o
