from_o man_n call_v a_o church_n and_o that_o because_o nothing_o can_v set_v up_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o what_o be_v infallible_a therefore_o we_o must_v accept_v the_o church_n as_o

for_o a_o few_o or_o the_o lesser_a number_n can_v be_v so_o such_o as_o many_o or_o the_o great_a number_n however_o not_o as_o this_o church_n that_o be_v set_v up_o as_o the_o ground_n and_o
