yet_o not_o withstand_v this_o prove_v not_o their_o calling_n to_o be_v ever_o the_o better_a as_o it_o be_v in_o civil_a government_n if_o the_o king_n who_o god_n have_v make_v a_o lawful_a

therefore_o his_o call_n be_v as_o good_a as_o the_o other_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o he_o that_o have_v no_o authority_n make_v officer_n though_o the_o man_n themselves_o be_v never_o so_o good_a and_o holy_a yet_o their_o holiness_n make_v their_o call_n never_o awhitt_v the_o true_a but_o still_o be_v a_o false_a a_o calling_n in_o regard_n his_o authority_n be_v not_o good_a

more_o to_o answer_v for_o then_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o god_n have_v bestow_v great_a joust_n upon_o they_o then_o upon_o other_o and_o yet_o they_o detain_v the_o
