sheep_n of_o christ_n may_v err_v when_o he_o say_v i_o have_v go_v astray_o like_o a_o lose_a sheep_n and_o why_o be_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o church_n necessary_a for_o all_o the_o faithful_a if_o they_o be_v not_o liable_a to_o error_n therefore_o since_o all_o even_o godly_a man_n have_v often_o err_v several_o and_o do_v frequent_o err_v in_o some_o particular_a
