great_a deal_n of_o poison_n i_o shall_v therefore_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o ignorant_a and_o such_o as_o lie_v most_o obnoxious_a to_o their_o snare_n discover_v the_o cheat._n to_o omit_v that_o this_o expression_n several_a ministration_n before_o and_o after_o the_o law_n by_o moses_n and_o after_o by_o john_n baptist_n and_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n can_v scarce_o be_v make_v

full_a measure_n rule_n and_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o shall_v afterward_o come_v into_o the_o world_n whereas_o the_o ministration_n of_o christ_n be_v indeed_o the_o ministration_n of_o
