be_v nail_n fasten_v they_o have_v their_o authority_n of_o the_o man_n of_o the_o congregation_n other_o book_n be_v not_o like_o they_o but_o be_v give_v by_o one_o pastor_n that_o be_v to_o say_v one_o king_n be_v pastor_n church_n have_v appoint_v wiseman_n to_o peruse_v and_o allow_v book_n these_o man_n in_o this_o book_n have_v acknowledge_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o allow_v it_o to_o

then_o be_v there_o need_v of_o a_o wise_a workman_n that_o be_v it_o must_v be_v a_o cunning_a workman_n that_o can_v well_o whet_v out_o a_o old_a rusty_a axe_n so_o it_o be_v needful_a he_o be_v a_o wise_a man_n that_o can_v handsome_o use_v such_o evil_a tool_n that_o be_v the_o world_n and_o such_o perverse_a and_o untoward_a man_n man_n by_o nature_n be_v disspitefull_a but_o god_n have_v
