a_o dinner_n and_o a_o supper_n again_o this_o circumstance_n of_o time_n may_v serve_v to_o resolve_v two_o weighty_a question_n the_o first_o whether_o we_o do_v well_o in_o administer_a the_o

christ_n be_v furnish_v with_o a_o small_a number_n and_o tie_v to_o a_o private_a chamber_n to_o prevent_v violence_n &_o disturbance_n we_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o public_a congregation_n
