our_o brethren_n say_v in_o practice_n they_o will_v own_v this_o for_o 1._o i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o our_o brethren_n whether_o one_o church_n may_v according_o to_o gospel_n rule_v receive_v

translate_v into_o another_o church_n why_o be_v he_o not_o again_o baptise_a his_o relation_n to_o the_o former_a church_n cease_v 3._o i_o will_v fain_o know_v with_o what_o consistency_n of_o principle_n our_o brethren_n say_v a_o minister_n or_o pastor_n be_v in_o office_n only_o to_o a_o particular_a church_n and_o yet_o say_v he_o that_o be_v in_o office_n to_o this_o church_n may_v administer_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n to_o the_o member_n of_o another_o church_n oh_o but_o they_o do_v this_o they_o tell_v we_o by_o a_o communion_n of_o church_n by_o a_o communion_n of_o membership_n only_o or_o of_o office_n and_o officer_n only_o the_o first_o alone_o may_v give_v the_o member_n a_o right_a to_o take_v but_o not_o the_o officer_n a_o right_a to_o give_v

say_v that_o when_o the_o pastor_n of_o our_o brethren_n church_n preach_v out_o of_o their_o particular_a church_n they_o preach_v but_o as_o gift_a man_n yet_o i_o be_o sure_a other_o of_o our_o

same_o page_n alter_v their_o phrase_n instead_o of_o say_v we_o deny_v office_n to_o be_v a_o correlate_n to_o the_o universal_a church_n they_o say_v we_o deny_v pastor_n and_o teacher_n to_o be_v
