if_o you_o answer_v that_o the_o doctrine_n and_o sacrament_n and_o discipline_n of_o christ_n be_v simple_o to_o be_v minister_v as_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v than_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v

and_o in_o like_a case_n i_o conclude_v that_o a_o minister_n bind_v as_o you_o have_v see_v before_o to_o minister_v the_o discipline_n of_o christ_n ought_v so_o to_o minister_v the_o same_o as_o
