the_o head_n of_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n there_o be_v indeed_o three_o kind_n of_o doctrine_n the_o first_o be_v pure_o speculative_a as_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n the_o incarnation_n

such_o government_n may_v not_o be_v tyrannical_a that_o the_o church_n may_v not_o withdraw_v believer_n from_o their_o lawful_a lord_n in_o temporal_a matter_n it_o be_v most_o clear_a that_o all_o these_o be_v point_n of_o doctrine_n respect_v discipline_n so_o that_o a_o council_n that_o err_v in_o point_n of_o discipline_n that_o have_v a_o inseparable_a connexion_n with_o those_o doctrinal_n
