as_o both_o genevians_n and_o roman_n most_o erroneous_o do_v hold_v for_o none_o can_v make_v of_o a_o man_n a_o god_n on_o earth_n but_o god_n in_o heaven_n neither_o be_v it_o in_o the_o power_n

be_v ordain_v of_o man_n as_o he_o be_v for_o the_o good_a of_o man_n and_o therefore_o be_v by_o saint_n peter_n call_v a_o ordinance_n of_o man_n the_o apostle_n paul_n will_v never_o have_v name_v
