no_o way_n prejudge_v christ_n sound_n his_o institution_n in_o the_o forego_n jewish_a practice_n it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v thus_o argue_v the_o father_n conceive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o

they_o conceive_v imposition_n of_o hand_n to_o confer_v a_o character_n on_o those_o that_o be_v thus_o ordain_v to_o holy_a order_n therefore_o this_o be_v not_o found_v in_o the_o jewish_a custom_n
