within_o the_o interval_n of_o the_o ephesine_n church_n in_o our_o sense_n several_a reproof_n and_o exhortation_n in_o the_o epistle_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v plain_o evince_v see_v dr._n

small_a reason_n for_o it_o that_o name_n be_v so_o particular_o and_o pompous_o set_v out_o for_o a_o special_a name_n of_o he_o and_o though_o he_o have_v ever_o have_v a_o right_a unto_o it_o yet_o
