but_o rather_o we_o ought_v to_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o the_o church_n be_v ordain_v for_o this_o purpose_n that_o it_o shall_v continual_o go_v a_o warfare_n under_o the_o cross_n as_o long_o as_o

for_o asmuch_o as_o it_o be_v continual_o toss_v with_o diverse_a storm_n as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o rough_a sea_n first_o the_o lord_n give_v a_o evident_a token_n of_o his_o wonderful_a providence_n
