in_o life_n as_o here_o you_o see_v the_o whole_a sum_n of_o the_o office_n of_o a_o minister_n recite_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o pronounce_v by_o the_o bishop_n so_o in_o the_o whole_a

of_o provision_n for_o the_o poor_a unto_o a_o minister_n than_o he_o can_v change_v or_o alter_v a_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o that_o he_o can_v no_o more_o command_v a_o minister_n

if_o i_o sue_v you_o for_o the_o delivery_n of_o the_o plate_n you_o may_v use_v a_o exception_n of_o guile_n against_o i_o because_o i_o deal_v deceitful_o in_o demand_v the_o performance_n of_o a_o

therefore_o concern_v the_o contract_n make_v between_o the_o bishop_n and_o the_o party_n because_o the_o bishop_n oftentimes_o know_v the_o party_n that_o be_v to_o be_v make_v a_o minister_n by_o

and_o because_o the_o party_n that_o be_v to_o be_v make_v a_o minister_n know_v himself_o utter_o void_a of_o those_o grace_n and_o gift_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o he_o and_o therefore_o can_v believe_v himself_o to_o be_v true_o call_v or_o move_v to_o that_o office_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o because_o they_o both_o know_v that_o there_o have_v be_v no_o such_o calling_n no_o such_o
