this_o in_o question_n as_o he_o himself_o have_v sometime_o do_v in_o this_o treatise_n all_o the_o question_n in_o this_o point_n be_v whether_o ever_o the_o apostle_n do_v enjoin_v unto_o whole_a

and_o prescribe_v be_v in_o number_n equal_a to_o our_o ceremony_n the_o answer_n of_o my_o brethren_n have_v three_o member_n the_o first_o member_n say_v that_o sundry_a of_o the_o thing_n i_o

which_o be_v use_v only_o in_o god_n worship_n but_o sundry_a of_o the_o thing_n allege_v be_v not_o such_o and_o therefore_o by_o my_o own_o account_n they_o be_v not_o ceremony_n but_o my_o
