external_a spiritual_a power_n of_o ability_n or_o freedom_n to_o minister_v they_o &_o of_o this_o power_n we_o speak_v as_o be_v that_o which_o the_o bishop_n as_o the_o spiritual_a governor_n of_o

that_o those_o minister_n thus_o preach_v do_v therein_o excercise_n the_o prelate_n power_n &_o that_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o minister_n and_o bishop_n 40_o as_o christ_n say_v of_o his_o
