into_o the_o church_n we_o know_v that_o man_n of_o malignant_a and_o perverse_a spirit_n that_o have_v not_o a_o high_a god_n than_o a_o wicked_a king_n which_o suit_v only_o with_o their_o lustful_a

as_o their_o way_n be_v but_o if_o this_o be_v their_o fifth-monarchy_n we_o both_o be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v such_o and_o that_o according_a to_o his_o word_n vi_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o preach_v propagate_v and_o defend_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o to_o preserve_v the_o doctrine_n worship_n discipline_n government_n liberties_n and_o

if_o they_o have_v think_v it_o will_v have_v offend_v they_o minister_n depart_v from_o the_o court_n of_o christ_n and_o subjection_n to_o the_o ministry_n to_o the_o court_n of_o man_n and_o
