confirmation_n it_o be_v no_o hard_a matter_n to_o observe_v how_o much_o the_o interest_n of_o religion_n be_v concern_v in_o this_o ministery_n preservation_n by_o consider_v how_o piety_n peace_n

from_o whence_o otherwise_o they_o shall_v proceed_v we_o therefore_o cunclude_v they_o lawful_a instrument_n of_o god_n work_n and_o a_o bless_a and_o true_o christian_a ministry_n to_o this_o church_n the_o fecond_a argument_n for_o brevity_n sake_n i_o make_v as_o general_a and_o comprehensive_a as_o i_o can_v arg._n and_o thus_o it_o be_v if_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o all_o age_n and_o place_n through_o the_o whole_a succession_n of_o christian_a religion_n have_v the_o same_o separation_n to_o their_o office_n that_o we_o of_o this_o church_n of_o
