if_o i_o must_v be_v sway_v by_o man_n i_o have_v rather_o think_v well_o of_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o father_n and_o church_n of_o all_o age_n who_o for_o aught_o i_o find_v do_v all_o that_o

that_o these_o 12_o disciple_n be_v baptize_v again_o by_o paul_n or_o on_o his_o preach_v and_o for_o that_o great_a and_o unanswerable_a argument_n wherewith_o beza_n and_o other_o do_v seek_v to_o
