of_o putrid_a humour_n from_o a_o ulcer_n in_o the_o arm_n in_o this_o case_n the_o arm_n err_v in_o so_o impose_v on_o the_o hand_n but_o the_o hand_n rebel_v not_o in_o reject_v what_o the_o arm_n

all_o this_o while_n though_o we_o dispute_v the_o independancie_n of_o church_n among_o themselves_o yet_o we_o have_v not_o the_o least_o shadow_n of_o a_o thought_n to_o withdraw_v any_o church_n
