which_o you_o desire_v to_o be_v inform_v thus_o much_o in_o general_n evident_o appear_v that_o all_o meeting_n upon_o a_o unnecessary_a separation_n be_v to_o be_v so_o style_v so_o that_o in_o

under_o the_o pagan_a prince_n when_o for_o fear_v they_o dare_v not_o come_v together_o in_o open_a view_n be_v charge_v with_o foul_a imputation_n as_o by_o the_o report_n of_o christian_n
