for_o to_o make_v all_o restraint_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n in_o matter_n indifferent_a a_o impeachment_n of_o christian_a liberty_n what_o be_v it_o else_o but_o even_o to_o bring_v flat_a

or_o no_o and_o thing_n absolute_o unlawful_a as_o prohibit_v by_o god_n we_o be_v bind_v not_o to_o do_v whether_o humane_a authority_n forbid_v they_o or_o no._n there_o be_v none_o other_o thing_n
