in_o a_o man_n now_o i_o can_v see_v how_o w._n pen_n argument_n can_v answer_v the_o end_n propose_v since_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a for_o the_o quaker_n nay_o impossible_a to_o be_v convince_v of_o the_o reasonableness_n of_o their_o obedience_n to_o scripture_n command_v as_o such_o if_o they_o adhere_v to_o the_o quaker_n doctrine_n and_o name_n of_o contempt_n they_o frequent_o cast_v upon_o

to_o scripture_n command_v as_o such_o again_o that_o the_o people_n may_v as_o well_o burn_v the_o scripture_n as_o their_o book_n again_o if_o ever_o you_o own_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n you_o

wherefore_o we_o do_v for_o this_o cause_n allow_v of_o those_o three_o creed_n namely_o the_o apostle_n the_o nicene_n and_o athanasius_n his_o creed_n because_o they_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o
