twenty_o cap_n be_v bind_v to_o obey_v you_o in_o this_o case_n 3._o whether_o usual_o the_o most_o studious_a laborious_a minister_n be_v not_o the_o most_o invaletudinary_a and_o infirm_a and_o

the_o man_n be_v damn_v because_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o he_o may_v repent_v though_o he_o never_o do_v express_v it_o will_v you_o therefore_o take_v he_o for_o a_o brother_n who_o soul_n be_v

be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o our_o judgement_n we_o conclude_v not_o peremptory_o because_o we_o pretend_v not_o here_o to_o infallibility_n as_o we_o be_v not_o sure_a that_o any_o man_n be_v true_o
