the_o refractory_a such_o thing_n as_o appertain_v to_o salvation_n and_o to_o faith_n be_v order_v by_o the_o apostle_n by_o a_o divine_a inspiration_n but_o in_o the_o rest_n they_o do_v often_o

that_o our_o church_n do_v offend_v against_o the_o divine_a right_n yet_o so_o as_o you_o exclude_v they_o not_o from_o hope_n of_o salvation_n but_o do_v think_v that_o in_o our_o church_n
