every_o one_o that_o expect_v and_o look_v for_o another_o life_n when_o this_o be_v end_v but_o it_o may_v further_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o reject_v of_o the_o scripture_n and_o deny_v they_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v likewise_o a_o piece_n of_o familism_n and_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o caspar_n swenckfield_n a_o silesian_n and_o that_o upon_o this_o ground_n
