i_o unhappy_o quote_v these_o his_o word_n p._n 141._o in_o his_o discourse_n concern_v the_o fanaticisme_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n by_o fanaticisme_n we_o understand_v either_o a_o enthusiastic_a

my_o mistake_n be_v because_o i_o suppose_v that_o the_o dr._n proceed_v like_o a_o scholar_n and_o that_o according_o beginning_z to_o treat_v of_o fanaticisme_n he_o will_v give_v we_o some_o

this_o mistake_n and_o i_o promise_v never_o more_o to_o be_v mistake_v in_o he_o upon_o that_o account_n nor_o ever_o to_o suppose_v that_o he_o proceed_v like_o a_o scholar_n neither_o do_v this_o

i_o infer_v that_o the_o very_a constitution_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n which_o we_o both_o suppose_v to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n be_v destructive_a to_o fanaticisme_n because_o she_o do_v not_o
