be_v well_o if_o you_o have_v show_v we_o where_o and_o which_o those_o assembly_n be_v that_o be_v reform_v we_o know_v indeed_o that_o many_o among_o you_o both_o minister_n and_o people_n have_v

first_o therefore_o tell_v we_o where_o and_o which_o those_o assemble_v be_v that_o be_v reform_v &_o then_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o direct_a answer_n god_n willing_a in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o

for_o a_o part_n of_o your_o church_n that_o be_v your_o reform_a assembly_n whereby_o you_o intimate_v that_o there_o be_v a_o worse_a sort_n of_o assembly_n that_o be_v unreform_v which_o you_o

be_v not_o every_o one_o of_o christ_n true_a church_n to_o be_v defend_v how_o deceitful_o then_o do_v you_o deal_v with_o your_o church_n that_o seek_v to_o uphould_v your_o reform_a assemble_v
