of_o take_v a_o oath_n and_o of_o swear_v before_o a_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o in_o one_o thing_n they_o be_v out_o of_o a_o principle_n of_o pretend_a sanctity_n more_o rude_a and_o inhuman_a

for_o the_o reconciler_n to_o have_v urge_v argument_n rather_o for_o their_o conviction_n than_o for_o their_o reconciliation_n for_o until_o he_o have_v convince_v they_o and_o the_o other_o

a_o reconciliation_n between_o light_n and_o darkness_n between_o yea_o and_o nay_o wherefore_o see_v these_o thing_n be_v impossible_a we_o do_v from_o the_o premise_n conclude_v the_o quaker_n as_o

of_o england_n and_o the_o dissenter_n whilst_o they_o continue_v such_o in_o our_o apprehension_n the_o reconciler_n may_v as_o well_o plead_v for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n condescension_n to_o

notwithstanding_o their_o obligation_n to_o the_o pope_n in_o spiritual_n as_o also_o by_o strict_a and_o frequent_a fast_n according_a to_o their_o church_n order_n and_o by_o their_o daily_a
