heart_n to_o read_v such_o line_n from_o mr._n henry_n burton_n against_o his_o quondam_a fellow-sufferer_n doctor_n bastwicke_n i_o meddle_v not_o with_o your_o argument_n about_o presbyterian_a

your_o affection_n but_o page_n the_o second_o you_o seem_v yourself_o to_o insinuate_v this_o question_n for_o say_v you_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o my_o two_o fellow-sufferer_n and_o

thus_o you_o sir_n before_o i_o answer_v your_o question_n i_o beseech_v you_o in_o all_o christian_n love_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o advise_v you_o o_o take_v heed_n take_v heed_n how_o you_o
