against_o which_o there_o can_v be_v in_o my_o conscience_n no_o cavil_n but_o i_o can_v live_v and_o die_v in_o the_o assurance_n that_o that_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n it_o be_v incredible_a how_o the_o simple_a may_v settle_v themselves_o herein_o in_o all_o the_o fundamental_a point_n of_o religion_n if_o thou_o find_v of_o these_o but_o 20._o 30._o 40._o or_o 50._o place_n in_o the_o

i_o will_v stick_v to●…_n and_o for_o other_o question_n let_v they_o wrangle_v while_o they_o will_v i_o will_v receive_v further_a light_n when_o i_o see_v it_o clear_a but_o their_o quarrel_v shall_v not_o much_o trouble_v i_o and_o thus_o i_o may_v go_v on_o with_o the_o particular_n of_o the_o first_o sort_n of_o rule_n but_o these_o shall_v suffice_v to_o give_v light_n to_o the_o

that_o they_o deserve_v to_o be_v hate_v because_o they_o will_v not_o keep_v company_n with_o their_o neighbour_n and_o because_o they_o stand_v so_o precise_o upon_o small_a matter_n as_o lesser_a
