in_o one_o common_a war_n against_o enemy_n which_o god_n have_v subdue_v before_o they_o and_o there_o remain_v nothing_o but_o for_o they_o quiet_o to_o settle_v themselves_o in_o the_o fruition_n of_o all_o the_o good_a that_o god_n have_v wrought_v for_o they_o and_o now_o in_o the_o very_a close_a of_o all_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o destroy_v themselves_o and_o devour_v one_o another_o upon_o mistake_n and_o jealousy_n when_o no_o other_o enemy_n can_v do_v it_o and_o we_o have_v here_o also_o a_o most_o bless_a end_n of_o it_o by_o a_o treaty_n wherein_o god_n do_v so_o remove_v all_o stumbling-block_n that_o end_n their_o heart_n be_v firm_o unite_v and_o they_o join_v together_o to_o bless_v god_n and_o resolve_v not_o to_o go_v to_o war_n which_o that_o it_o may_v be_v
