less_o have_v it_o any_o colour_n of_o candour_n or_o justice_n to_o say_v i_o assert_v it_o and_o maintain_v it_o how_o then_o can_v you_o answer_v i_o or_o give_v i_o satisfaction_n for_o say_v

but_o such_o as_o belong_v to_o our_o church_n therefore_o you_o must_v gather_v church_n out_o of_o our_o church_n therefore_o i_o that_o exhort_v you_o not_o to_o gather_v church_n out_o of_o our_o
