the_o world_n and_o to_o save_v they_o from_o be_v vi●ified_v as_o schismatic_n and_o undo_v and_o when_o man_n profess_v before_o the_o lord_n that_o they_o do_v impartial_o study_v and_o pray_v for_o knowledge_n and_o will_v glad_o know_v the_o will_n of_o god_n at_o the_o dear_a rate_n we_o must_v again_o say_v that_o those_o man_n must_v prove_v that_o they_o know_v the_o dissentor_n
