from_o one_o another_o as_o plain_o show_v there_o be_v no_o truth_n nor_o certainty_n to_o be_v find_v for_o we_o but_o only_o in_o our_o return_n to_o they_o again_o i_o shall_v not_o here_o

to_o submit_v to_o the_o easy_a and_o lawful_a power_n of_o his_o church_n and_o his_o anoint_v bring_v we_o once_o more_o under_o the_o intolerable_a yoke_n of_o that_o usurp_a authority_n from_o who_o slavery_n both_o our_o country_n and_o our_o conscience_n be_v now_o so_o happy_o assert_v this_o i_o be_o sure_a we_o have_v too_o much_o deserve_v and_o may_v therefore_o just_o have_v but_o too_o great_a cause_n to_o fear_v only_o my_o hope_n be_v that_o whatever_o our_o own_o demerit_n be_v yet_o the_o innocence_n of_o our_o church_n shall_v still_o provoke_v god_n providence_n to_o defend_v she_o and_o that_o our_o deliverance_n as_o at_o this_o time_n from_o our_o enemy_n shall_v always_o disappoint_v such_o fatal_a expectation_n and_o convince_v they_o that_o though_o we_o have_v sin_v yet_o be_v we_o his_o people_n that_o he_o chastise_v we_o as_o child_n not_o punish_v we_o as_o his_o enemy_n and_o be_v still_o our_o god_n though_o angry_a and_o provoke_v how_o great_a be_v the_o demonstration_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o lovingkindness_n that_o we_o even_o now_o continue_v a_o church_n and_o people_n as_o at_o this_o day_n what_o miracle_n do_v he_o work_v
