to_o say_v there_o be_v such_o corruption_n in_o the_o liturgy_n when_o he_o do_v neither_o prove_v they_o to_o be_v such_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o name_v they_o what_o they_o be_v sure_o no._n and_o

that_o the_o dangerous_a position_n which_o too_o many_o of_o the_o presbyterian_a faction_n public_o maintain_v and_o in_o print_n proceed_v not_o so_o much_o from_o the_o personal_a disposition_n
