and_o come_v to_o pass_v and_o nothing_o that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n take_v in_o hand_n as_o a_o mean_a of_o defence_n but_o there_o be_v some_o mislook_n or_o other_o come_v upon_o it_o that_o

and_o they_o be_v keep_v in_o be_v ay_o as_o prick_n and_o thorn_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o side_n of_o the_o honest_a party_n and_o this_o put_v they_o ay_o to_o their_o prayer_n again_o that_o god_n will_v take_v some_o effectual_a way_n to_o purge_v his_o house_n and_o whether_o he_o be_v answer_v these_o prayer_n or_o no_o judge_v you_o and_o see_v oh_o but_o he_o be_v like_o now_o to_o take_v some_o effectual_a way_n to_o purge_v his_o house_n of_o many_o naughty_a minister_n elder_n that_o otherwise_o will_v not_o have_v be_v casten_z out_o in_o haste_n he_o be_v do_v more_o for_o the_o
