be_v the_o cause_n of_o these_o revolt_n and_o sedition_n in_o those_o country_n but_o if_o a_o great_a part_n of_o those_o disorder_n arise_v from_o the_o discontent_n which_o the_o want_n of_o mean_n to_o attend_v their_o spiritual_a exercise_n do_v cause_n which_o without_o doubt_n be_v almost_o the_o only_a cause_n i_o conceive_v it_o be_v a_o work_n very_o please_v to_o be_v able_a by_o
