or_o injustice_n of_o they_o and_o consequent_o concern_v certain_a passage_n in_o our_o public_a prayer_n which_o relate_v to_o they_o and_o thereupon_o we_o may_v think_v it_o unlawful_a to_o say_v some_o word_n or_o at_o least_o to_o take_v they_o in_o the_o same_o sense_n that_o other_o common_o do_v and_o so_o make_v a_o schism_n and_o when_o there_o be_v a_o division_n of_o the_o church_n
