if_o so_o what_o particular_a in_o religion_n it_o be_v that_o you_o will_v have_v we_o join_v with_o you_o to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v one_o of_o the_o member_n that_o think_v himself_o the_o

ask_v why_o do_v you_o then_o pretend_v it_o to_o be_v so_o unto_o the_o people_n his_o answer_n be_v we_o shall_v never_o else_o win_v the_o people_n to_o we_o well_o but_o what_o be_v it_o then_o reply_v the_o doctor_n be_v it_o the_o abolition_n of_o episcopacy_n that_o you_o so_o contest_v about_o you_o know_v god_n have_v sufficient_o manifest_v his_o approbation_n of_o this_o government_n by_o his_o so_o abundant_a blessing_n of_o this_o church_n and_o nation_n under_o it_o none_o in_o the_o world_n have_v thrive_v better_a nor_o so_o well_o under_o any_o as_o we_o have_v do_v under_o this_o you_o know_v also_o that_o the_o king_n have_v give_v you_o leave_v to_o punish_v or_o to_o see_v punish_v in_o a_o regular_a way_n all_o person_n that_o have_v miscarry_v themselves_o in_o

a_o thing_n of_o that_o grand_a necessity_n as_o to_o imbroile_v this_o whole_a nation_n and_o kingdom_n in_o its_o own_o blood_n the_o member_n be_v convince_v also_o by_o these_o reason_n of_o
