cause_n be_v at_o trial_n but_o what_o cause_n of_o he_o be_v it_o that_o be_v particular_o mean_v in_o this_o place_n for_o if_o it_o be_v god_n it_o be_v worth_a the_o know_v what_o ere_o it_o be_v

23._o needs_o have_v one_o common_a cause_n one_o cause_n and_o you_o can_v corrupt_v the_o church_n in_o her_o truth_n or_o persecute_v she_o for_o it_o nor_o distract_v she_o from_o her_o unity_n nor_o impoverish_v and_o abase_v she_o in_o her_o mean_n but_o god_n suffer_v in_o the_o oppression_n nay_o more_o no_o man_n can_v wilful_o corrupt_v the_o church_n in_o her_o doctrine_n but_o he_o

be_v to_o make_v their_o cause_n all_o one_o with_o go_n and_o that_o be_v do_v by_o uphold_v he_o and_o conform_v they_o our_o safety_n then_o be_v when_o our_o cause_n be_v one_o with_o god_n our_o
