it_o so_o fit_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o miss_n here_o to_o remember_v thou_o of_o the_o very_a same_o conclusion_n and_o sure_o all_o true_a christian_n and_o all_o true_a english_a subject_n ought_v to_o believe_v and_o may_v well_o know_v that_o these_o be_v very_o true_a and_o undoubted_a conclusion_n first_o that_o every_o papist_n that_o be_v to_o say_v every_o one_o that_o true_a
