of_o the_o court_n that_o you_o three_o all_o have_v each_o of_o you_o his_o right_a ear_n cut_v off_o by_o the_o hangman_n then_o we_o see_v their_o unjust_a proceed_n against_o we_o and_o that_o

that_o they_o will_v declare_v to_o the_o people_n what_o their_o sin_n be_v they_o say_v you_o deny_v magistrate_n and_o minister_n reply_v nothing_o of_o god_n in_o they_o we_o deny_v and_o say_v you_o hold_v forth_o a_o man_n be_v to_o keep_v his_o own_o house_n why_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v drive_v out_o of_o our_o own_o house_n but_o to_o that_o they_o give_v they_o no_o answer_n but_o
