in_o these_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a cause_n to_o take_v up_o arm_n and_o rebel_n against_o the_o state_n and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o church_n nothing_o can_v be_v a_o sufficient_a cause_n but_o where_o something_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v impose_v as_o a_o condition_n of_o communion_n for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o impose_v on_o i_o i_o may_v

yet_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o rebel_n for_o this_o only_o if_o it_o be_v impose_v on_o i_o i_o ought_v to_o refuse_v it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o church_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n for_o

that_o can_v be_v infer_v from_o thence_o be_v that_o those_o that_o scruple_n that_o oath_n shall_v not_o be_v churchwarden_n it_o be_v not_o impose_v as_o a_o condition_n upon_o any_o and_o there_o
