of_o the_o thing_n and_o to_o be_v plain_a with_o you_o gentlemen_z there's-no_a body_n so_o much_o concern_v to_o say_v amen_o to_o sir_n john_n prayer_n that_o god_n will_v forgive_v those_o who_o

such_o a_o member_n as_o you_o have_v make_v sir_n john_n appear_v to_o be_v and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n you_o have_v do_v that_o which_o you_o call_v your_o church_n the_o great_a injury_n in_o

aught_o to_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n commission_n to_o the_o sovereign_n both_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n be_v to_o encourage_v the_o good_a and_o to_o punish_v and_o be_v

the_o good_a and_o declare_v that_o he_o will_v continue_v to_o do_v so_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o in_o so_o do_v he_o neither_o act_n by_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o people_n and_o that_o when_o they_o resist_v he_o as_o act_v thus_o they_o do_v not_o resist_v authority_n but_o only_o the_o extravagancy_n of_o a_o usurper_n and_o that_o if_o god_n shall_v
