which_o be_v to_o disengage_a and_o free_a all_o honest_a person_n such_o as_o be_v the_o abovementioned_a doctor_n from_o the_o corrupt_a party_n of_o their_o church_n to_o join_v and_o confederate_n

the_o second_o to_o subvert_v the_o government_n and_o utter_o to_o abolish_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o name_n among_o christian_n the_o aversion_n i_o say_v they_o have_v to_o hearken_v to_o any_o term_n of_o reconciliation_n that_o this_o aversion_n have_v especial_o appear_v in_o the_o corrupt-party_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o have_v evermore_o turn_v a_o deaf_a

of_o government_n in_o the_o last_o perfection_n a_o masterpiece_n that_o can_v be_v make_v better_a and_o which_o of_o all_o the_o government_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n come_v near_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o government_n which_o the_o nonconformist_n will_v have_v have_v no_o agreement_n or_o affinity_n with_o that_o of_o the_o church_n of_o
