and_o i_o be_o as_o certain_a that_o love_n and_o unity_n be_v his_o cause_n as_o i_o be_o that_o he_o be_v the_o christ_n and_o shall_v i_o think_v the_o good_a thought_n and_o word_n of_o some_o of_o his_o froward_a child_n too_o great_a a_o matter_n to_o forsake_v and_o lose_v they_o themselves_o think_v that_o we_o shall_v rather_o suffer_v a_o prison_n or_o death_n then_o join_v with_o

no_o sober_a a_o man_n rise_v up_o to_o defend_v dividing-principle_n and_o i_o be_v glad_a that_o in_o a_o age_n of_o such_o temptation_n he_o have_v no_o more_o approver_n among_o the_o minister_n when_o i_o have_v answer_v that_o libel_n he_o send_v forth_o another_o which_o instead_o of_o profess_v repentance_n do_v double_a the_o number_n of_o his_o untruth_n and_o cast_v out_o more_o of_o
