the_o most_o part_n appear_v be_v clothe_v in_o white_a garment_n i_o pray_v you_o how_o shall_v we_o debar_v the_o church_n of_o this_o liberty_n that_o it_o can_v not_o signify_v some_o good_a

i_o let_v minister_n of_o the_o church_n declare_v themselves_o to_o be_v angel_n &_o not_o represent_v angel_n by_o signification_n but_o paul_n the_o apostle_n may_v so_o have_v ben_fw-mi answer_v

of_o they_o that_o be_v present_a be_v turn_v clean_o away_o from_o think_v of_o serious_a matter_n because_o of_o the_o diversity_n of_o apparel_n peradventure_o every_o man_n will_v not_o grant_v
