i_o can_v dwell_v upon_o to_o admire_v but_o i_o be_o call_v now_o away_o from_o that_o admiration_n yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o must_v desire_v leave_n to_o wonder_v at_o another_o prodigy_n

only_a true_a throne_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o they_o can_v demonstrate_v all_o the_o lineament_n of_o their_o discipline_n and_o government_n to_o be_v true_o and_o natural_o derive_v from_o the_o pure_a fountain_n of_o god_n word_n otherwise_o methinks_v such_o tyrannous_a imposition_n shall_v rather_o affrighten_v than_o satisfy_v man_n conscience_n and_o make_v they_o disclaim_v such_o a_o religion_n for_o a_o monster_n than_o accept_v it_o for_o a_o well-shaped_a child_n of_o the_o church_n be_v it_o reason_n for_o i_o to_o run_v out_o of_o my_o wit_n to_o satisfy_v a_o company_n of_o unreasonable_a man_n meet_v together_o and_o shall_v i_o lay_v the_o head_n of_o my_o faith_n upon_o the_o block_n of_o any_o assembly_n to_o be_v cut_v and_o mangle_v into_o what_o form_n and_o fashion_n they_o shall_v please_v god_n forbid_v but_o yet_o i_o hold_v it_o much_o more_o madness_n to_o persecute_v any_o man_n because_o he_o be_v not_o of_o my_o opinion_n i_o may_v as_o well_o sure_a quarrel_n with_o those_o that_o resemble_v i_o not_o in_o outward_a complexion_n for_o since_o we_o lose_v perfection_n in_o adam_n whatever_o knowledge_n we_o attain_v to_o now_o be_v either_o moral_a by_o the_o improve_n of_o those_o natural_a endowment_n god_n have_v give_v we_o or_o else_o divine_a which_o come_v by_o a_o immediate_a influence_n from_o heaven_n upon_o the_o soul_n therefore_o when_o we_o see_v any_o weak_a in_o judgement_n than_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v look_v upon_o they_o rather_o as_o object_n of_o pity_n than_o punishment_n rather_o deplorable_a than_o damnable_a vain_a man_n what_o make_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o thou_o and_o thy_o weak_a brother_n be_v it_o not_o free_a grace_n for_o what_o have_v thou_o as_o the_o apostle_n demand_v of_o thou_o that_o thou_o do_v not_o receive_v and_o that_o god_n may_v reveal_v to_o he_o also_o in_o his_o due_a time_n be_v it_o not_o a_o barbarous_a thing_n for_o people_n to_o be_v strip_v of_o their_o life_n and_o good_n for_o difference_n in_o opinion_n only_o though_o our_o brethren_n still_o in_o christ_n nay_o to_o lie_v under_o so_o rigid_a a_o persecution_n that_o poor_a christian_n

course_n of_o cruel_a proceed_n in_o point_n of_o religion_n more_o against_o piety_n than_o common_a policy_n for_o first_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a to_o root_v out_o any_o religion_n by_o a_o
