upon_o the_o conscience_n and_o the_o sword_n can_v reach_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o desirable_a thing_n to_o have_v repentance_n so_o obscure_v by_o mere_a force_a confession_n that_o you_o can_v

you_o blame_v the_o magistrate_n for_o give_v so_o much_o liberty_n and_o be_v it_o not_o long_o of_o yourselves_o that_o he_o do_v so_o you_o will_v scarce_o believe_v that_o such_o enemy_n to_o

happy_a church_n and_o commonwealth_n the_o same_o i_o mean_v also_o along_o of_o the_o course_n of_o schoolmaster_n to_o their_o scholar_n but_o when_o language_n and_o philosophy_n have_v almost_o
