to_o the_o trial_n of_o the_o scripture_n 6._o which_o the_o papist_n can_v abide_v this_o put_v they_o out_o of_o patience_n and_o drive_v they_o into_o vehement_a passion_n 7._o but_o let_v they_o

up_o even_o out_o of_o the_o father_n oversight_n watsoever_o seem_v to_o favour_v their_o error_n papist_n suck_v error_n from_o the_o father_n unsound_a speech_n and_o of_o a_o small_a error_n of_o the_o father_n do_v occasional_o procreate_v a_o great_a one_o 1._o as_o horseleech_n suck_v the_o naughty_a blood_n out_o of_o the_o vein_n so_o papist_n excerpt_v that_o which_o be_v most_o

3._o moreover_o the_o papist_n of_o a_o small_a error_n of_o the_o father_n may_v occasional_o procreate_v a_o great_a one_o as_o from_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a use_v in_o one_o respect_n by_o the_o
