church_n of_o christ_n be_v and_o as_o god_n people_n be_v because_o the_o law_n and_o rule_n by_o which_o they_o walk_v do_v threaten_v nothing_o but_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n to_o all_o those_o that_o walk_v in_o other_o way_n other_o people_n in_o the_o several_a way_n they_o walk_v in_o if_o you_o let_v they_o alone_o in_o their_o way_n they_o will_v allow_v you_o to_o promise_v yourself_o

damn_v and_o destroy_v eternal_o and_o so_o they_o vex_v they_o and_o therefore_o one_o note_n well_o that_o when_o tiberius_n the_o emperor_n of_o rome_n have_v hear_v of_o the_o miracle_n of_o
