abundant_o confirm_v it_o from_o their_o numerous_a write_n and_o profession_n in_o this_o kind_n the_o main_a drift_n of_o all_o or_o most_o of_o they_o as_o to_o this_o particular_a be_v to_o

but_o he_o do_v and_o must_v actual_o forfeit_v his_o duty_n to_o the_o church_n and_o the_o king_n nor_o be_v this_o any_o more_o than_o what_o be_v agreeable_a to_o former_a and_o present_a experience_n that_o they_o have_v be_v the_o constant_a disturber_n of_o our_o israel_n be_v i_o think_v already_o manifest_a and_o may_v be_v more_o large_o prove_v be_v there_o occasion_n for_o it_o and_o look_v now_o into_o the_o very_a late_a rebellion_n and_o then_o tell_v i_o what_o you_o think_v of_o it_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o pure_o and_o sole_o fanatical_a that_o the_o several_a sect_n

and_o have_v i_o be_v one_o of_o the_o party_n or_o separatist_n i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o i_o can_v have_v act_v congruous_o to_o my_o own_o pretence_n or_o that_o schism_n or_o separation_n have_v

but_o do_v this_o need_n further_o proof_n it_o be_v too_o plain_a and_o manifest_a from_o their_o continue_a impenitency_n which_o be_v our_o three_o particular_a which_o be_v too_o evident_a

this_o be_v too_o great_a a_o sign_n of_o a_o impenitent_a or_o relentless_a heart_n for_o the_o true_a and_o sincere_a penitent_a be_v more_o industrious_a to_o discover_v and_o aggravate_v than_o
