will_v make_v a_o bargain_n with_o they_o and_o give_v it_o under_o their_o hand_n in_o writing_n to_z 〈…〉_o and_o so_o deny_v they_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n which_o they_o seem_v to_o conted_a for_o in_o word_n but_o in_o work_n they_o deny_v it_o to_o other_o they_o have_v lose_v the_o power_n which_o shall_v make_v way_n for_o their_o testimony_n now_o they_o will_v come_v in_o upon_o
