can_v but_o judge_v that_o they_o design_v nothing_o less_o than_o my_o ruin_n in_o revenge_n for_o that_o service_n i_o do_v my_o country_n in_o discover_v their_o more_o than_o abominable_a and_o

of_o our_o great_a lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o they_o that_o can_v conform_v for_o christ_n sake_n do_v not_o persecute_v their_o brethren_n who_o through_o tenderness_n of_o conscience_n

now_o man_n that_o be_v so_o unite_v together_o against_o god_n and_o all_o goodness_n our_o religion_n life_n and_o liberty_n must_v be_v root_v out_o and_o not_o suffer_v to_o continue_v among_o a_o
