of_o all_o quarreller_n with_o divine_a truth_n they_o fall_v and_o dash_v themselves_o upon_o they_o and_o so_o eternal_o perish_v now_o these_o be_v strong_a and_o forcible_a reason_n to_o enforce_v

be_v wise_a he_o do_v as_o it_o be_v secret_o mourn_v at_o the_o apostasy_n and_o fewness_n of_o those_o that_o be_v true_o wise_a as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o have_v give_v you_o many_o
