and_o you_o who_o be_v very_o forward_o in_o cause_v other_o to_o suffer_v for_o their_o not_o concur_v with_o you_o have_v not_o the_o confidence_n to_o suffer_v for_o it_o yourselves_o oh_o be_v

constitution_n of_o the_o so_o call_v church_n now_o set_v up_o which_o you_o vow_v against_o and_o do_v you_o stick_v to_o your_o liberty_n you_o ought_v to_o have_v meet_v together_o to_o worship_n

of_o that_o we_o covenant_v against_o only_o it_o be_v lay_v on_o we_o to_o hear_v they_o and_o pay_v their_o stipend_n and_o we_o may_v do_v all_o this_o without_o own_v they_o and_o they_o shall_v

for_o your_o allege_v that_o you_o see_v not_o a_o clear_a and_o manifest_a call_n to_o suffering_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n so_o long_o as_o your_o mind_n be_v abroad_o wander_v from_o the_o just_a
