you_o rhetoricate_a a_o little_a to_o make_v it_o more_o passable_a as_o in_o the_o commonwealth_n the_o welfare_n of_o it_o stand_v in_o the_o due_a balance_v of_o the_o liberty_n or_o privilege_n of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o magistrate_n so_o in_o the_o church_n the_o safety_n of_o it_o be_v in_o the_o right_a order_n of_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o brethren_n and_o
