long_o fear_v those_o blasphemer_n of_o the_o saint_n for_o now_o without_o doubt_n their_o heart_n be_v break_v but_o to_o come_v to_o your_o qu●re_n concern_v the_o duration_n of_o this_o grace_n

of_o peace_n and_o unity_n among_o we_o nor_o need_v you_o fear_v that_o any_o congregation_n will_v be_v exclude_v because_o it_o frustrate_v the_o very_a intention_n of_o the_o favour_n by_o
