before_o he_o change_v have_v he_o no_o friend_n no_o book_n no_o mean_n to_o rectify_v his_o mistake_v must_v he_o needs_o leave_v one_o church_n and_o go_v to_o another_o before_o he_o understand_v either_o if_o this_o be_v a_o true_a account_n of_o himself_o it_o be_v but_o a_o bad_a account_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o change_n iii_o the_o account_n he_o give_v of_o the_o other_o part_n of_o his_o character_n afford_v as_o little_a satisfaction_n for_o although_o in_o the_o general_n it_o be_v well_o that_o he_o pretend_v to_o keep_v to_o a_o rule_n 1._o he_o show_v no_o authority_n he_o have_v to_o interpret_v that_o rule_n in_o his_o own_o sense_n now_o several_a of_o his_o representation_n depend_v upon_o his_o own_o private_a sense_n and_o opinion_n against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o many_o other_o as_o zealous_a for_o the_o church_n as_o himself_o and_o what_o reason_n have_v we_o to_o adhere_v to_o his_o representation_n rather_o than_o to_o they_o as_o for_o instance_n
