confession_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o be_v not_o much_o more_o general_a than_o the_o disavow_v and_o reject_v of_o the_o practice_n for_o how_o many_o be_v there_o which_o hold_v off_o and_o almost_o take_v a_o pride_n to_o be_v unstayed_a in_o the_o matter_n of_o religion_n how_o many_o which_o by_o pretence_n of_o disagreement_n in_o the_o church_n can_v tell_v what_o to_o make_v of_o
