3._o it_o be_v likewise_o considerable_a what_o a_o entire_a and_o divide_a body_n they_o keep_v themselves_o for_o few_o or_o none_o of_o they_o marry_v with_o any_o of_o we_o but_o only_o one_o

be_v a_o kind_n of_o another_o commonwealth_n within_o this_o and_o so_o ready_a for_o that_o which_o i_o hold_v not_o fit_a to_o express_v any_o far_o 4._o it_o be_v likewise_o of_o great_a

6._o last_o of_o all_o i_o think_v it_o very_o just_a not_o to_o suffer_v french_a or_o dutch_a church_n differ_v from_o we_o in_o discipline_n to_o be_v otherwise_o or_o long_o tolerate_v in_o any_o
