all_o thing_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o may_v be_v for_o the_o furtherance_n of_o man_n in_o follow_v the_o course_n of_o my_o gospel_n and_o will_v not_o permit_v the_o small_a tittle_n that_o may_v

more_o severe_o and_o sharp_o punish_v man_n for_o their_o transgression_n of_o these_o ceremony_n then_o of_o my_o gospel_n which_o be_v a_o very_a preposterous_a course_n and_o contrary_a to_o all_o
