they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o although_o one_o man_n have_v labour_v more_o than_o another_o and_o one_o have_v plant_v christianity_n among_o the_o heathen_n another_o water_v it_o the_o three_o cleanse_v and_o refine_v it_o yet_o they_o must_v not_o hate_v one_o another_o much_o less_o command_v their_o disciple_n and_o follower_n to_o kill_v one_o another_o or_o although_o they_o now_o and_o then_o yea_o for_o the_o most_o part_n find_v but_o false_a apostle_n yea_o many_o wolf_n among_o the_o sheep_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o whole_a apostleship_n and_o
