of_o christian_a liberty_n be_v sufficient_o and_o full_o publish_v by_o they_o and_o yet_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n put_v between_o the_o weak_a jew_n and_o such_o among_o we_o who_o will_v sometime_o pretend_v weakness_n because_o the_o jew_n have_v direct_a command_n from_o god_n for_o that_o which_o they_o do_v but_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o ground_n upon_o but_o

reason_n ground_v upon_o the_o word_n if_o he_o will_v still_o be_v offend_v then_o it_o be_v not_o weakness_n but_o perverseness_n and_o peevishness_n such_o be_v not_o a_o little_a one_o 18.6_o

and_o their_o fashion_n shall_v be_v offend_v shall_v the_o prince_n and_o noble_n abstain_v from_o such_o apparel_n for_o his_o offence_n no_o but_o he_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v correct_v and_o
