the_o scruple_n and_o suspicion_n of_o private_a christian_n concern_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o action_n require_v by_o their_o superior_n can_v warrant_v their_o separation_n because_o their_o

only_o groundless_a fear_n and_o scruple_n concern_v some_o circumstance_n annex_v to_o a_o know_a duty_n it_o be_v the_o sense_n even_o of_o our_o nonconformist_n that_o if_o we_o can_v upon_o
