every_o 21._o act_n 15._o 21._o sabbath_n day_n which_o he_o speak_v in_o that_o very_a council_n so_o we_o ourselves_o at_o our_o table_n forbear_v the_o set_n on_o of_o certain_a meat_n which_o ourselves_o like_v because_o they_o will_v be_v offensive_a to_o some_o of_o our_o invite_a guest_n as_o swine_n flesh_n cheese_n and_o such_o like_a yet_o this_o discipline_n of_o abstain_v from_o

apparent_a of_o occasion_v a_o schism_n or_o division_n between_o the_o convert_v jew_n and_o the_o christian_a gentile_n 2._o this_o discipline_n do_v as_o well_o become_v the_o mildness_n of_o
