such_o as_o have_v ever_o in_o their_o mouth_n god_n be_v merciful_a and_o will_v pardon_v i_o how_o can_v this_o be_v say_v i_o that_o these_o people_n shall_v be_v damn_a when_o condemnation_n be_v

this_o be_v their_o answer_n god_n be_v merciful_a and_o will_v not_o damn_v a_o soul_n for_o so_o small_a a_o matter_n but_o let_v they_o talk_v of_o mercy_n as_o they_o please_v so_o long_o as_o
