the_o say_v minister_n will_v quit_v their_o employment_n for_o want_v of_o a_o livelihood_n and_o that_o the_o flock_n be_v leave_v without_o a_o shepherd_n will_v be_v either_o disperse_v or_o easy_o seduce_v a_o rare_a and_o precious_a liberty_n of_o conscience_n which_o deserve_v our_o immortal_a thanks_o the_o very_a sound_n of_o the_o title_n of_o a_o declaration_n for_o liberty_n of_o
