and_o action_n of_o our_o fellow_n christian_n who_o pretend_v to_o nothing_o extraordinary_a there_o a_o strict_a enquiry_n be_v not_o necessary_a there_o charity_n shall_v bear_v the_o sway_n and_o then_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v and_o hope_v the_o best_a provide_v we_o do_v not_o destroy_v the_o notion_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a nor_o yet_o recommend_v a_o evil_a action_n out_o of_o a_o

and_o it_o may_v be_v lawful_a for_o the_o most_o devout_a christian_a sometime_o to_o go_v to_o law_n but_o general_o law_n suit_n be_v scandalous_a and_o be_v very_o unsuitable_a to_o that_o piety_n
