not_o he_o have_v learn_v from_o his_o great_a lord_n and_o master_n who_o be_v kind_a unto_o all_o and_o who_o by_o his_o pattern_n and_o precept_n have_v make_v universal_a love_n the_o great_a

which_o be_v the_o blemish_n of_o some_o of_o all_o party_n that_o differ_v in_o some_o circumstantial_o of_o religion_n and_o worship_n he_o can_v not_o imagine_v why_o a_o difference_n in_o some_o

therefore_o he_o can_v bear_v a_o kind_a and_o friendly_a respect_n to_o other_o good_a man_n of_o other_o persuasion_n beside_o his_o own_o as_o he_o will_v hope_v for_o the_o like_a from_o they_o
