will_v be_v no_o comfort_n to_o suffer_v for_o that_o we_o have_v no_o command_n in_o the_o word_n for_o but_o in_o our_o apprehension_n much_o against_o it_o but_o although_o we_o shun_v that_o practice_n yet_o if_o we_o hold_v forth_o the_o word_n of_o life_n in_o word_n and_o conversation_n acknowledge_v the_o say_n and_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n and_o our_o brethren_n witness_v against_o
