even_o by_o a_o deceitful_a confound_a of_o whatsoev_a point_n of_o truth_n and_o whatsoev_a degree_n of_o division_n or_o dissension_n which_o must_v be_v wyselie_o and_o careful_o distinguish_v for_o there_o be_v many_o point_n of_o truth_n wherein_o diversity_n of_o judgement_n break_v not_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n yea_o and_o many_o division_n and_o dissension_n which_o yet_o
