can_v but_o when_o there_o be_v a_o act_n of_o toleration_n for_o they_o who_o take_v care_n to_o heal_v they_o second_o when_o state_n will_v make_v act_n for_o toleration_n in_o matter_n of_o

take_v from_o person_n that_o appear_v to_o be_v godly_a that_o be_v because_o such_o person_n be_v look_v upon_o as_o godly_a therefore_o what_o opinion_n they_o hold_v shall_v be_v tolerate_v because_o david_n a_o godly_a man_n fall_v into_o adultery_n therefore_o tolerate_v that_o sin_n may_v not_o a_o man_n that_o be_v godly_a at_o lest_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o fall_n into_o such_o a_o

to_o such_o error_n in_o judgement_n as_o he_o have_v leave_v to_o error_n in_o practice_n also_o may_v not_o godly_a man_n be_v true_a and_o blamable_a cause_n of_o great_a schism_n but_o yet_o because_o godly_a they_o must_v not_o be_v indulge_v four_o if_o because_o argument_n can_v be_v bring_v to_o prove_v a_o opinion_n therefore_o such_o a_o opinion_n must_v be_v tolerate_v than_o what_o heresy_n must_v not_o be_v tolerate_v if_o a_o man_n will_v listen_v to_o his_o own_o atheistical_a heart_n and_o carnal_a reason_n there_o be_v those_o who_o can_v bring_v argument_n very_o
