the_o old_a episcopal_a party_n as_o i_o say_v in_o doctrine_n agree_v with_o the_o nonconformist_a and_o hold_v that_o doctrine_n that_o now_o we_o find_v in_o the_o article_n and_o homily_n and_o

of_o the_o transmarine_a church_n to_o renounce_v he_o and_o avoid_v communion_n with_o his_o church_n as_o leprous_a and_o unfit_a for_o their_o communion_n but_o the_o new_a episcopal_a divine_n
