mind_n your_o church-catechism_n propound_v this_o doctrine_n with_o a_o very_a become_a gravity_n and_o no_o man_n can_v deny_v this_o doctrine_n so_o propound_v but_o he_o must_v withal_o deny_v and_o reject_v plain_a scripture_n q._n in_o the_o first_o place_n then_o rehearse_v the_o article_n of_o thy_o belief_n a._n i_o believe_v in_o god_n etc._n etc._n q._n what_o do_v thou_o chief_o
