destroy_v they_o for_o it_o be_v very_o like_a that_o many_o promoter_n of_o schism_n and_o faction_n may_v intend_v well_o but_o we_o must_v not_o trust_v to_o the_o goodness_n of_o our_o meaning_n

the_o text_n say_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o every_o one_o that_o kill_v you_o will_v think_v that_o he_o do_v god_n service_n if_o so_o then_o take_v we_o heed_n of_o all_o gross_a mistake_n in_o

all_o this_o do_v testify_v that_o both_o in_o their_o religion_n and_o in_o their_o manner_n they_o be_v too_o like_o the_o pagan_n the_o truth_n be_v the_o present_a religion_n of_o the_o roman_a
