and_o we_o shall_v quick_o dispute_v ourselves_o out_o of_o our_o godliness_n and_o out_o of_o our_o religion_n and_o that_o which_o be_v yet_o more_o sad_a be_v there_o not_o some_o that_o preach_v

blood_n be_v there_o not_o some_o that_o teach_v that_o god_n see_v no_o sin_n in_o his_o elect_a child_n and_o that_o the_o very_a being_n of_o their_o sin_n be_v abolish_v out_o of_o god_n sight_n

never_o chastise_v his_o people_n for_o any_o sin_n no_o not_o with_o a_o fatherly_a chastisement_n and_o that_o a_o unbelieving_a and_o a_o impenitent_a sinner_n be_v as_o actual_o pardon_v in_o

and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o more_o afraid_a of_o this_o cup_n then_o of_o the_o other_o more_o afraid_a of_o these_o division_n then_o of_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o enemy_n for_o
