to_o which_o i_o say_v that_o christian_n ought_v to_o do_v not_o only_o this_o but_o more_o too_o so_o that_o christian_a duty_n terminate_v not_o here_o it_o be_v not_o confine_v to_o practical_a

be_v to_o show_v how_o unreasonable_a it_o be_v for_o this_o author_n to_o represent_v the_o nonconformist_n as_o such_o silly_a sectary_n because_o they_o haunt_v so_o wide_a a_o throat_n as_o he_o to_o swallow_v what_o they_o can_v digest_v and_o consequent_o that_o such_o of_o they_o as_o dissent_n out_o of_o pure_a conscience_n though_o they_o suffer_v such_o penalty_n as_o this_o gentleman_n

discovery_n of_o it_o in_o order_n to_o his_o full_a and_o firm_a union_n as_o he_o baptise_n his_o pamphlet_n how_o can_v he_o clear_v himself_o of_o unfaithfulness_n if_o not_o hypocrisy_n in_o not_o begin_v this_o bless_a achievement_n soon_o that_o he_o may_v prevent_v the_o jealousy_n of_o the_o government_n and_o the_o suffering_n of_o so_o many_o poor_a family_n as_o he_o talk_v of_o but_o if_o he_o be_v but_o a_o new_a proselyte_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o be_v convert_v on_o a_o sudden_a as_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n people_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o suspect_v he_o because_o he_o choose_v a_o time_n of_o suffer_v to_o forsake_v his_o old_a brethren_n and_o think_v he_o a_o temporizer_n so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n he_o will_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o

a_o spirit_n of_o meakness_n that_o it_o will_v better_o become_v he_o rather_o to_o exercise_v charity_n towards_o his_o forsake_a brethren_n if_o he_o have_v be_v a_o dissenter_n and_o since_o he_o
