the_o great_a success_n and_o late_o prosper_v on_o both_o side_n of_o divide_v love-destroying_a opinion_n which_o i_o foretell_v in_o my_o moral_a prognostication_n call_v loud_o for_o remedy_v

for_o oppose_v yea_o they_o will_v interpret_v some_o late_a law_n as_o if_o they_o have_v such_o a_o accuse_a sense_n and_o shall_v we_o by_o silence_n leave_v so_o many_o thousand_o under_o the_o

by_o glory_v in_o it_o to_o disgrace_v the_o suffering_n of_o those_o that_o suffer_v for_o truth_n and_o duty_n 23._o i_o see_v many_o servant_n and_o child_n tempt_v to_o disobey_v their_o parent_n

such_o or_o none_o 25._o i_o know_v that_o to_o drive_v all_o godly_a people_n from_o the_o parish-church_n and_o to_o cast_v out_o sound_a religion_n thence_o be_v the_o way_n to_o let_v in_o you_o

conform_v minister_n 26._o i_o have_v say_v after_o and_o oft_o that_o to_o separate_v from_o a_o liturgy_n as_o such_o be_v virtual_o to_o separate_v from_o all_o christ_n church_n on_o earth_n that_o be_v know_v by_o history_n for_o a_o thousand_o year_n and_o more_o and_o at_o this_o day_n to_o separate_v from_o almost_o all_o even_o the_o reform_a church_n and_o to_o make_v christ_n no_o

judgement_n entangle_v a_o man_n in_o sin_n whether_o he_o follow_v it_o or_o not_o and_o there_o be_v no_o possibility_n of_o avoid_v the_o sin_n but_o by_o use_v god_n help_n till_o his_o
