i_o do_v know_v there_o be_v a_o few_o certain_a person_n in_o the_o world_n more_o sounde_o live_v in_o the_o society_n of_o our_o enemy_n which_o do_v lament_v the_o wilful_a boldness_n of_o some_o

a_o godly_a mind_n &_o of_o one_o which_o think_v of_o his_o soul_n health_n 11._o and_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o christ_n too_o seek_v forth_o which_o be_v the_o true_a church_n that_o he_o may_v

therefore_o think_v that_o this_o commandment_n be_v but_o of_o small_a effect_n too_o say_v if_o any_o man_n shall_v teach_v any_o other_o doctrine_n let_v he_o be_v hold_v as_o accurse_v 1._o gal._n they_o be_v not_o bishop_n they_o be_v not_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n auditor_n but_o the_o enemy_n of_o christ_n who_o since_o they_o be_v thorough_o move_v with_o fury_n do_v not_o think_v
