sure_o we_o be_v some_o have_v be_v imprison_v some_o banish_v that_o plead_v religion_n and_o mere_a conscience_n and_o be_v not_o otherwise_o disturber_n of_o the_o civil_a peace_n than_o the_o

if_o old-england_n be_v say_v to_o persecute_v for_o suppress_v sect_n and_o opinion_n because_o threaten_v the_o truth_n and_o civil_a peace_n why_o may_v not_o the_o same_o name_n be_v put_v upon_o
