it_o 2._o upon_o such_o a_o review_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o great_a reason_n that_o all_o person_n who_o officiate_n in_o the_o church_n be_v not_o only_o tie_v to_o a_o constant_a use_n of_o it_o

or_o any_o sense_n of_o the_o danger_n wherein_o the_o protestant_a cause_n now_o stand_v will_v hearty_o join_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n to_o increase_v her_o number_n and_o
