light_n and_o the_o author_n of_o every_o good_a gift_n and_o perfect_a donation_n but_o it_o be_v chief_o as_o you_o be_v clothe_v with_o authority_n and_o assemble_v in_o parliament_n that_o we_o

who_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v for_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o cause_n which_o evil_a be_v so_o increase_v that_o excommunicate_a person_n themselves_o be_v not_o avoid_v it_o wound_v we_o
