out_o of_o the_o church_n i_o can_v tell_v brother_n what_o you_o hold_v in_o this_o point_n i_o think_v i_o have_v disturb_v your_o sense_n do_v you_o think_v that_o the_o magistrate_n may_v

before_o you_o hold_v it_o lawful_a for_o the_o magistrate_n to_o maim_v or_o deform_v the_o body_n because_o whatsoover_n he_o pull_v in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o true_a and_o right_a member_n must_v
