i_o think_v that_o those_o warm_a zealot_n who_o entertain_v their_o auditory_n with_o invective_n against_o the_o toleration_n do_v not_o only_o slight_v the_o authority_n of_o king_n and_o

because_o she_o get_v more_o by_o that_o than_o ever_o she_o do_v by_o violence_n for_o it_o be_v visible_a that_o our_o parochial_a church_n be_v full_a now_o than_o when_o we_o compel_v man_n to_o

half_o the_o difference_n which_o there_o be_v in_o the_o church_n if_o word_n which_o have_v not_o all_o of_o they_o determinate_a and_o distinct_a idea_n if_o term_n of_o art_n and_o equivocal_a phrase_n be_v expound_v and_o sixth_o by_o exact_a and_o plain_a definition_n foreign_a protestant_n be_v apt_a to_o suspect_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n favour_v the_o doctrine_n of_o

when_o the_o church_n avow_v that_o she_o do_v not_o use_v the_o word_n real_a in_o that_o sense_n but_o mean_v only_o a_o spiritual_a presence_n apprehend_v and_o enjoy_v by_o faith_n the_o

therefore_o public_o profess_v their_o agreement_n with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n on_o this_o and_o other_o dispute_v article_n i_o ought_v not_o in_o reason_n but_o to_o look_v upon_o they_o
