any_o other_o to_o be_v such_o beside_o themselves_o hence_o on_o all_o occasion_n they_o will_v appear_v most_o vigorous_a and_o active_a for_o the_o prosecution_n and_o suppression_n of_o papist_n

all_o this_o zeal_n against_o the_o papist_n they_o profess_v to_o proceed_v from_o a_o just_a hatred_n of_o their_o disloyal_a principle_n which_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o civil-government_n

at_o large_a and_o may_v signify_v any_o thing_n and_o comprehend_v all_o that_o be_v not_o papist_n whatever_o they_o be_v for_o but_o the_o doctrine_n and_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n of_o
