in_o some_o of_o these_o their_o error_n and_o mistake_v 2._o that_o this_o may_v be_v not_o only_o among_o the_o more_o common_a sort_n of_o believer_n but_o even_o also_o among_o the_o most_o

that_o a_o concern_v truth_n anent_o the_o nature_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n wherein_o the_o disciple_n be_v mistake_v and_o wrong_a and_o if_o we_o speak_v of_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v not_o that_o of_o the_o father_n and_o other_o saint_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o bigamy_n and_o polygamy_n a_o concern_v thing_n yet_o all_o of_o they_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v right_a neither_o do_v they_o for_o any_o thing_n we_o know_v go_v against_o a_o explicit_a challenge_n of_o their_o conscience_n in_o that_o matter_n 4_o it_o be_v not_o one_o or_o two_o but_o many_o that_o may_v be_v under_o
