without_o do_v any_o violencce_n as_o we_o hear_v and_o we_o do_v believe_v it_o because_o we_o have_v a_o more_o sure_a word_n of_o prophecy_n than_o do_v use_v to_o proceed_v out_o of_o their_o

of_o it_o for_o the_o tempter_n be_v very_o strong_a within_o and_o without_o so_o that_o i_o take_v little_a rest_n for_o many_o day_n and_o night_n see_v the_o great_a danger_n it_o will_v plunge_v

be_v set_v at_o liberty_n we_o know_v the_o cross_n be_v one_o but_o we_o know_v not_o what_o the_o other_o be_v the_o next_o time_n the_o consul_n come_v he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o inquisitor_n

of_o god_n may_v suffer_v for_o the_o same_o thing_n no_o god_n forbid_v then_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o send_v daniel_n baker_n who_o in_o obedience_n to_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n do_v offer_v up_o body_n for_o body_n yea_o life_n &_o all_o for_o our_o liberty_n but_o can_v not_o be_v hear_v but_o the_o inquisitor_n say_v if_o any_o will_v engage_v for_o the_o payment_n of_o three_o or_o four_o thousand_o dollar_n to_o be_v pay_v if_o ever_o we_o come_v there_o again_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o liberty_n but_o otherwise_o we_o must_v die_v in_o the_o prison_n for_o that_o be_v

to_o engage_v for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v have_v our_o liberty_n but_o the_o merchant_n send_v word_n they_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o answer_v their_o unreasonable_a demand_n for_o the_o payment_n of_o so_o many_o thousand_o dollar_n if_o in_o case_n we_o return_v thither_o again_o there_o be_v many_o that_o do_v seek_v for_o our_o liberty_n that_o be_v not_o of_o we_o because_o they_o know_v our_o cruel_a and_o strait_a bondage_n and_o terrible_a affliction_n and_o be_v willing_a to_o engage_v what_o be_v reason_n but_o because_o our_o just_a and_o wise_a god_n will_v make_v his_o power_n

almost_o four_o year_n for_o conscience-sake_n and_o we_o know_v they_o have_v no_o peace_n in_o our_o suffering_n so_o the_o inquisitor_n be_v very_o courteous_a to_o we_o and_o promise_v our_o liberty_n in_o a_o few_o day_n and_o he_o say_v he_o will_v send_v for_o the_o consul_n and_o get_v he_o to_o engage_v for_o five_o hundred_o dollar_n to_o be_v pay_v for_o we_o if_o ever_o we_o
