that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v a_o true_a church_n and_o all_o these_o that_o absent_a themselves_o be_v member_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v to_o be_v deal_v with_o as_o offend_a

man_n almost_o of_o reason_n and_o therefore_o the_o state_n can_v meddle_v where_o there_o be_v no_o civil_a law_n transgress_v therefore_o for_o answer_v to_o that_o objection_n suppose_v england_n
