disorder_n no_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o difference_n schism_n church_n faction_n and_o half_a our_o ungodliness_n have_v come_v from_o the_o abuse_n of_o christian_a liberty_n in_o general_a and_o

the_o necessity_n of_o the_o former_a part_n carry_v i_o thus_o far_o i_o will_v only_o add_v a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o the_o abuse_n of_o the_o doctrine_n lentae_fw-la adversum_fw-la imperia_fw-la
