god_n either_o in_o heart_n tongue_n or_o hand_n they_o go_v against_o knowledge_n &_o so_o consequent_o against_o conscience_n for_o conscience_n follow_v the_o light_n of_o the_o understanding_n

be_v manifest_a that_o conscience_n compare_v a_o man_n thought_n by_o the_o rule_n as_o well_o as_o his_o word_n and_o deed_n conscience_n keep_v court_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o therefore_o can_v
