jerusalem_n indeed_o be_v the_o place_n appoint_v and_o particular_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n be_v enjoin_v and_o make_v obligatory_a but_o now_o those_o time_n be_v past_a all_o rite_n type_n and_o

too_o much_o and_o have_v foolish_a and_o unprofitable_a contention_n for_o the_o same_o and_o mind_n sincerity_n too_o little_a therefore_o i_o assign_v and_o appoint_v you_o no_o particular_a

and_o then_o this_o text_n if_o not_o due_o temper_v and_o moderate_v be_v sufficient_a to_o set_v all_o christendom_n together_o by_o the_o ear_n for_o every_o party_n and_o sect_n think_v their_o

better_o be_v in_o jest_n than_o so_o extravagant_o earnest_a therefore_o this_o earnestness_n must_v be_v limit_v so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o prejudicial_a to_o ourselves_o or_o destructive_a to_o

who_o too_o indulgent_a nature_n and_o tender_a heart_n be_v but_o too_o much_o grieve_v to_o see_v her_o child_n out_o of_o humour_n and_o be_v almost_o ready_a to_o sacrifice_v their_o future_a
