as_o we_o have_v opportunity_n let_v we_o do_v good_a unto_o all_o man_n especial_o unto_o they_o that_o be_v of_o the_o household_n of_o faith_n i_o have_v before_o say_v that_o by_o those_o of_o

desire_v it_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o the_o jew_n heretofore_o and_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v not_o in_o proportion_n apply_v it_o to_o ourselves_o now_o that_o he_o
