may_v he_o blame_v his_o own_o church_n âf_n engl._n more_o than_o we_o see_v it_o differ_v from_o those_o church_n in_o mâe_n and_o weighty_a point_n than_o we_o do_v yea_o it_o hate_v persecute_v

from_o the_o church_n in_o few_o thing_n it_o be_v more_o likely_a mr_n bern._n and_o his_o brethren_n be_v not_o in_o the_o truth_n because_o they_o differ_v from_o they_o in_o many_o wherefore_o let_v he_o first_o pull_v the_o beam_n out_o of_o his_o own_o eye_n again_o where_o he_o stand_v upon_o the_o hard_a word_n which_o some_o of_o we_o have_v utter_v of_o the_o presbytery_n etc._n
