long_o ago_o sure_o the_o bitterness_n of_o death_n be_v past_a for_o when_o he_o be_v bring_v forth_o to_o be_v stone_v he_o be_v rescue_v by_o prelatical_a power_n and_o his_o sermon_n for_o which_o

when_o do_v your_o consistory_n that_o pretend_v to_o have_v the_o key_n that_o open_v and_o shut_v heaven_n so_o shut_v the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n against_o such_o sinner_n as_o that_o a_o silver_n

our_o own_o way_n than_o they_o and_o think_v it_o our_o duty_n to_o separate_v from_o these_o way_n and_o opinion_n rather_o than_o embrace_v they_o yet_o far_o we_o be_v from_o any_o thought_n of_o

position_n so_o far_o as_o to_o hazard_v the_o archprelates_n frown_n in_o the_o opposition_n have_v give_v sufficient_a answer_n to_o the_o remonstrant_a we_o think_v it_o not_o unfit_a to_o

when_o we_o never_o tell_v he_o so_o and_o why_o do_v he_o not_o else_o apply_v himself_o to_o answer_v but_o like_o a_o socratical_a disputant_n put_v off_o the_o question_n with_o question_n know_v
