the_o nation_n do_v too_o much_o abound_v with_o such_o pollution_n already_o and_o it_o will_v be_v the_o joy_n of_o all_o good_a man_n to_o see_v they_o more_o severe_o curb_v by_o authority_n not_o a_o liberty_n to_o do_v my_o neighbour_n any_o civil_a injury_n by_o no_o mean_n no_o man_n may_v pretend_v conscience_n to_o dampnifie_v his_o neighbour_n either_o in_o his_o person_n his_o estate_n

and_o if_o the_o government_n i_o be_o under_o shall_v deny_v i_o the_o liberty_n of_o my_o worship_n and_o shall_v cause_v i_o to_o suffer_v on_o that_o score_n although_o this_o be_v a_o evil_n in_o

christian_n mention_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n yet_o i_o neither_o judge_n nor_o condemn_v those_o that_o be_v who_o be_v conscientious_o concern_v therein_o do_v in_o sincerity_n and_o

often_o pray_v they_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o the_o sin_n of_o pride_n and_o yet_o live_v in_o it_o from_o vain_a glory_n and_o yet_o abound_v in_o it_o from_o hypocrisy_n and_o yet_o open_o

when_o you_o contrive_v and_o frame_v that_o spiteful_a epistle_n can_v the_o most_o malicious_a among_o mortal_n i_o have_v almost_o say_v among_o devil_n express_v great_a hatred_n and_o malice_n
