truth_n that_o in_o a_o word_n all_o who_o be_v great_a rational_a and_o spiritual_a in_o the_o kingdom_n will_v give_v their_o heart_n and_o mind_n to_o the_o most_o just_a verity_n one_o may_v

but_o in_o a_o cessation_n of_o fight_n they_o speak_v together_o they_o hear_v one_o another_o they_o join_v their_o interest_n and_o every_o one_o have_v time_n to_o do_v justice_n to_o himself_o and_o other_o if_o we_o can_v have_v in_o france_n so_o sweet_a a_o way_n to_o perfect_a peace_n we_o shall_v see_v a_o miraculous_a effect_n and_o soon_o than_o one_o can_v believe_v of_o this_o

not_o part_v their_o heart_n they_o will_v unite_v their_o soul_n if_o a_o frenchman_n be_v in_o necessity_n of_o have_v a_o dispensation_n for_o marriage_n will_v he_o not_o be_v content_a rather_o
