what_o be_v write_v by_o mr._n william_n sedgwick_n in_o his_o book_n call_v justice_n upon_o the_o army_n remonstrance_n wherein_o be_v many_o passage_n which_o will_v we_o have_v hearken_v unto_o

though_o it_o be_v too_o late_o in_o reference_n to_o what_o be_v past_a yet_o that_o we_o may_v not_o through_o the_o high_a opinion_n that_o we_o have_v of_o our_o own_o way_n as_o to_o the_o

the_o great_a impediment_n to_o that_o moderation_n and_o christian_a condescension_n which_o i_o desire_v may_v be_v among_o we_o that_o we_o may_v no_o long_o i_o say_v persist_v in_o the_o
