peaceful_o together_o in_o the_o unity_n of_o one_o church_n the_o minor_a of_o my_o argument_n be_v evident_a by_o the_o decree_n itself_o wherein_o it_o seem_v good_a to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o apostle_n to_o impose_v no_o other_o burden_n on_o they_o than_o that_o they_o shall_v astaine_v from_o those_o 3._o sort_n of_o meat_n and_o fornication_n which_o decree_n have_v be_v a_o

and_o ridiculous_o impose_v to_o the_o convert_a gentile_n &_o they_o be_v false_o tell_v that_o in_o abstain_v from_o those_o meat_n they_o shall_v do_v well_o because_o according_a to_o john_n

ancient_a father_n or_o christian_a divine_a do_v before_o traske_n understand_v other_o then_o that_o the_o apostle_n intend_v in_o their_o decree_n to_o ease_v the_o gentill_n from_o some_o

of_o s._n peter_n and_o s._n james_n speech_n assent_v unto_o by_o the_o other_o apostle_n but_o if_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n of_o meat_n do_v general_o oblige_v all_o christian_n after_o this_o
