if_o i_o can_v i_o tell_v they_o that_o i_o can_v find_v no_o jew_n suffering_n no_o papist_n no_o protestant_n that_o do_v so_o magnify_v and_o so_o exact_o insist_v upon_o their_o suffering_n as_o the_o quaker_n do_v it_o be_v â—rue_a that_o paul_n do_v more_o particularize_v his_o suffering_n then_o other_o saint_n in_o scripture_n but_o it_o be_v also_o true_a that_o they_o be_v so_o exceed_o
