that_o no_o man_n shall_v suffer_v for_o act_v according_a to_o his_o conscience_n in_o matter_n mere_o religious_a i_o be_o for_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n to_o those_o who_o for_o real_a

content_a with_o it_o and_o that_o all_o of_o we_o may_v be_v happy_a as_o to_o the_o government_n the_o best_a we_o can_v do_v be_v to_o serve_v it_o by_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o prevent_v tax_n as_o much_o as_o possible_a unless_o they_o be_v of_o public_a necessity_n to_o preserve_v the_o whole_a and_o in_o case_n tax_n be_v so_o necessary_a to_o take_v care_n that_o they_o
