be_v not_o fierce_a nor_o furious_a against_o they_o he_o do_v not_o excite_v any_o person_n to_o use_v force_n or_o violence_n to_o they_o but_o he_o rather_o pity_v they_o he_o make_v their_o zeal_n

with_o violence_n and_o outrage_n so_o far_o as_o their_o zeal_n be_v for_o god_n let_v we_o so_o far_o show_v tenderness_n and_o compassion_n to_o they_o and_o if_o their_o zeal_n be_v in_o such_o

so_o manage_v as_o that_o the_o true_a religion_n or_o the_o public_a peace_n suffer_v no_o damage_n thereby_o and_o therefore_o how_o kind_o and_o compassionate_o soever_o we_o as_o private_a
