themselves_o free_a from_o all_o such_o observation_n that_o these_o be_v on_o part_n of_o the_o gospel_n dispensation_n that_o therefore_o neither_o they_o nor_o the_o jew_n themselves_o ought_v to_o have_v any_o regard_n or_o account_v for_o they_o and_o this_o as_o it_o usual_o happen_v in_o the_o difference_n of_o party_n and_o opinion_n make_v they_o contemn_v and_o censure_v each_o other_o the_o strong_a despise_v the_o weak_a as_o too_o nice_a and_o superstitious_a and_o the_o weak_a judge_v the_o strong_a as_o profane_v and_o neglecter_n of_o god_n law_n and_o this_o be_v grow_v so_o

which_o they_o know_v be_v of_o divine_a institution_n and_o which_o though_o abrogate_a they_o have_v yet_o a_o conscience_n for_o in_o this_o case_n the_o apostle_n advise_v not_o to_o judge_v one_o another_o but_o judge_n this_o rather_o that_o no_o man_n put_v a_o stumble_v block_n or_o a_o occasion_n to_o fall_v in_o his_o brother_n way_n ver._n 13._o the_o prejudices_fw-la of_o education_n
