can_v be_v well_o state_v it_o will_v be_v a_o sure_a thread_n to_o guide_v we_o first_o then_o st._n paul_n lead_v man_n above_o the_o value_v such_o matter_n too_o much_o as_o if_o the_o be_v of_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o side_n signify_v any_o thing_n towards_o their_o peace_n with_o god_n for_o all_o fierce_a zealot_n be_v apt_a to_o imagine_v that_o by_o their_o zeal_n they_o please_v

and_o aught_o to_o be_v approve_v of_o man_n 5._o whatsoever_o his_o sense_n may_v be_v as_o to_o all_o other_o thing_n another_o position_n lay_v down_o be_v that_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o he_o
