have_v he_o with_o a_o fix_a resolution_n not_o to_o displease_v god_n to_o please_v man_n yea_o how_o much_o vigour_n and_o strength_n do_v his_o zeal_n gain_v by_o opposition_n he_o seem_v indeed_o

of_o wildfire_n or_o carnal_a wrath_n be_v there_o in_o his_o zele_n notwithstanding_o his_o ardent_a zeal_n for_o god_n yet_o be_v he_o of_o a_o very_a peaceable_a and_o quiet_a spirit_n charity_n
