and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o full_a substance_n and_o design_n of_o the_o first_o argument_n now_o to_o avoid_v all_o doubt_n and_o enter_v into_o dispute_n about_o foreign_a church_n who_o case_n be_v in_o some_o regard_n much_o different_a from_o we_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o shall_v therefore_o instead_o of_o the_o protestant_a party_n proceed_v to_o answer_n for_o the_o
