which_o i_o know_v will_v never_o own_v nor_o practise_v these_o thing_n she_o also_o say_v she_o do_v oppose_v those_o principle_n which_o lead_v to_o looseness_n either_o in_o conversation_n or_o

any_o say_v the_o saint_n pray_v or_o propresy_v without_o the_o moving_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n here_o she_o have_v shut_v herself_o among_o the_o heathen_n who_o know_v
