not_o at_o all_o serve_v your_o turn_n for_o 1_o how_o do_v you_o prove_v the_o prophet_n of_o baal_n to_o be_v heretic_n unless_o you_o will_v say_v that_o the_o poor_a indian_n in_o america_n who_o worship_n the_o sun_n and_o moon_n and_o other_o piece_n of_o the_o creation_n be_v heretic_n 2_o do_v that_o scripture_n say_v that_o elijah_n call_v to_o ahab_n to_o punish_v baal_n prophet_n who_o be_v himself_o a_o worshipper_n of_o baal_n or_o do_v it_o only_o say_v that_o he_o bid_v he_o send_v and_o gather_v they_o together_o and_o do_v you_o read_v that_o ahab_n do_v more_o than_o elijah_n desire_v of_o he_o you_o say_v ere_o while_n that_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o call_v to_o the_o civil_a power_n to_o punish_v heretic_n who_o can_v not_o hope_v that_o

what_o be_v do_v on_o they_o can_v be_v look_v on_o as_o no_o other_o than_o the_o fruit_n of_o that_o compact_n make_v betwixt_o elijah_n and_o the_o prophet_n of_o baal_n with_o the_o consent_n of_o

for_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o at_o the_o instigation_n and_o procurement_n of_o some_o or_o other_o of_o your_o persecute_v generation_n what_o do_v your_o pulpit_n more_o frequent_o breath_n and_o belch_v out_o at_o this_o day_n then_o threaten_n against_o those_o that_o walk_v innocent_o and_o upright_o in_o the_o land_n stir_v up_o and_o conjure_v the_o magistrate_n to_o imprison_v and_o punish_v those_o as_o heretic_n and_o blasphemer_n who_o the_o lord_n do_v stir_v up_o to_o bear_v testimony_n against_o your_o deceit_n and_o abomination_n be_v it_o not_o at_o this_o day_n as_o it_o be_v of_o old_a when_o the_o single_a voice_n of_o the_o people_n can_v not_o then_o do_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o chief_a priest_n add_v to_o they_o prevail_v for_o a_o

yet_o be_v overcome_v by_o the_o incessant_a urge_n of_o the_o chief_a priest_n and_o pharisee_n so_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o same_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o the_o conscience_n of_o most_o in_o
