own_o wherein_o they_o may_v take_v their_o own_o liberty_n and_o pray_v against_o those_o sin_n as_o free_v any_o suit_n whereof_o other_o be_v guilty_a not_o themselves_o so_o when_o i_o observe_v of_o what_o spirit_n many_o man_n be_v call_v daily_o for_o fire_n from_o heaven_n upon_o their_o fellow_n brethren_n or_o stir_v up_o what_o fire_n earth_n and_o hell_n can_v help_v they_o to_o
