but_o above_o all_o thing_n my_o brethren_n swear_v not_o neither_o by_o heaven_n neither_o by_o the_o earth_n neither_o by_o any_o other_o oath_n but_o let_v your_o yea_o be_v yea_o and_o your_o

whereas_o dr._n h._n think_v it_o mean_v one_o single_a bishop_n who_o the_o ancient_n say_v visit_v all_o the_o sick_a you_o may_v see_v then_o how_o great_a their_o diocese_n be_v shall_v all_o

17_o 18._o think_v not_o that_o prayer_n be_v a_o vain_a or_o uneffectual_a thing_n though_o we_o be_v frail_a and_o faulty_a man_n elias_n be_v but_o a_o man_n liable_a both_o to_o suffering_n and_o
