the_o difference_n be_v so_o great_a that_o we_o ought_v thereby_o to_o be_v excite_v to_o the_o great_a vigilancy_n for_o first_o the_o danger_n be_v by_o time_n grow_v great_a than_o they_o be_v

armado_n or_o any_o other_o foreign_a invasion_n the_o hatred_n of_o brethren_n be_v the_o strong_a and_o the_o resistance_n be_v by_o division_n make_v the_o weak_a now_o the_o secret_a plot_n and_o
