through_o limit_v of_o we_o from_o and_o compel_v of_o we_o to_o such_o or_o such_o a_o way_n of_o worship_n and_o religion_n even_o contrary_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n take_v upon_o they_o without_o any_o call_n from_o god_n at_o all_o but_o as_o usurper_n to_o be_v judge_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o doctrine_n and_o worship_n which_o pertain_v unto_o the_o one_o god_n and_o not_o unto_o man_n and_o unto_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n we_o give_v the_o exercise_n of_o our_o conscience_n in_o our_o duty_n to_o god_n in_o all_o thing_n pertain_v to_o worship_n and_o faith_n towards_o he_o and_o not_o unto_o you_o nor_o any_o man_n upon_o the_o earth_n but_o i_o say_v because_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n have_v judge_v where_o he_o ought_v not_o in_o matter_n pertain_v
