a_o sin_n it_o shall_v come_v under_o the_o name_n of_o indifferency_n a_o toy_n a_o trifle_n and_o thing_n of_o that_o nature_n therefore_o you_o have_v need_n be_v cautious_a for_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n what_o name_n the_o sin_n be_v what_o title_n it_o go_v under_o as_o what_o it_o be_v real_o as_o to_o thing_n of_o doctrine_n and_o worship_n i_o know_v there_o be_v no_o medium_n every_o
