by_o writing_n to_o condemn_v certain_a article_n contain_v in_o my_o doctrine_n at_o that_o present_a and_o there_o by_o i_o teach_v that_o be_v to_o say_v where_o i_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v

have_v take_v upon_o i_o at_o this_o present_a to_o answer_v the_o same_o wherein_o i_o have_v use_v this_o order_n first_o i_o have_v answer_v every_o article_n of_o the_o four_o particular_o and_o
