of_o your_o heavy_a displeasure_n if_o they_o do_v not_o do_v you_o think_v it_o be_v a_o law_n that_o may_v be_v break_v or_o no_o a_o law_n doubtless_o it_o be_v as_o be_v tax_v with_o punishment_n upon_o the_o offendor_n yourselves_o will_v think_v it_o fit_a to_o be_v keep_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v break_v and_o yet_o it_o be_v in_o matter_n of_o god_n service_n and_o religion_n for_o let_v no_o man_n deceive_v himself_o my_o dear_a brethren_n not_o willing_o misconstrue_v we_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o ever_o place_v so_o much_o religion_n in_o a_o garment_n as_o you_o do_v in_o a_o book_n and_o yet_o christ_n never_o bid_v it_o and_o it_o be_v leave_v free_a for_o all_o sin_n not_o you_o must_v think_v that_o come_v to_o church_n without_o their_o bibles_n though_o they_o can_v

that_o we_o shall_v carry_v they_o to_o the_o church_n to_o every_o lecture_n or_o sermon_n with_o we_o yet_o let_v the_o former_a supposition_n hold_v but_o in_o lidleye_n prayer_n book_n or_o
