indeed_o i_o never_o have_v speak_v to_o he_o either_o about_o confession_n or_o communion_n to_o come_v to_o either_o neither_o do_v he_o know_v what_o i_o say_v to_o he_o when_o i_o give_v he_o

that_o i_o will_v give_v he_o the_o communion_n so_o although_o he_o have_v swear_v before_o that_o none_o in_o the_o house_n be_v witness_v or_o see_v he_o confess_v or_o receive_v yet_o rather_o than_o be_v confound_v he_o will_v bring_v his_o father_n into_o confusion_n and_o accuse_v he_o as_o guilty_a of_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o what_o he_o do_v which_o may_v be_v the_o ruin_n of_o his_o

and_o do_v do_v through_o the_o world_n he_o ask_v i_o how_o i_o can_v prove_v that_o i_o answer_v as_o to_o his_o confession_n he_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o nature_n he_o declare_v it_o it_o be_v only_o a_o act_n of_o charity_n for_o i_o to_o do_v as_o i_o do_v and_o every_o christian_n duty_n oblige_v every_o man_n to_o do_v the_o same_o that_o he_o say_v i_o have_v do_v for_o he_o and_o the_o same_o be_v practise_v by_o all_o sect_n whatsoever_o that_o never_o know_v what_o belong_v to_o priesthood_n for_o if_o our_o neighbour_n have_v any_o thing_n that_o perplex_v his_o mind_n there_o be_v no_o better_a way_n to_o ease_v it_o than_o by_o speak_v of_o it_o to_o any_o who_o he_o suppose_v may_v know_v how_o to_o take_v away_o or_o mitigate_v his_o grievance_n by_o counsel_n or_o advice_n and_o therefore_o this_o witness_n have_v understand_v something_o from_o his_o father_n that_o may_v move_v he_o to_o confide_v in_o i_o come_v of_o his_o own_o accord_n as_o he_o say_v he_o do_v to_o impart_v his_o mind_n to_o i_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o have_v fulfil_v christian_a duty_n if_o i_o shall_v have_v slight_v his_o trouble_n and_o not_o have_v give_v he_o leave_n to_o ease_v his_o mind_n to_o i_o and_z in_o the_o best_a way_n i_o can_v endeavour_v to_o assist_v he_o and_o divert_v his_o trouble_n though_o i_o be_v a_o stranger_n be_v that_o he_o of_o

of_o two_o or_o three_o year_n old_a and_o such_o like_a hallow_a bread_n thousand_o of_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n take_v and_o may_v carry_v about_o they_o and_o keep_v in_o their_o house_n and_o
