may_v not_o long_o speak_v let_v i_o speak_v free_o true_o brother_n foolish_a i_o think_v it_o aque_fw-la and_o aequaliter_fw-la politic_a for_o serious_a sober_a reformer_n to_o unite_v with_o

again_o agree_v these_o in_o ecclesiastic_n and_o divide_v they_o in_o civil_n if_o you_o can_v i_o wish_v i_o can_v not_o scent_v some_o brethren_n offend_v at_o my_o act_n as_o taint_v already_o
