conscience_n shall_v be_v pretend_v when_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o to_o turn_v christian_a or_o not_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o doubt_n in_o that_o point_n

entangle_v he_o so_o that_o he_o must_v sin_v if_o the_o obligation_n of_o act_v fall_n out_o before_o the_o error_n be_v remove_v suppose_v the_o jew_n convict_v by_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o

into_o conventieles_n when_o they_o do_v so_o than_o they_o can_v be_v count_v no_o more_o the_o weak_a among_o christian_n than_o those_o jew_n which_o s._n paul_n will_v have_v to_o be_v forbear_v as_o the_o weak_a among_o christian_n suppose_v they_o to_o have_v renounce_v the_o faith_n afterward_o rather_o than_o continue_v in_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o the_o plea_n of_o weak_a
