such_o as_o the_o belief_n of_o matter_n of_o fact_n do_v many_o age_n ago_o and_o religious_a precept_n and_o ceremony_n thereupon_o depend_v but_o i_o have_v express_o declare_v in_o my_o 4_o

till_o his_o conscience_n be_v convince_v this_o i_o say_v and_o this_o be_v all_o i_o have_v say_v in_o that_o 10_o chapter_n how_o his_o sincere_a person_n serve_v the_o doctor_n for_o a_o
