with_o magistrate_n minister_n and_o people_n in_o the_o land_n when_o they_o unanimous_o and_o cordial_o join_v together_o in_o the_o work_n of_o god_n they_o can_v easy_o be_v break_v and_o

in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o come_v to_o show_v you_o negative_o what_o this_o exhortation_n be_v strong_a prohibit_v or_o what_o be_v not_o mean_v by_o it_o as_o 1._o it_o forbid_v timorousness_n
