D. Vnto which is annexed, an examination of a pamphlet lately published, intituled The compassionate Samaritan, handling the power of the magistrate in the compulsion of conscience: by the same author.

so_o yet_o so_o intricate_a be_v this_o way_n of_o examination_n that_o a_o christian_n shall_v find_v himself_o much_o puzzle_v in_o it_o why_o so_o because_o hard_o it_o be_v to_o know_v both_o

who_o can_v approve_v himself_o to_o have_v love_v in_o all_o those_o particular_n ans._n even_o he_o that_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o love_n be_v one_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o

do_v any_o man_n know_v this_o but_o god_n alone_o ans._n be_v not_o this_o in_o effect_n to_o tell_v the_o apostle_n he_o speak_v absurd_o and_o set_v down_o a_o mark_n of_o know_v which_o can_v be_v
