in_o their_o mutual_a charity_n for_o in_o one_o word_n former_a thing_n such_o as_o we_o now_o see_v shall_v be_v so_o banish_v from_o the_o christian_a world_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v know_v

for_o it_o be_v no_o part_n of_o his_o way_n as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v in_o the_o wilderness_n whither_o the_o spirit_n carry_v he_o nor_o be_v it_o a_o thing_n include_v in_o this_o promise_n which_o
