wickedness_n spend_v your_o precious_a time_n in_o pride_n pleasure_n and_o vanity_n satisfy_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o take_v counsel_n of_o that_o wicked_a spirit_n which_o work_v in_o a_o mystery_n in_o your_o heart_n and_o in_o all_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n and_o so_o make_v law_n or_o put_v any_o unjust_a law_n in_o execution_n whereby_o to_o destroy_v the_o innocent_a then_o will_v you_o be_v find_v guilty_a before_o the_o lord_n of_o their_o blood_n which_o will_v lie_v heavy_a upon_o you_o and_o so_o by_o do_v these_o thing_n you_o will_v provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o anger_n and_o he_o will_v appear_v against_o you_o and_o bring_v his_o fierce_a judgement_n upon_o you_o and_o cut_v you_o off_o sudden_o from_o off_o the_o face_n

tender_v the_o good_a of_o your_o own_o soul_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n let_v god_n people_n have_v their_o liberty_n to_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n and_o to_o exercise_v

command_v one_o thing_n and_o a_o man_n another_o we_o shall_v choose_v rather_o to_o obey_v god_n then_o man_n now_o if_o you_o persecute_v we_o for_o these_o thing_n before_o mention_v we_o shall_v
