must_v be_v speak_v as_o from_o a_o prophet_n of_o god_n or_o only_o as_o a_o christian_a however_o conditional_o first_o if_o as_o a_o prophet_n than_o he_o speak_v not_o always_o what_o be_v

in_o and_o yet_o not_o destroy_v his_o christian_a principle_n second_o but_o if_o as_o a_o christian_a only_o and_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o a_o christian_a freedom_n and_o understand_v these_o aforesaid_a passage_n be_v speak_v then_o i_o may_v lawful_o conclude_v that_o the_o design_n thereof_o be_v not_o to_o incite_v to_o fight_v kill_v or_o bloodshed_n but_o rather_o that_o it_o be_v

formidable_a for_o a_o time_n and_o what_o success_n they_o may_v have_v have_v for_o such_o a_o end_n our_o adversary_n can_v determine_v however_o to_o require_v their_o inquisition_n and_o to_o knock_v at_o rome_n door_n prove_v no_o violence_n all_o this_o may_v have_v be_v do_v by_o embassy_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o d._n of_o savoy_n that_o persecute_v the_o poor_a piedmontor_n
