to_o be_v the_o detestable_a opinion_n which_o we_o hold_v and_o indeed_o do_v not_o nor_o never_o do_v decemb._n 22._o 1691._o by_o one_o who_o be_v in_o scorn_n call_v a_o quaker_n by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o its_o end_n be_v either_o that_o you_o will_v prove_v your_o assertion_n or_o retract_v they_o but_o instead_o of_o do_v either_o in_o that_o which_o you_o call_v your_o answer_n you_o
