private_a commission_n from_o some_o one_o or_o more_o of_o you_o for_o the_o former_a knowledge_n that_o he_o have_v of_o our_o blameless_a deportment_n among_o you_o i_o dare_v believe_v he_o will_v not_o have_v use_v we_o so_o uncharitably_o without_o receive_v reproof_n from_o you_o why_o indeed_o shall_v he_o since_o none_o of_o you_o can_v just_o say_v that_o we_o give_v any_o interruption_n

who_o have_v ever_o violent_o handle_v and_o hard_o use_v the_o member_n of_o the_o true_a and_o so_o it_o become_v my_o lot_n at_o that_o time_n to_o bear_v a_o measure_n of_o suffering_n from_o

mighty_o enrage_v against_o i_o oh_o where_o be_v your_o patient_a mind_n that_o you_o can_v not_o hear_v what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v unto_o you_o and_o have_v try_v what_o spirit_n i_o have_v be_v

from_o he_o in_o answer_n to_o which_o he_o himself_o know_v i_o receive_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o word_n to_o give_v i_o any_o satisfaction_n but_o have_v a_o hasty_a put-by_a from_o he_o which_o may_v very_o well_o excuse_v i_o in_o not_o make_v a_o second_o application_n unto_o he_o however_o my_o soul_n desire_v the_o real_a welfare_n of_o all_o man_n and_o have_v write_v this_o
