their_o and_o all_o other_o just_a right_n and_o liberty_n i_o leave_v to_o their_o own_o sad_a meditation_n these_o gospel_n text_n of_o rom._n 2._o 1_o 2_o 3._o and_o c._n 12._o 20_o 21._o which_o

term_v they_o in_o his_o thunder_a empty_a voice_n answ_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o express_a precept_n or_o precedent_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o any_o
