because_o to_o impose_v any_o thing_n upon_o another_o man_n conscience_n either_o to_o do_v or_o practise_v be_v not_o to_o do_v unto_o another_o as_o he_o will_v have_v another_o do_v unto_o he_o

you_o do_v it_o long_o enough_o will_v convert_v they_o and_o the_o reason_n he_o give_v be_v this_o because_o paul_n rank_n his_o heresy_n among_o the_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o it_o be_v not_o seat_v so_o sole_o in_o the_o mind_n but_o that_o it_o have_v often_o no_o sublime_a motive_n than_o other_o sensual_a transgression_n and_o as_o outward_a consideration_n be_v sometime_o the_o cause_n so_o they_o may_v be_v the_o cure_n of_o it_o that_o ever_o any_o man_n do_v change_v a_o opinion_n first_o or_o last_o by_o be_v force_v since_o the_o world_n begin_v be_v without_o
