if_o i_o can_v i_o tell_v they_o that_o i_o can_v find_v no_o jew_n suffering_n no_o papist_n no_o protestant_n that_o do_v so_o magnify_v and_o so_o exact_o insist_v upon_o their_o suffering_n as_o the_o quaker_n do_v it_o be_v â—rue_a that_o paul_n do_v more_o particularize_v his_o suffering_n then_o other_o saint_n in_o scripture_n but_o it_o be_v also_o true_a that_o they_o be_v so_o exceed_o great_a that_o paul_n seem_v a_o none-such_a but_o beside_o that_o it_o be_v upon_o some_o great_a insulting_n of_o the_o false_a apostle_n against_o not_o only_a himself_o but_o against_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n jesus_n neither_o of_o which_o be_v the_o quaker_n case_n beside_o the_o quaker_n suffering_n general_o be_v not_o to_o be_v compare_v with_o paul_n and_o yet_o they_o set_v
