safety_n or_o turn_v to_o any_o licentious_a sect_n than_o they_o will_v thus_o submit_v to_o the_o undoubted_a ordinance_n of_o christ_n which_o the_o church_n be_v so_o common_o agree_v in_o as_o

so_o lame_o and_o with_o so_o many_o blemish_n and_o if_o you_o ask_v the_o minister_n why_o they_o do_v not_o unanimous_o agree_v on_o a_o reform_a correct_v version_n most_o of_o they_o will_v
