according_a to_o instruction_n no_o doubt_n the_o publication_n of_o their_o first_o edition_n without_o their_o name_n give_v out_o that_o those_o error_n be_v of_o such_o consequence_n that_o except_o they_o have_v more_o full_o weigh_v their_o collection_n of_o answer_n to_o they_o their_o design_n will_v have_v prove_v abortive_a and_o they_o must_v then_o have_v inevitable_o expose_v

the_o first_o impression_n find_v vent_v and_o it_o be_v general_o think_v that_o the_o advertisement_n to_o which_o these_o five_o name_n be_v affix_v be_v stitch_v by_o the_o bookseller_n to_o

they_o demonstrate_v to_o the_o world_n how_o happy_a the_o present_a constitution_n of_o their_o church_n be_v since_o the_o pastor_n can_v so_o easy_o ravish_v from_o the_o people_n that_o
