a_o testimony_n against_o hypocrite_n and_o deceiver_n in_o defence_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o all_o the_o hypocrite_n and_o deceiver_n i_o have_v see_v or_o read_v of_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o

and_o whereas_o you_o appeal_v unto_o god_n holy_a witness_n in_o all_o conscience_n if_o ever_o you_o so_o use_v any_o conscientious_a enquirer_n as_o to_o thrust_v they_o out_o of_o your_o meeting_n pag._n 11._o and_o you_o say_v it_o be_v baseness_n to_o suggest_v your_o ill-using_a of_o people_n in_o general_n and_o none_o name_v and_o thus_o when_o the_o truth_n in_o plainness_n of_o speech_n be_v lay_v open_a against_o you_o that_o you_o can_v in_o any_o measure_n deny_v but_o that_o the_o very_a word_n testify_v in_o plain_a term_n against_o your_o practice_n yet_o with_o boldness_n you_o will_v make_v people_n believe_v put_v meaning_n contrary_a to_o the_o sound_n of_o your_o own_o word_n which_o your_o forefather_n the_o professor_n that_o go_v before_o you_o will_v not_o
