rely_v upon_o a_o great_a reasonableness_n not_o only_o because_o opinion_n can_v be_v force_v but_o because_o if_o man_n receive_v no_o hurt_n it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v they_o will_v do_v none_o but_o we_o find_v that_o this_o alone_a will_v not_o do_v it_o for_o beside_o that_o all_o man_n be_v not_o so_o just_a as_o not_o to_o do_v any_o injury_n for_o some_o man_n begin_v the_o evil_a beside_o this_o i_o say_v there_o be_v very_o many_o man_n among_o we_o who_o be_v not_o content_a that_o you_o permit_v they_o for_o they_o will_v not_o permit_v you_o but_o rule_v over_o your_o

carnal_a wisdom_n and_o want_v of_o zeal_n for_o god_n nay_o more_o than_o so_o they_o preach_v for_o toleration_n when_o themselves_o be_v under_o the_o rod_n who_o when_o they_o get_v the_o rod_n into_o their_o own_o hand_n think_v toleration_n itself_o to_o be_v intolerable_a thus_o do_v the_o papist_n and_o thus_o the_o calvinist_n and_o for_o their_o cruelty_n they_o pretend_v charity_n they_o will_v indeed_o force_v you_o to_o come_v in_o but_o it_o be_v in_o true_a zeal_n for_o your_o soul_n and_o if_o they_o do_v you_o violence_n it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o if_o they_o pull_v your_o arm_n out_o of_o joint_n when_o to_o save_v you_o from_o drown_v they_o draw_v you_o out_o of_o a_o river_n and_o if_o you_o complain_v it_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v regard_v then_o the_o
