why_o do_v he_o preach_v error_n and_o lie_n no_o we_o can_v not_o find_v any_o fault_n with_o his_o doctrine_n that_o be_v sound_a but_o yet_o we_o can_v away_o with_o he_o he_o be_v too_o plain_a

they_o have_v use_v all_o good_a mean_n to_o procure_v thy_o love_n and_o good_a like_n in_o the_o truth_n and_o thou_o have_v then_o construe_v every_o thing_n in_o the_o worst_a part_n against_o
