as_o to_o free_v they_o from_o the_o scandal_n of_o recognise_v the_o quaker_n as_o protestant_n who_o deny_v the_o holy_a trinity_n the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n and_o all_o outward_a both_o

since_o they_o enjoy_v their_o present_a liberty_n mere_o from_o the_o grace_n at_o least_o the_o good_a nature_n of_o those_o who_o of_o all_o mankind_n they_o have_v endeavour_v to_o render_v most_o
