to_o answer_v this_o motive_n of_o our_o assembler_n by_o tell_v they_o that_o in_o the_o reform_v such_o a_o church_n as_o this_o of_o we_o if_o not_o by_o other_o yet_o by_o they_o be_v

other_o church_n expect_v for_o if_o that_o be_v the_o rule_n it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a fallacious_a and_o very_a puzzle_v one_o the_o expectation_n of_o several_a church_n be_v as_o several_a and_o the_o choice_n of_o some_o difficulty_n which_o of_o they_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v answer_v but_o than_o second_o what_o the_o expectation_n of_o other_o church_n have_v be_v in_o this_o point_n or_o what_o the_o reason_n of_o they_o we_o do_v not_o punctual_o know_v only_o this_o we_o do_v that_o after_o your_o solicit_v of_o many_o which_o be_v another_o thing_n somewhat_o distant_a from_o
