you_o may_v observe_v doct._n that_o there_o be_v a_o separation_n that_o have_v be_v a_o old_a error_n even_o in_o some_o man_n that_o have_v pretend_v to_o be_v know_v and_o religious_a man_n and_o

and_o especial_o at_o a_o public_a fa●t_n and_o before_o such_o a_o honourable_o assembly_n as_o be_v now_o gather_v together_o but_o i_o must_v profess_v that_o i_o judge_v the_o sin_n of_o
