shall_v not_o mark_v out_o which_o those_o article_n be_v which_o may_v be_v abandon_v to_o you_o because_o we_o be_v not_o sufficient_o authorise_v thereunto_o a_o full_a assembly_n will_v be_v

never_o to_o betray_v the_o truth_n if_o it_o shall_v be_v agree_v upon_o to_o tolerate_v the_o opinion_n of_o purgatory_n you_o ought_v not_o to_o oblige_v we_o to_o subscribe_v to_o it_o nor_o yet_o to_o conceal_v our_o proper_a sentiment_n and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n you_o may_v not_o retain_v all_o those_o worship_n and_o all_o those_o devotion_n which_o be_v found_v upon_o that_o

by_o our_o word_n which_o will_v be_v to_o put_v a_o christian_a into_o a_o state_n of_o contradiction_n and_o oblige_v he_o to_o establish_v and_o to_o destroy_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n a_o

to_o the_o union_n the_o same_o course_n ought_v to_o be_v use_v in_o respect_n of_o opinion_n which_o it_o shall_v be_v think_v fit_a to_o tolerate_v in_o favour_n of_o a_o general_a reunion_n there_o be_v good_a reason_n to_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v bless_v the_o endeavour_n of_o those_o who_o make_v search_v after_o truth_n without_o passion_n and_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o peace_n and_o that_o both_o party_n be_v reunite_v they_o will_v quick_o come_v to_o a_o universal_a agreement_n as_o well_o in_o respect_n of_o doctrine_n as_o of_o worship_n these_o several_a principle_n
