instruct_v as_o will_v appear_v by_o thy_o follow_a parallel_n answ_n those_o false_a parallel_n and_o thy_o unrighteous_a judgement_n of_o we_o without_o knowledge_n will_v not_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o we_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o practice_n and_o discipline_n of_o popish_a monk_n who_o practice_n and_o discipline_n we_o deny_v but_o rather_o will_v discover_v thy_o folly_n and_o
