you_o be_v a_o christian_a must_v of_o necessity_n believe_v yourself_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o god_n but_o if_o you_o do_v not_o believe_v with_o other_o christian_n that_o you_o be_v govern_v by_o

if_o he_o shall_v stay_v with_o we_o only_o for_o this_o end_n always_o to_o let_v we_o have_v his_o presence_n and_o yet_o never_o to_o love_v we_o far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o to_o have_v such_o

far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o to_o speak_v it_o i_o be_o persuade_v there_o be_v scarce_o such_o a_o varlet_n to_o be_v find_v among_o all_o mankind_n that_o desire_v to_o be_v near_o another_o man_n pure_o because_o he_o do_v not_o love_v he_o and_o that_o will_v covet_v to_o enjoy_v his_o company_n mere_o that_o he_o may_v have_v the_o better_a opportunity_n to_o hate_n and_o despise_v he_o let_v therefore_o humane_a nature_n either_o inform_v or_o convince_v we_o for_o if_o we_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o be_v with_o any_o man_n unless_o such_o as_o we_o have_v respect_n for_o and_o because_o we_o have_v such_o respect_n we_o endeavour_v that_o our_o company_n may_v be_v as_o grateful_a and_o advantageous_a to_o he_o we_o do_v so_o love_v how_o come_v we_o then_o to_o take_v
