to_o true_a piety_n and_o salvation_n in_o a_o word_n such_o as_o we_o look_v upon_o as_o stain_n and_o tolerable_a infirmity_n i_o affirm_v that_o when_o we_o find_v thing_n of_o this_o second_o

whether_o we_o be_v not_o mistake_v where_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v good_a heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o make_v a_o rash_a judgement_n but_o to_o imagine_v that_o we_o can_v with_o a_o good_a
