churchman_n and_o such_o who_o trade_n it_o be_v to_o profess_v and_o pretend_v to_o a_o great_a strictness_n than_o their_o neighbour_n but_o for_o they_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o be_v solemn_a and_o serious_a at_o certain_a season_n of_o devotion_n and_o to_o expiate_v all_o the_o wickedness_n of_o their_o life_n by_o do_v penance_n now_o and_o then_o in_o some_o childish_a and_o unprofitable_a instance_n of_o mortification_n people_n will_v endure_v any_o thing_n in_o religion_n rather_o than_o be_v true_o virtuous_a and_o this_o be_v the_o great_a disadvantage_n of_o the_o church_n of_o

of_o the_o great_a ground_n of_o danger_n that_o man_n will_v not_o endure_v the_o plain_a deal_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o they_o must_v have_v a_o religion_n that_o will_v be_v more_o
