who_o live_v among_o we_o and_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v of_o us._n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v reject_v the_o one_o sort_n for_o abuse_n we_o must_v also_o reject_v all_o the_o rest_n for_o the_o same_o bucero_n respect_n unless_o perhaps_o it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a answer_n that_o our_o own_o conceit_n neither_o ground_v upon_o authority_n nor_o reason_n must_v teach_v we_o

second_o that_o not_o only_a master_n calvin_n and_o s._n austen_n speak_v indefinite_o and_o general_o of_o all_o thing_n abuse_v but_o the_o brownist_n and_o martinist_n do_v in_o their_o refusal_n

of_o a_o thing_n do_v so_o change_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o it_o can_v never_o be_v well_o use_v again_o then_o doubtless_o must_v we_o perforce_o reject_v all_o thing_n
