bibliothecarius_n be_v not_o capable_a be_v a_o youth_n of_o such_o modesty_n and_o ingenuity_n it_o may_v be_v he_o may_v be_v blame_v for_o leave_v out_o a_o word_n or_o for_o write_v careless_o

error_n which_o be_v mix_v with_o their_o christian_a belief_n and_o which_o oblige_v the_o protestant_n to_o separate_a from_o they_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o if_o the_o student_n do_v continue_v firm_a in_o the_o christian_a religion_n i_o hope_v it_o have_v no_o tendency_n to_o make_v they_o papist_n but_o there_o be_v a_o sect_n of_o man_n among_o we_o who_o
