           I
           have

           wherein
           I
           find
           Commotions

           and
           Rebellions

           keep
           His
           Lawes
           ,
           but
           this
           is
           the
           first
           Rebellion
           that
           I
           ever
           heard
           of

           that
           will
           not

           but
           will
           either
           kill
           Him
           ,
           or
           compell

           so
           that

           of
