but_o upon_o this_o whole_a britannic_a affair_n the_o thing_n most_o worthy_a our_o observation_n be_v that_o this_o decree_n for_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o britannic_a church_n be_v not_o

all_o these_o add_v what_o in_o conclusion_n be_v principal_o necessary_a to_o wit_n that_o the_o britannic_a church_n after_o the_o very_a sacred_a canon_n of_o the_o scripture_n such_o as_o be_v
