he_o do_v plain_o &_o ample_o depaint_v &_o point_v out_o all_o the_o abuse_n impiety_n superstition_n &_o idolatry_n of_o popery_n which_o be_v gather_v into_o their_o form_n of_o abjuration_n so_o that_o they_o be_v make_v know_v to_o all_o even_o to_o little_a child_n unless_o they_o be_v such_o as_o be_v blind_v by_o the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n furthermore_o i_o have_v not_o interprise_v

to_o blear_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o simple_a fool_n as_o if_o their_o doctrine_n be_v conformable_a to_o this_o creed_n and_o as_o if_o we_o do_v reject_v and_o reprove_v the_o same_o whereas_o
