A89682	An apology for the service of love, and the people that own it, commonly called, the family of love. Being a plain, but groundly discourse, about the right and true Christian religion : set forth dialogue-wise between the citizen, the countreyman, and an exile : as the same was presented to the high court of Parliament, in the time of Queen Elizabeth; and penned by one of her Majesties menial servants, who was in no small esteem with her, for his wisdom and godliness. With another short confession of their faith, made by the same people. And finally some notes & collections, gathered by a private hand out of H.N. upon, or concerning the eight beatitudes.

but_o he_o indeed_o seem_v to_o open_v and_o disclose_v the_o first_o ground_n of_o the_o same_o religion_n and_o the_o signification_n of_o every_o thing_n so_o well_o sacrament_n as_o ceremony_n
