a_o brief_a answer_n to_o a_o late_a treatise_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n digest_v dialogue-wise_a between_o two_o divine_n a._n and_o b._n a._n brother_n you_o be_v happy_o meet_v b._n and_o you_o

in_o the_o point_n of_o the_o sabbath_n a._n pardon_v i_o that_o seem_v to_o i_o impossible_a b._n why_o a._n because_o he_o say_v express_o in_o the_o very_a title_n page_n of_o his_o book_n that_o

expect_v from_o the_o archbishop_n trow_v you_o and_o in_o stead_n of_o prevent_v he_o will_v pull_v on_o great_a mischief_n and_o in_o stead_n of_o settle_v the_o king_n good_a subject_n he_o will_v fill_v their_o mind_n with_o great_a distraction_n and_o therefore_o brother_n in_o so_o say_v you_o lay_v a_o heavy_a charge_n upon_o he_o it_o be_v dangerous_a so_o to_o charge_v a_o person_n of_o
