ground_n of_o religion_n wherein_o both_o side_n do_v agree_v that_o the_o papist_n himself_o may_v resort_v unto_o it_o without_o any_o scruple_n or_o scandal_n if_o faction_n more_o than_o reason_n

of_o his_o liege_n lady_n and_o mistress_n as_o to_o a_o honourable_a and_o holy_a exploit_n the_o last_o difference_n and_o odds_n which_o i_o observe_v between_o our_o forefather_n &_o our_o
