whilst_o the_o reformer_n plonder_v the_o church_n &_o divide_v the_o spoil_n 2._o to_o do_v it_o with_o more_o ease_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o call_v a_o council_n of_o bishop_n but_o the_o laity_n

the_o window_n do_v you_o fancy_v that_o those_o church-and-state-mender_n deserve_v to_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o those_o matter_n and_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a they_o shall_v have_v it_o
