and_o not_o to_o let_v the_o blind_a bayard_n of_o babylon_n with_o the_o vain_a glory_n of_o his_o outward_a ceremony_n bewitch_v you_o and_o so_o with_o honest_a truth_n to_o the_o world_n &_o

the_o roman_a religion_n i_o have_v notwithstanding_o this_o persuasion_n with_o myself_o that_o religion_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o man_n how_o great_a and_o learned_a soever_o they_o be_v but_o that_o they_o themselves_o be_v subject_a to_o religion_n also_o that_o religion_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o salvation_n give_v of_o god_n to_o man_n and_o to_o which_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v subject_a and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o any_o one_o to_o exempt_v himself_o or_o to_o change_v or_o diminish_v any_o thing_n therein_o and_o thereupon_o demand_v of_o some_o churchman_n which_o i_o have_v best_a conceit_n of_o if_o this_o rule_n be_v give_v of_o god_n they_o answer_v i_o that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o sacred_a book_n of_o god_n call_v the_o bible_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o book_n beside_o which_o may_v be_v name_v the_o word_n of_o god_n follow_v therefore_o this_o counsel_n after_o i_o have_v pray_v to_o almighty_a god_n to_o give_v i_o grace_n to_o
