england_n for_o example_n but_o in_o the_o world_n it_o shall_v always_o be_v 1._o ●_o 2._o c._n 1._o for_o so_o much_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o scripture_n neither_o do_v it_o follow_v god_n

of_o it_o which_o he_o declare_v large_o in_o old_a heretic_n and_o the_o same_o we_o see_v in_o the_o modern_a by_o experience_n and_o then_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v therefore_o very_o
