the_o alteration_n of_o the_o state_n of_o all_o the_o law_n of_o this_o realm_n i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o wise_a man_n but_o see_v what_o danger_n may_v follow_v in_o these_o perilous_a time_n not_o only_o by_o fulfil_v the_o thing_n but_o also_o by_o offer_v to_o do_v it_o it_o have_v be_v always_o dangerous_a to_o pick_v quarrel_n against_o law_n settle_v and_o i_o pray_v god_n that_o

that_o i_o think_v in_o write_v the_o form_n of_o find_v of_o minister_n by_o tithe_n must_v with_o the_o canon_n law_n be_v abolish_v for_o it_o be_v not_o use_v in_o the_o government_n of_o the_o

with_o how_o great_a alteration_n it_o must_v be_v do_v and_o how_o hard_o it_o will_v be_v to_o bring_v to_o good_a effect_n i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o he_o see_v for_o the_o live_n of_o bishop_n and_o cathedral_n church_n whereat_o they_o carp_v though_o they_o be_v all_o that_o way_n bestow_v will_v not_o serve_v the_o three_o part_n if_o this_o government_n whereof_o they_o

must_v be_v to_o unite_v diverse_a parish_n in_o one_o whereof_o this_o inconvenience_n will_v follow_v that_o people_n in_o the_o country_n must_v come_v to_o church_n three_o four_o or_o five_o
