begin_v to_o think_v of_o this_o course_n behold_v our_o most_o illustrious_a prince_n command_v i_o to_o do_v it_o which_o command_v of_o his_o do_v not_o only_o spur_v i_o on_o who_o of_o my_o own_o

the_o first_o and_o chief_a part_n of_o the_o prince_n office_n for_o if_o the_o magistrate_n ought_v to_o have_v a_o chief_a care_n that_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v keep_v pure_a and_o

all_o doubt_n that_o by_o this_o law_n concern_v apparel_n all_o godly_a man_n will_v be_v offend_v but_o the_o wicked_a will_v laugh_v in_o their_o sleeve_n and_o hereby_o be_v put_v in_o hope_n to_o

well_o ground_v they_o will_v be_v in_o great_a danger_n and_o if_o we_o speak_v according_a to_o man_n judgement_n they_o will_v rather_o look_v back_o to_o the_o old_a superstition_n to_o which_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v incline_v then_o fix_v and_o fasten_v their_o eye_n upon_o true_a religion_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o decree_n which_o will_v bring_v no_o avancement_n at_o all_o to_o
