these_o word_n the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n say_v he_o draw_v nigh_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o terrestrial_a kingdom_n to_o the_o end_n that_o those_o which_o be_v of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n

that_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o felony_n i_o will_v grant_v they_o against_o my_o conscience_n and_o the_o truth_n that_o the_o king_n have_v unjust_o cause_v the_o cardinal_n of_o guise_n to_o be_v

read_v what_o saint_n john_n chrisostome_n say_v in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o dignity_n of_o priest_n the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n say_v he_o be_v a_o charge_n commit_v of_o god_n to_o teach_v
