be_v a_o trick_n that_o it_o give_v every_o man_n a_o just_a ground_n of_o indignation_n against_o those_o who_o fly_v to_o it_o beside_o that_o it_o afford_v a_o good_a plea_n to_o all_o man_n to_o continue_v in_o the_o religion_n in_o which_o they_o be_v bear_v and_o breed_v without_o harken_v to_o any_o new_a discovery_n for_o if_o the_o ground_n upon_o which_o the_o reformation_n be_v make_v
