thus_o to_o do_v their_o kingdom_n will_v long_o ago_o have_v fall_v and_o come_v to_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o the_o prelate_n be_v wrongful_o blame_v for_o abuse_v their_o office_n thevery_a nature_n and_o right_a use_n whereof_o be_v to_o waste_v and_o overthrow_v the_o church_n and_o office_n of_o christ_n to_o overturn_v kingdom_n and_o law_n to_o propagate_v the_o kingdom_n of_o

which_o make_v they_o so_o loath_a to_o part_v with_o the_o jade_n and_o rather_o will_v venture_v a_o fall_n every_o priest_n ride_v for_o a_o parsonage_n every_o person_n for_o a_o prebendary_a every_o prebend_n for_o a_o deanery_n so_o for_o a_o bishopric_n a_o archbishopric_n a_o cardinallship_n till_o some_o of_o they_o that_o ride_v fast_o at_o last_n be_v mount_v on_o man_n shoulder_n

pretence_n of_o love_n to_o christ_n they_o overthrow_v all_o his_o office_n as_o prophet_n priest_n and_o king_n and_o therefore_o the_o conclusion_n stand_v firm_a that_o they_o be_v not_o of_o
