of_o this_o realm_n you_o must_v fell_v down_o to_o the_o ground_n those_o rot_a post_n the_o bishop_n which_o be_v cloud_n without_o moisture_n and_o utter_o abolish_v all_o and_o every_o his_o

once_o expel_v then_o make_v no_o law_n but_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n word_n and_o so_o shall_v you_o drive_v out_o antichrist_n and_o his_o member_n or_o else_o never_o and_o thus_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o avoid_v our_o temporal_a bondage_n but_o also_o our_o spiritual_a captivity_n which_o thing_n be_v most_o to_o be_v desire_v and_o sure_o see_v there_o be_v no_o power_n upon_o earth_n above_o the_o temporal_a to_o redress_v civil_a matter_n commonwealth_n and_o to_o change_v wicked_a law_n and_o evil_a custom_n and_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o high_a power_n be_v
