that_o the_o oppugn_v of_o a_o cause_n countenance_v by_o most_o of_o the_o godly_a learned_a will_v be_v take_v in_o hand_n by_o any_o who_o can_v not_o answer_v the_o reason_n which_o he_o may_v

either_o because_o they_o desire_v that_o for_o grant_v which_o be_v the_o question_n or_o make_v those_o thing_n of_o like_a nature_n wherein_o there_o be_v a_o great_a dissimilitude_n fron_n the_o

will_v prove_v that_o which_o the_o word_n of_o the_o eternal_a god_n do_v not_o warrant_n hence_o you_o take_v it_o grant_v that_o popish_a priest_n be_v minister_n that_o the_o outward_a
