as_o you_o pretend_v to_o do_v a_o papist_n and_o shun_v his_o converse_n and_o sight_n as_o much_o as_o a_o man_n of_o curdle_a blood_n do_v cheese_n but_o whatever_o treatment_n you_o be_v please_v to_o give_v we_o or_o whatever_o livery_n you_o think_v fit_a to_o clothe_v we_o withal_o yet_o beg_v your_o leave_n we_o shall_v desire_v this_o freedom_n as_o to_o cleanse_v our_o garment_n from_o

love_v all_o protestant_n of_o whatever_o sort_n title_n and_o name_n that_o do_v real_o abominate_a the_o superstitious_a foolery_n and_o heretical_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n second_o we_o do_v approve_v and_o delight_n in_o all_o person_n which_o assert_v and_o vindicate_v the_o king_n supremacy_n over_o all_o person_n and_o in_o all_o cause_n both_o in_o church_n and_o

that_o whole_o exclude_v all_o doubt_n and_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n six_o we_o do_v abominate_a and_o as_o seasonable_o and_o prudential_o as_o we_o can_v rebuke_n and_o suppress_v all_o sort_n of_o vice_n and_o immorality_n without_o respect_n have_v to_o person_n and_o shall_v be_v hearty_o glad_a to_o see_v whoredom_n adultery_n drunkenness_n swear_v and_o pride_n to_o grow_v out_o of_o

nine_o we_o do_v firm_o believe_v that_o the_o present_a act_n and_o design_n of_o our_o enemy_n the_o papist_n be_v so_o wicked_a and_o evil_a and_o our_o cause_n so_o good_a and_o just_a that_o we_o

will_v so_o rule_v the_o heart_n of_o our_o king_n and_o direct_v his_o council_n that_o we_o and_o our_o religion_n will_v at_o last_o have_v as_o memorable_a a_o deliverance_n as_o any_o of_o those_o which_o have_v be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o ancestor_n ten_o we_o do_v affirm_v and_o can_v justify_v it_o that_o the_o man_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v the_o true_a right_a and_o only_a protestant_n and_o for_o this_o we_o dare_v appeal_v to_o the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o land_n to_o the_o hugonot_n of_o france_n and_o all_o the_o calvinistical_a and_o lutheran_n church_n abroad_o for_o whenever_o they_o write_v or_o speak_v of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n they_o mean_v that_o which_o be_v establish_v by_o law_n in_o our_o nation_n and_o because_o the_o

you_o will_v have_v long_a since_o forbear_v to_o persecute_v we_o with_o this_o slanderous_a accusation_n what_o be_v queen_n elizabeth_n a_o good_a protestant_n and_o now_o must_v the_o queen_n
