what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o when_o a_o woman_n say_v unto_o christ_n 11.27_o luk._n 11.27_o blessed_n be_v the_o womb_n that_o bear_v thou_o and_o the_o pap_n which_o thou_o have_v suck_v i_o say_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o our_o lord_n make_v she_o this_o answer_n 28._o 28._o yea_o rather_o bless_v be_v they_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o i_o say_v again_o why_o do_v he_o say_v so_o if_o it_o be_v better_a for_o people_n not_o to_o hear_v then_o to_o hear_v god_n word_n by_o the_o way_n be_v it_o remember_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n say_v it_o be_v a_o blessedness_n to_o hear_v god_n word_n and_o the_o pope_n who_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o be_v the_o deputy_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o a_o blessedness_n he_o forbid_v it_o if_o any_o understanding_n conscionable_a roman_a catholic_a be_v between_o god_n and_o his_o own_o soul_n to_o tell_v what_o he_o think_v to_o be_v the_o main_a cause_n why_o the_o pope_n do_v not_o allow_v god_n word_n to_o be_v common_o buy_v and_o sell_v in_o italy_n spain_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o to_o be_v read_v in_o church_n my_o conscience_n give_v i_o that_o he_o will_v say_v thus_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a that_o thereby_o many_o will_v be_v draw_v from_o his_o obedience_n and_o many_o thing_n which_o be_v now_o in_o great_a request_n among_o the_o people_n shall_v then_o be_v despise_v as_o sure_o as_o the_o lord_n god_n live_v i_o take_v this_o to_o be_v the_o main_a cause_n a_o great_a number_n of_o thing_n in_o that_o religion_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n stand_v if_o the_o book_n of_o god_n be_v common_o to_o be_v have_v in_o the_o people_n own_o language_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o suffer_v to_o hear_v god_n speak_v i_o appeal_v to_o the_o

it_o be_v quite_o contrary_a i_o do_v most_o humble_o entreat_v all_o english_a man_n and_o woman_n i_o entreat_v they_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o they_o will_v

this_o to_o keep_v poor_a people_n in_o blindness_n and_o ignorance_n i_o have_v upon_o my_o conscience_n and_o in_o charity_n without_o any_o thought_n of_o personal_a reproach_n unto_o any_o one_o
