catholic_n be_v subject_a unto_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o power_n malice_n &_o iniquity_n of_o private_a adversary_n when_o they_o listen_v seinge_v that_o public_a law_n do_v yield_v so_o much_o authority_n to_o everye_o man_n almost_o that_o woold_v seek_v a_o cavil_n or_o slander_v against_o they_o to_o begin_v therefore_o with_o thes_n law_n it_o be_v first_o to_o be_v know_v that_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o law_n at_o divers_a time_n set_v forth_o in_o dissavoure_n and_o punishment_n of_o the_o catholic_a law_n religion_n the_o one_o which_o concern_v money_n possession_n and_o other_o good_n both_o of_o fortune_n &_o body_n which_o i_o think_v may_v be_v call_v penal_a or_o money_n law_n the_o other_o which_o may_v rather_o be_v call_v bloody_a or_o capital_a law_n for_o that_o they_o inflict_v death_n unto_o the_o offender_n and_o to_o this_o division_n of_o law_n will_v i_o apply_v my_o speech_n folowinge_v amongst_o the_o penal_a law_n i_o will_v law_n put_v that_o as_o first_o which_o be_v make_v amongst_o the_o last_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o those_o which_o for_o conscience_n sake_n refuse_v to_o come_v to_o the_o protestant_n church_n for_o this_o point_n the_o adversary_n urge_v great_o that_o all_o beyt_n the_o catholic_n be_v of_o a_o other_o religion_n though_o they_o detest_v caluinisme_n in_o their_o heart_n though_o they_o abhor_v all_o prayer_n and_o conventicle_n of_o the_o minister_n and_o account_v their_o service_n for_o most_o wicked_a &_o blasphemouse_n yet_o must_v they_o come_v to_o it_o they_o must_v assist_v and_o show_v themselves_o present_a albeyt_v with_o a_o repine_a and_o resistinge_v conscience_n and_o because_o recusant_n some_o do_v refuse_v to_o synn_v in_o such_o horrible_a wise_n against_o god_n and_o their_o own_o conscience_n therefore_o this_o law_n be_v make_v against_o these_o scrupulous_a man_n for_o soothe_v that_o protestant_n who_o so_o ever_o shall_v refuse_v to_o come_v to_o the_o
