to_o the_o vanity_n of_o his_o own_o mind_n that_o for_o just_a cause_n we_o be_v provoke_v thus_o to_o contend_v the_o first_o difference_n therefore_o be_v take_v from_o the_o matter_n of_o work_n work_n for_o the_o papist_n do_v place_n their_o chief_a work_n and_o worship_n in_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n the_o which_o they_o prefer_v before_o god_n comaundemente_n which_o tradition_n for_o
