that_o you_o do_v not_o teach_v the_o people_n that_o it_o may_v be_v lawful_a for_o they_o in_o some_o case_n to_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o their_o king_n but_o you_o plain_o do_v that_o which_o be_v almost_o as_o bad_a you_o endeavour_v to_o persuade_v the_o people_n that_o that_o way_n of_o worship_v god_n in_o public_a which_o be_v practise_v by_o the_o king_n and_o the_o bishop_n be_v

such_o upon_o the_o mind_n of_o other_o what_o a_o argument_n be_v this_o which_o some_o of_o you_o have_v print_v that_o the_o common-prayer_n can_v please_v god_n because_o it_o please_v the_o papist_n which_o i_o have_v answer_v or_o rather_o expose_v to_o contempt_n in_o a_o small_a treatise_n i_o late_o publish_v what_o a_o argument_n be_v this_o against_o that_o excellent_a hymn_n
