for_o the_o same_o offence_n eftsoons_o be_v convict_v before_o the_o justice_n and_o likewise_o receive_v for_o the_o say_a offence_n punishment_n first_o by_o the_o justice_n shall_v not_o for_o

damage_n without_o his_o cause_n be_v legal_o hear_v and_o debate_v second_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a court_n legal_o to_o excommunicate_v the_o say_a jones_n for_o not_o take_v the_o sacrament_n at_o any_o such_o time_n as_o that_o court_n shall_v at_o their_o pleasure_n appoint_v there_o be_v but_o one_o time_n of_o the_o year_n name_v for_o
