this_o power_n with_o the_o 12._o as_o for_o deliver_v up_o to_o satan_n and_o inflict_a disease_n since_o it_o be_v a_o miraculous_a power_n which_o we_o read_v not_o that_o christ_n appropriate_v

dignify_v themselves_o above_o and_o distinguish_v themselves_o from_o their_o brothren_n yet_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o submit_v to_o those_o power_n which_o the_o law_n of_o england_n have_v give_v to_o the_o bishop_n though_o what_o they_o claim_v by_o divine_a right_n i_o esteem_v as_o a_o usurpation_n moreover_o say_v he_o although_o i_o be_o become_v a_o christian_n i_o have_v not_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o englishman_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n can_v be_v in_o party_n with_o the_o bishop_n who_o by_o their_o false-prerogative_n doctrine_n and_o other_o shameful_a assistance_n so_o late_o

some_o of_o the_o chief_a of_o their_o party_n against_o his_o majesty_n right_a to_o the_o crown_n nor_o how_o careful_a they_o have_v be_v since_o that_o as_o it_o now_o fall_v out_o he_o shall_v
