conclude_v that_o the_o lay_v such_o restraint_n on_o so_o many_o faithful_a minister_n who_o may_v have_v be_v so_o eminent_o serviceable_a to_o their_o master_n be_v one_o of_o those_o provocation_n of_o the_o divine_a majesty_n under_o the_o effect_n whereof_o we_o groan_v and_o that_o therefore_o those_o who_o have_v be_v the_o procurer_n hereof_o aught_o to_o lament_v their_o sin_n and_o do_v

to_o you_o reverend_a father_n the_o ruler_n and_o guide_n of_o our_o church_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o reinforce_v my_o earnest_a request_n in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o common_a saviour_n that_o as_o
