again_o erect_v by_o the_o holy_a gospel_n the_o like_a be_v also_o to_o be_v read_v in_o his_o 7._o tom._n title_n of_o resistance_n for_o the_o space_n of_o ten_o leaf_n together_o where_o he_o distinguish_v between_o the_o emperor_n as_o emperor_n and_o between_o the_o emperor_n as_o be_v set_v on_o and_o stir_v up_o by_o the_o pope_n to_o make_v war_n and_o even_o so_o conclude_v in_o respect_n of_o aid_n and_o assistance_n to_o be_v give_v or_o not_o as_o we_o have_v above_o conclude_v now_o if_o man_n shall_v lay_v all_o this_o which_o have_v be_v here_o prove_v and_o allege_v although_o it_o be_v but_o very_o short_a on_o the_o golden_a balance_n of_o their_o conscience_n then_o will_v the_o matter_n itself_o teach_v they_o that_o they_o be_v to_o follow_v the_o apostle_n

devise_v and_o think_v upon_o for_o the_o procure_n of_o their_o assure_a ease_n liberty_n peace_n and_o quietness_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o we_o think_v ourselves_o bind_v in_o duty_n
