also_o to_o send_v holy_a water_n of_o most_o godly_a council_n to_o quench_v they_o the_o three_o cause_n be_v to_o styrr_v up_o all_o devoute_a catholykes_n not_o learn_v in_o the_o latin_a tongue_n to_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o the_o queen_n majesty_n that_o as_o she_o have_v good_a councelloure_n abroad_o in_o far_a country_n so_o she_o may_v have_v good_a councelloure_n at_o home_n in_o her_o
