charity_n with_o the_o good_a primitive_a church_n these_o man_n may_v possible_o mean_v well_o but_o they_o seem_v only_o to_o consider_v how_o to_o go_v far_o enough_o from_o rome_n never_o

and_o the_o most_o honourable_a way_n to_o justisie_n our_o departure_n from_o they_o in_o point_n wherein_o we_o and_o they_o have_v so_o long_o depart_v from_o the_o ancient_a church_n which_o we_o
