9_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v for_o that_o one_o principal_a cause_n bind_v they_o in_o conscience_n not_o to_o go_v to_o the_o service_n of_o a_o different_a or_o opposite_a religion_n to_o

private_a man_n of_o his_o own_o authority_n every_o man_n see_v that_o it_o will_v rather_o diminish_v then_o increase_v the_o obligation_n of_o recusancy_n and_o so_o m._n attorney_n when_o he_o
