of_o that_o in_o particular_a to_o the_o argument_n i_o say_v many_o thing_n 1._o it_o be_v no_o paradox_n to_o say_v conscience_n itself_o though_o the_o body_n may_v can_v be_v force_v or_o

which_o it_o be_v rack_v the_o apostle_n and_o primitive_a christian_n when_o they_o have_v power_n in_o their_o hand_n as_o the_o great_a number_n do_v not_o so_o but_o plead_v and_o urge_v

not_o without_o the_o approbation_n of_o many_o priest_n and_o jesuit_n and_o the_o canonization_n of_o the_o chief_a contriver_n garnet_n at_o rome_n true_a protestant_n have_v ever_o hate_v such_o
