force_n but_o by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n if_o it_o do_v please_v the_o almighty_a god_n to_o alter_v our_o heart_n than_o no_o doubt_n but_o we_o shall_v be_v change_v as_o yet_o we_o do_v stand_v to_o maintain_v the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n to_o be_v our_o true_a church_n who_o we_o do_v now_o sight_n under_o therefore_o we_o do_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o our_o conscience_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v i_o pray_v you_o do_v but_o consider_v how_o stiff_o the_o protestant_n do_v stand_v to_o maintain_v their_o religion_n in_o q._n mary_n day_n when_o she_o prosecute_v they_o to_o their_o life_n and_o do_v put_v so_o many_o to_o death_n both_o by_o fire_n and_o other_o torment_n yet_o they_o will_v not_o alter_v their_o religion_n that_o former_o they_o profess_v because_o it_o be_v ground_v in_o they_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n as_o they_o do_v believe_v therefore_o no_o force_n can_v prevail_v with_o they_o but_o they_o have_v rather_o suffer_v all_o the_o affliction_n that_o possible_o can_v be_v invent_v against_o they_o then_o to_o alter_v their_o religion_n the_o which_o they_o have_v be_v former_o ground_v in_o worthy_a sr._n consider_v our_o estate_n for_o
