wonderful_a thing_n to_o see_v a_o bishop_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n as_o modest_a as_o a_o simple_a priest_n whilst_o i_o be_o make_v you_o my_o confession_n i_o shall_v tell_v you_o some_o

bishop_n as_o also_o other_o ecclesiastical_a superior_n i_o can_v but_o look_v upon_o you_o all_o as_o upon_o stage-player_n and_o upon_o your_o religion_n but_o as_o upon_o a_o mere_a comedy_n when_o the_o court_n command_v you_o to_o maintain_v the_o pope_n infallibility_n you_o scruple_v not_o to_o anathematise_v all_o those_o who_o oppose_v this_o imaginary_a privilege_n when_o the_o
