Published for the common good of the Church and common wealth of this realme of England as a countermure against all sycophantising papsts, statising priestes, neutralising atheistes, and satanising scorners of all godlinesse, trueth and honestie.

yet_o be_v it_o above_o all_o other_o usual_o hit_v in_o our_o tooth_n namely_o they_o say_v we_o be_v like_o papist_n enemy_n to_o the_o church_n and_o sometime_o they_o say_v we_o be_v worse_o and_o
