in_o that_o excellent_a book_n the_o protestant_n apology_n for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n 4_o whereas_o ceremony_n be_v the_o object_n of_o phantasy_n and_o we_o be_v so_o decent_a that_o no_o

which_o be_v direct_o opposite_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o duty_n prince_n owe_v to_o divine_a majesty_n whence_o also_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v a_o
