of_o high_a pretender_n to_o promote_v it_o by_o violence_n and_o force_n of_o arm_n when_o instead_o of_o exhortation_n to_o supplication_n prayer_n and_o intercession_n we_o have_v hear_v of_o

that_o this_o shall_v in_o the_o least_o touch_n or_o blemish_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n for_o we_o know_v now_o too_o well_o whence_o the_o doctrine_n come_v of_o rebel_a
