ready_a at_o all_o time_n as_o our_o saviour_n teach_v to_o scatter_v tare_n among_o the_o good_a seed_n and_o consider_v in_o these_o time_n we_o see_v with_o our_o eye_n that_o this_o be_v come_v

that_o the_o author_n of_o the_o reformation_n here_o have_v no_o purpose_n to_o erect_v any_o new_a church_n as_o the_o ignorant_a and_o malicious_a do_v cavil_n but_o to_o repair_v the_o ruin_n of_o
