most_o necessary_a as_o true_a token_n and_o sign_n of_o a_o perfect_v faith_n they_o cry_v out_o against_o sin_n they_o persuade_v the_o queen_n subject_n to_o obey_v &_o love_v her_o majesty_n all_o which_o i_o be_o sure_a agree_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o if_o your_o preacher_n that_o you_o shall_v hear_v preach_v contrary_a that_o be_v that_o you_o may_v be_v save_v by_o some_o other_o mean_n as_o by_o mass_n trental_n dirge_n or_o by_o the_o pope_n pardon_n and_o if_o they_o will_v animate_v and_o bolden_v you_o to_o disobey_v your_o lawful_a queen_n and_o sovereign_a and_o will_v preach_v remission_n of_o sin_n to_o all_o man_n that_o will_v fight_v in_o the_o pope_n quarrel_n whether_o it_o be_v right_a or_o wrong_n yea_o though_o it_o be_v against_o their_o own_o king_n or_o country_n you_o may_v call_v it_o y_o e_o word_n of_o god_n but_o i_o be_o out_o of_o doubt_v it_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o devil_n therefore_o the_o premise_n well_o weigh_v and_o consider_v if_o you_o shall_v require_v at_o the_o queen_n hand_n to_o use_v fréelye_o the_o romishe_a religion_n without_o check_n or_o controlment_n true_o you_o know_v then_o no_o more_o what_o you_o ask_v of_o her_o grace_n than_o the_o say_v pirate_n or_o thief_n do_v know_v what_o they_o ask_v of_o their_o king_n or_o the_o fond_a scholar_n of_o their_o schoolmaster_n but_o if_o the_o queen_n majesty_n can_v not_o have_v your_o love_n but_o upon_o that_o condition_n then_o she_o be_v better_a to_o have_v your_o hatred_n in_o deny_v you_o than_o your_o love_n in_o grant_v you_o but_o what_o if_o a_o king_n shall_v grant_v such_o a_o liberty_n to_o pirate_n and_o thief_n as_o mogallus_n do_v once_o king_n of_o scot_n and_o the_o schoolmaster_n to_o his_o scholar_n chron._n may_v not_o wise_a man_n judge_v that_o the_o one_o be_v more_o meet_a to_o be_v a_o cobbler_n than_o a_o king_n and_o the_o other_o more_o fit_a to_o be_v a_o crow-kéepe_a than_o a_o schoolmaster_n yes_o true_o but_o though_o you_o will_v most_o glad_o have_v such_o a_o liberty_n yet_o at_o her_o grace_n hand_n you_o be_v never_o like_a to_o have_v it_o which_o you_o know_v well_o enough_o for_o her_o grace_n be_v too_o wise_a and_o too_o goodly_a to_o grant_v for_o uncertain_a love_n a_o certain_a mischief_n for_o if_o her_o highness_n shall_v grant_v you_o this_o liberty_n y_o it_o be_v to_o use_v your_o romish_a religion_n free_o only_o to_o have_v your_o good_a will_n and_o love_n will_v you_o then_o love_v she_o unfeigned_o i_o hardly_o believe_v it_o for_o it_o will_v scant_v stand_v with_o your_o religion_n to_o love_v faithful_o a_o pure_a protestaunt_a who_o ever_o he_o be_v which_o love_v god_n word_n yea_o though_o he_o live_v never_o so_o godly_a nay_o perhaps_o therefore_o you_o will_v hate_v he_o the_o more_o for_o if_o he_o be_v a_o papist_n indeed_o that_o be_v a_o sound_n &_o perfect_a papist_n he_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o carry_v fi●e_n &_o faggot_n three_o or_o four_o mile_n yea_o and_o further_o if_o need_n be_v to_o burn_v a_o protestant_n though_o it_o be_v his_o brother_n sister_n or_o the_o near_a kin_n or_o best_a friend_n he_o have_v or_o

so_o if_o you_o have_v it_o again_o in_o her_o life_n time_n it_o must_v be_v bring_v in_o by_o force_n and_o as_o the_o queen_n be_v the_o champion_n of_o god_n word_n to_o keep_v out_o idolatry_n

by_o this_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o god_n do_v direct_o against_o his_o promise_n but_o assure_v yourselves_o though_o your_o presumptuous_a pope_n and_o his_o obedient_a prelate_n may_v be_v
