of_o the_o church_n may_v establish_v wherein_o certain_o say_v he_o they_o deal_v more_o advise_o then_o their_o neighbour_n who_o in_o mere_a detestation_n to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n abrogate_a such_o thing_n altogether_o which_o their_o abuse_n have_v defile_v though_o never_o so_o decent_a in_o themselves_o and_o allow_v in_o the_o primitive_a time_n and_o certain_o say_v he_o i_o

be_v very_o true_a as_o the_o say_v learned_a dr._n heylin_n very_o worthy_o observe_v that_o the_o jesuit_n and_o the_o puritan_n be_v the_o very_a disturber_n of_o our_o peace_n and_o a_o long_a
