such_o a_o meddler_n nor_o have_v i_o mind_n or_o mean_n so_o high_a to_o mount_v a_o little_a i_o can_v read_v and_o cast_v account_n my_o wit_n be_v weak_a to_o utter_v rhyme_n or_o reason_n i_o know_v not_o what_o you_o call_v your_o keirieleison_n so_o help_v i_o god_n sir_n john_n i_o know_v no_o better_o nor_o in_o your_o latin_a can_v i_o read_v a_o letter_n for_o latin_a be_v a_o

she_o for_o it_o at_o any_o time_n your_o helper_n be_v priest_n read_v but_o the_o legend_n pedlar_n and_o there_o view_v her_o miracle_n approve_v her_o honour_n due_a for_o which_o the_o pope_n in_o latin_a do_v prefer_v that_o mass_n and_o matin_n must_v be_v say_v to_o she_o read_v and_o consider_v and_o believe_v it_o well_o or_o else_o thou_o be_v at_o least_o half_a way_n in_o hell_n ped._n sure_a hell_n be_v not_o within_o the_o pope_n commission_n though_o purgatory_n and_o the_o inquisition_n be_v thing_n which_o he_o himself_o of_o late_o create_v yet_o of_o small_a worth_n by_o wise_a man_n they_o be_v rate_v i_o answer_v i_o oft_o before_o have_v say_v i_o love_v and_o reverence_n that_o bless_a mother_n maid_n but_o i_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o when_o i_o pray_v

think_v such_o man_n as_o you_o shall_v clear_v all_o case_n priest_n now_o pedlar_n i_o confess_v thou_o put_v i_o to_o it_o but_o one_o thing_n i_o will_v tell_v thou_o if_o thou_o will_v do_v it_o
