also_o unlawful_a because_o papist_n shift_n and_o so_o conclude_v cleanliness_n to_o be_v as_o superstitious_a as_o surplice_n or_o cope_n sir_n you_o may_v call_v this_o poetry_n but_o there_o be_v

be_v to_o be_v turn_v out_o of_o the_o world_n &_o so_o a_o new_a map_n to_o be_v make_v of_o it_o where_o these_o place_n be_v not_o because_o they_o be_v the_o pope_n territory_n and_o lie_v under_o
