and_o spiritual_a wisdom_n as_o the_o bishop_n and_o cardinal_n of_o rome_n be_v and_o the_o scripture_n be_v of_o more_o antiquity_n than_o the_o romish_a religion_n from_o whence_o he_o pretend_v

people_n a._n to_o you_o they_o may_v seem_v so_o but_o not_o to_o themselves_o nor_o to_o some_o other_o and_o they_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o condemn_v christian_n for_o barbarousness_n than_o we_o to_o condemn_v they_o for_o the_o act_n of_o the_o spaniard_n have_v be_v so_o inhuman_a with_o they_o they_o have_v overcome_v that_o it_o be_v certain_o know_v there_o have_v be_v 1100000_o of_o harmless_a indian_n in_o america_n cruel_o butcher_v without_o cause_n or_o offence_n give_v by_o they_o as_o their_o own_o writer_n report_v but_o as_o the_o persian_n seem_v to_o the_o

and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o why_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o take_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o ancient_a philosopher_n as_o of_o diogenes_n and_o other_o that_o live_v that_o course_n of_o life_n that_o
