my_o defender_n at_o london_n print_v by_o robert_n waldegrave_n 1584._o to_o the_o christian_a reader_n gentle_a reader_n thou_o be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o in_o this_o our_o church_n of_o england_n there_o have_v be_v a_o schism_n for_o sundry_a year_n which_o of_o late_o be_v grow_v so_o strong_a that_o unless_o the_o lord_n look_v upon_o we_o in_o great_a mercy_n it_o will_v in_o short_a

my_o suit_n unto_o thou_o gentle_a reader_n be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o thou_o will_v well_o weigh_v and_o judge_v upright_o which_o part_n follow_v the_o step_n of_o the_o bless_a apostle_n

for_o any_o matter_n whatsoever_o i_o will_v therefore_o note_v some_o particular_a cause_n to_o show_v the_o truth_n of_o my_o word_n he_o that_o will_v be_v the_o faithful_a servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n must_v stand_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o not_o hold_v his_o tongue_n when_o the_o course_n thereof_o be_v stay_v and_o hinder_v but_o the_o preacher_n be_v so_o

be_v not_o hinder_v i_o will_v to_o god_n a_o true_a suruaye_v be_v make_v that_o first_o all_o those_o which_o have_v faithful_o labour_v who_o they_o term_v puritan_n be_v set_v aside_o they_o
