of_o our_o church_n he_o have_v but_o late_o apostatise_v from_o it_o and_o be_v but_o just_a enter_v into_o the_o romish_a faith_n therefore_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o give_v a_o unquestionable_a

must_v needs_o loathe_v his_o ill-breeding_a more_o than_o the_o buffonery_n of_o ostler_n and_o porter_n in_o one_o place_n he_o blame_v protestant_n for_o have_v no_o treatise_n of_o humility_n
