parliament_n be_v wary_a what_o subsidy_n they_o give_v to_o the_o king_n because_o they_o have_v no_o account_n but_o now_o they_o care_v not_o how_o much_o they_o give_v of_o the_o subject_n money_n

3._o there_o must_v be_v some_o layman_n in_o the_o synod_n to_o overlook_a the_o clergy_n lest_o they_o spoil_v the_o civil_a work_n just_o as_o when_o the_o good_a woman_n put_v a_o cat_n into_o

you_o never_o hear_v of_o a_o council_n revoke_v a_o act_n of_o its_o own_o make_n they_o have_v be_v wary_a in_o that_o to_o keep_v up_o their_o infallibility_n if_o they_o do_v any_o thing_n they_o

subscribe_v in_o a_o synod_n or_o to_o the_o article_n of_o a_o synod_n be_v no_o such_o terrible_a thing_n as_o they_o make_v it_o because_o if_o i_o be_o of_o a_o synod_n it_o be_v agree_v either_o
