can_v it_o not_o be_v overthrow_v without_o give_v some_o spiritual_a interpretation_n unto_o the_o manducation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n but_o straight_o as_o soon_o as_o a_o man_n come_v there_o

to_o their_o content_n as_o england_n scotland_n and_o denmark_n &_o the_o most_o part_n of_o almaign_n i_o believe_v also_o if_o man_n do_v assay_v it_o in_o france_n to_o obtain_v peace_n and_o

and_o habit_n be_v so_o much_o the_o better_a shall_v the_o mass_n be_v &_o then_o will_v there_o be_v find_v great_a inequality_n in_o the_o bounty_n and_o goodness_n of_o mass_n and_o so_o will_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o mass_n of_o rich_a man_n shall_v be_v better_o than_o poor_a man_n a_o thing_n very_o absurd_a and_o odious_a that_o be_v also_o to_o make_v village_n mass_n of_o no_o

all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o exercise_n of_o religion_n alike_o the_o catholic_n go_v to_o the_o church_n to_o pray_v unto_o god_n so_o do_v we_o also_o they_o go_v to_o hear_v sermon_n of_o the_o
