answer_v make_v by_o the_o king_n highness_n to_o the_o petition_n of_o the_o rebel_n in_o yorkshire_n ❧_o anno._n m.d.xxxvi_o first_o as_o touching_n the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o faith_n the_o term_n be_v so_o general_a that_o it_o will_v be_v very_o hard_a to_o make_v certain_a answer_n to_o the_o same_o but_o if_o they_o mean_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o which_o all_o christian_a man_n be_v only_o bind_v we_o declare_v and_o protest_v ourself_o to_o be_v that_o prince_n that_o do_v intend_v and_o have_v always_o mind_v to_o live_v and_o dye_v in_o the_o

marvel_v therefore_o moche_n that_o ignorant_a people_n will_v go_v about_o to_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o instruct_v and_o teach_v we_o which_o have_v be_v note_v something_n learn_v what_o the_o

this_o we_o dare_v affirm_v that_o mean_v what_o church_n they_o list_v we_o have_v do_v nothing_o that_o may_v not_o be_v abyden_n by_o both_o by_o goddis_fw-la law_n and_o man_n law_n or_o that_o
