scarce_o have_v quarter-sermon_n the_o rejoynder_n answer_v 1._o that_o the_o cross_n have_v interpretation_n with_o it_o need_v not_o be_v interpret_v and_o that_o the_o surplice_n signify_v he_o do_v not_o well_o know_v what_o but_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o may_v be_v soon_o teach_v now_o that_o which_o he_o say_v of_o cross_n he_o may_v as_o well_o say_v of_o the_o sacrament_n that_o because_o in_o their_o administration_n they_o have_v the_o interpretation_n go_v along_o with_o they_o therefore_o no_o minister_n need_n much_o preach_v of_o they_o but_o indeed_o there_o be_v special_a need_n that_o the_o very_a interpretation_n which_o go_v along_o with_o the_o use_n of_o the_o cross_n shall_v be_v well_o interpret_v because_o few_o or_o none_o either_o of_o the_o

which_o may_v easy_o be_v devize_v by_o the_o same_o convocation_n as_o if_o they_o shall_v put_v a_o straw_n into_o the_o child_n hand_n in_o stead_n of_o a_o spear_n to_o signify_v that_o he_o
