A19588	The sermon preached at the Crosse, Feb. xiiij. 1607. By W. Crashawe, Batchelour of Diuinitie, and preacher at the temple; iustified by the authour, both against papist, and Brownist, to be the truth: wherein, this point is principally followed; namely, that the religion of Rome, as now it stands established, is worse then euer it was.

that_o glad_o they_o will_v have_v stay_v but_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n they_o can_v not_o if_o this_o be_v true_a than_o they_o have_v conscience_n before_o they_o leave_v we_o then_o where_o
