of_o mr._n anisworthe_n company_n testify_v against_o their_o separation_n &_o iustify_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n be_v for_o this_o unjust_o excommunicate_a of_o

to_o turn_v they_o away_o from_o the_o lord_n their_o god_n &_o have_v persuade_v they_o to_o go_v after_o other_o god_n and_o to_o serve_v they_o &_o all_o this_o only_a for_o persuade_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o hear_v a_o sermon_n in_o the_o church_n of_o engl._n to_o pray_v with_o they_o &c_n &c_n in_o this_o proceed_n they_o declare_v that_o they_o hold_v the_o church_n of_o engl._n to_o

therefore_o no_o marvel_n if_o according_a to_o this_o opinion_n they_o speak_v of_o their_o special_a god_n intend_v a_o other_o god_n who_o we_o know_v not_o this_o may_v yet_o further_o appear_v in_o the_o speech_n of_o delecluse_n who_o be_v blame_v for_o his_o schism_n from_o the_o french_a church_n have_v here_o upon_o condemn_a that_o reform_a church_n as_o have_v christ_n to_o be_v

according_a to_o these_o speech_n it_o be_v not_o strange_a nor_o inconsequent_a that_o he_o shall_v mean_v his_o special_a god_n in_o the_o forename_a phrase_n jemar_n the_o monstrous_a arrian_n
