eternal_a majesty_n as_o among_o woman_n she_o be_v blessed_v above_o all_o be_v above_o all_o full_a of_o grace_n so_o among_o saint_n i_o believe_v she_o be_v supreme_a in_o glory_n and_o it_o be_v a_o infallible_a truth_n that_o as_o the_o romanist_n do_v dishonour_n she_o much_o by_o their_o superstitious_a honourable_a seem_a attribute_n so_o on_o the_o other_o part_n it_o be_v hellish_a and_o odious_a to_o god_n and_o good_a man_n either_o to_o forget_v she_o or_o which_o be_v worse_o to_o remember_v she_o with_o impure_a thought_n or_o unbeseeming_a speech_n for_o the_o excellency_n of_o so_o divine_a a_o creature_n i_o confess_v myself_o the_o mean_a of_o man_n and_o most_o unworthy_a of_o all_o to_o write_v of_o she_o that_o be_v the_o best_a of_o woman_n but_o my_o hope_n be_v
