you_o again_o into_o the_o church_n wherein_o you_o receive_v the_o first_o mark_v of_o a_o christian_n but_o only_o by_o the_o common_a compassion_n which_o every_o honest_a and_o good_a nature_a

to_o extinguish_v the_o huguenot_n religion_n for_o we_o be_v so_o full_o satisfy_v of_o that_o which_o hitherto_o we_o have_v do_v unto_o they_o under_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o king_n that_o
