of_o which_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o imagine_v what_o manifold_a use_v the_o factor_n for_o the_o roman_a see_v have_v make_v to_o the_o further_a of_o their_o own_o design_n which_o tend_v equal_o to_o

and_o while_o the_o one_o party_n of_o protestant_n have_v be_v cry_v out_o of_o schism_n and_o the_o other_o party_n of_o persecution_n the_o papist_n have_v to_o the_o reproach_n of_o both_o be_v

equal_o heretic_n i_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o believe_v that_o through_o the_o grandeur_n which_o the_o clergy_n be_v exalt_v unto_o the_o possession_n of_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o therefore_o our_o protestant_a bishop_n and_o other_o dignitaries_n of_o the_o english_a church_n shall_v think_v they_o the_o less_o dangerous_a but_o this_o i_o know_v that_o those_o vulgar_o

either_o to_o resist_v or_o oppose_v they_o and_o though_o i_o can_v say_v it_o upon_o my_o own_o knowledge_n yet_o i_o have_v cause_n to_o believe_v it_o from_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o thing_n as_o
