and_o now_o one_o will_v think_v that_o the_o man_n that_o will_v be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o make_v this_o comparison_n will_v bring_v something_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o belief_n of_o christ_n

to_o give_v we_o a_o cast_n of_o his_o heretical_a malice_n by_o blacken_v this_o doctrine_n as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v and_o by_o make_v it_o look_v something_o more_o of_o a_o romanish_a
