trifle_n folly_n babble_n into_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v deliver_v new_a thing_n and_o which_o the_o scripture_n never_o hear_v of_o whatsoever_o they_o cry_v or_o crake_v they_o bring_v

dissemble_v nothing_o feign_v nothing_o be_v unfearefull_a free_a bold_a to_o show_v her_o face_n and_o high_a wherefore_o as_o long_a as_o we_o speak_v the_o truth_n let_v not_o the_o force_n or_o

the_o old_a manner_n of_o comedy_n the_o next_o thing_n be_v that_o a_o preacher_n have_v not_o to_o great_a a_o conceit_n of_o himself_o but_o that_o he_o think_v that_o that_o function_n and_o
