thus_o catholic_a faith_n be_v prejudice_v for_o want_n of_o wise_a comportment_n in_o the_o defendant_n there_o be_v also_o another_o little_a defect_n in_o some_o late_a catholic_a writer_n that_o in_o their_o controversy_n with_o protestant_n wherein_o they_o hold_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o pray_v unto_o saint_n they_o consider_v not_o that_o they_o mean_v it_o one_o way_n and_o their_o
