there_o be_v law_n that_o declare_v every_o person_n of_o the_o realm_n guilty_a of_o high-treason_n who_o shall_v keep_v correspondence_n with_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n and_o who_o shall_v hide_v priest_n and_o monk_n there_o be_v law_n enough_o for_o the_o security_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n the_o parliament_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o put_v those_o law_n into_o strict_a

to_o bear_v down_o popery_n which_o show_v herself_o bare_a face_a neither_o be_v there_o any_o new_a law_n necessary_a to_o oppose_v the_o king_n and_o to_o declare_v he_o incapable_a of_o the_o
