christian_a burial_n and_o all_o this_o exemplify_v by_o the_o r.r._n father_n in_o god_n lancelot_n andrews_n late_a lord_n bishop_n of_o winchester_n but_o above_o all_o those_o admirable_a collection_n the_o great_a wonder_n be_v how_o any_o man_n dare_v print_n and_o revive_v as_o he_o do_v the_o proclamation_n of_o king_n charles_n i._n wherein_o the_o proceed_n of_o his_o majesty_n ecclesiastical_a court_n and_o minister_n be_v proclaim_v to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o this_o realm_n indeed_o when_o that_o proclamation_n be_v put_v out_o they_o be_v so_o the_o
