change_n to_o make_v address_n sometime_o for_o this_o sometim_n for_o that_o and_o oft_o themselves_o know_v not_o for_o what_o next_o with_o our_o thanks_o as_o we_o can_v give_v it_o from_o honest_a heart_n you_o may_v believe_v it_o it_o be_v know_v so_o to_o the_o whole_a nation_n that_o we_o use_v no_o diffimulation_n but_o tell_v our_o mind_n like_o honest_a fe'low_n for_o which_o our_o brethren_n get_v the_o gallow_n now_o let_v your_o wisdom_n sir_n inherent_a lead_v you_o forth_o as_o god_n vicegerent_n that_o you_o revive_v the_o good_a old_a cause_n re-establish_a fundamental_a law_n and_o covenant_n that_o better_a far_o then_o test_n that_o do_v with_o itself_o jar_n who_o tenor_n if_o you_o keep_v and_o scope_n then_o sir_n you_o need_v not_o fear_v the_o pope_n put_v down_o the_o prelate_n and_o all_o those_o that_o give_v your_o neck_n so_o to_o your_o foe_n and_o make_v heaven_n darling_n when_o they_o please_v it_o you_o their_o learned_a address_n revise_v whole_a pride_n and_o avarice_n be_v such_o as_o be_v not_o ken_v among_o the_o dutch_a they_o be_v not_o such_o bishop_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v describe_v in_o their_o epistle_n first_o they_o be_v not_o apt_a to_o teach_v since_o once_o a_o year_n they_o do_v but_o preach_v and_o seldom_o that_o unless_o it_o fare_v they_o preach_v at_o great_a man_n funeral_n where_o with_o great_a freedom_n they_o will_v lie_v in_o the_o bless_a chair_n of_o verity_n not_o give_v to_o wine_n the_o apostle_n say_v hamiltons_n practice_n this_o deny_v who_o have_v be_v so_o much_o give_v to_o

we_o will_v he_o send_v to_o collington_n of_o filthy_a lucre_n they_o be_v not_o free_a their_o benefice_n do_v testify_v and_o far_o that_o do_v we_o enrage_v they_o lord_n over_o god_n heritage_n which_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n in_o our_o sight_n if_o we_o do_v read_v the_o bible_n right_a if_o such_o be_v unreprovable_a we_o to_o yourself_o sir_n do_v appeal_n that_o they_o want_v bishop_n quality_n it_o be_v make_v out_o your_o highness_n see_v we_o love_v not_o much_o sir_n to_o reflect_v but_o we_o must_v villainy_n delect_v when_o we_o do_v see_v it_o in_o a_o lown_n though_o it_o be_v cover_v with_o a_o gown_n therefore_o again_o we_o do_v obtest_v you_o purge_v the_o land_n of_o they_o and_o test_n for_o it_o be_v know_v they_o be_v not_o free_a of_o bloodshed_n and_o of_o
