of_o denmark_n he_o be_v be_v a_o prince_n with_o who_o i_o can_v discourse_v about_o religion_n luther_n be_v never_o more_o earnest_a than_o this_o prince_n it_o be_v for_o this_o reason_n that_o

against_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o secure_v ourselves_o the_o best_a we_o can_v his_o majesty_n do_v we_o the_o honour_n to_o visit_v our_o college_n often_o and_o be_v most_o please_v when_o we_o

to_o preach_v now_o in_o the_o beginning_n as_o little_a as_o they_o can_v of_o the_o controversy_n because_o that_o provoke_v but_o to_o represent_v to_o they_o the_o beauty_n and_o antiquity_n of_o

do_v nothing_o by_o half_n and_o ever_o day_n mass_n be_v say_v upon_o this_o very_a occasion_n i_o have_v gain_v a_o very_a great_a point_n in_o persuade_v the_o king_n to_o place_v our_o father_n in_o madalen-colledg_n in_o oxon_n who_o will_v be_v able_a to_o tutor_v the_o young_a scholar_n in_o the_o roman_n catholic_n religion_n i_o rely_v much_o on_o father_n thomas_n fairfax_n to_o who_o

thing_n that_o may_v terrify_v and_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o a_o religious_a have_v need_n here_o of_o great_a prudence_n at_o this_o time_n that_o the_o king_n may_v hear_v of_o no_o complaint_n that_o may_v displease_v he_o and_o therefore_o we_o dare_v not_o at_o present_a do_v all_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a and_o bind_v to_o do_v hereafter_o for_o fear_v of_o too_o much_o hare_v the_o mobile_n i_o like_v well_o that_o father_n hales_n go_v to_o stay_v some_o time_n at_o the_o hague_n incognito_o on_o pretence_n of_o solicit_v for_o a_o place_n which_o be_v not_o soon_o to_o be_v get_v
