reason_n of_o this_o priest_n gibbens_n who_o with_o the_o mayor_n and_o the_o bailiff_n who_o do_v all_o three_o at_o last_o depart_v as_o they_o may_v with_o shame_n then_o be_v the_o many_o

say_v richard_n jones_n be_v accuse_v to_o his_o face_n for_o swear_v that_o time_n he_o come_v in_o upon_o we_o then_o roger_n clavil_n that_o shall_v have_v do_v justice_n upon_o these_o offender_n ask_v if_o we_o will_v take_v our_o oath_n that_o richard_n jones_n do_v swear_v and_o when_o he_o understand_v that_o we_o dare_v not_o go_v out_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n to_o swear_v than_o he_o fetch_v that_o call_v the_o oath_n of_o abjuration_n to_o ensnare_v we_o by_o but_o we_o tell_v he_o if_o it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o send_v we_o to_o prison_n he_o may_v do_v it_o without_o lay_v that_o snare_n for_o we_o and_o we_o say_v also_o he_o may_v offer_v that_o to_o the_o papist_n of_o the_o county_n now_o roger_n clavil_n take_v occasion_n against_o i_o because_o i_o
