that_o bull_n absolution_n and_o the_o pope_n excommunication_n be_v like_a to_o go_v far_o with_o the_o nation_n in_o popish_a time_n than_o they_o be_v like_a to_o do_v now_o and_o yet_o by_o your_o

it_o you_o must_v nice_o preserve_v the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o the_o national_a church_n and_o yet_o you_o must_v remember_v that_o the_o kngdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n you_o must_v take_v care_n in_o your_o civil_a compact_n that_o priestcraft_n do_v not_o spoil_v all_o at_o last_o you_o must_v take_v care_n even_o of_o a_o protestant_n in_o ordine_fw-la ad_fw-la
