short_a answer_n to_o every_o one_o of_o they_o 1._o for_o religion_n my_o lord_n we_o say_v and_o we_o shall_v prove_v that_o he_o have_v be_v diligent_a indeed_o to_o favour_v innovation_n to_o

to_o yield_v up_o some_o part_n to_o the_o king_n that_o he_o may_v with_o more_o security_n enjoy_v the_o rest_n 4._o for_o the_o strength_n and_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n my_o lord_n in_o a_o time_n of_o peace_n he_o have_v let_v in_o upon_o we_o the_o calamity_n of_o war_n weakness_n shame_n and_o confusion_n 5._o and_o for_o the_o quiet_a of_o the_o subject_n he_o have_v

every_o man_n that_o hear_v i_o that_o i_o shall_v have_v time_n to_o clear_v a_o truth_n no_o man_n can_v deny_v it_o and_o therefore_o i_o humble_o pray_v i_o may_v not_o be_v sudden_o take_v

to_o that_o with_o all_o the_o humility_n and_o modesty_n in_o the_o world_n i_o will_v apply_v myself_o as_o not_o conceive_v it_o any_o way_n become_v i_o to_o speak_v any_o thing_n of_o sharpness_n
