Proved by the laws and pract[i]ce of twenty Kings of Judah, England, and France as also by the testimonies of the Universities of Oxford and Prague, fifty four of ... nobles of Bohemia and Morania, two hundred and fifty years agone, and als[o] one hundred and twenty authors beside.

the_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n i_o be_o now_o to_o show_v and_o not_o
