to_o be_v christ_n minister_n compare_v themselves_o herewith_o and_o let_v this_o be_v consider_v by_o every_o true_a english_a man_n that_o if_o the_o rash_a inconsiderate_a unlawful_a proceed_v

to_o sit_v as_o a_o queen_n over_o man_n person_n liberty_n life_n and_o estate_n so_o that_o if_o people_n please_v not_o the_o church_n or_o that_o sect_n or_o sort_n of_o man_n that_o in_o a_o
