and_o cause_n to_o fall_v when_o those_o man_n who_o duty_n it_o be_v to_o draw_v other_o from_o the_o affection_n of_o this_o world_n do_v by_o their_o continual_a conversation_n in_o this_o world_n teach_v man_n to_o love_v the_o world_n and_o by_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n cast_v they_o down_o headlong_o into_o hell_n moreover_o in_o such_o priest_n that_o be_v so_o employ_v there_o must_v needs_o follow_v hypocrisy_n for_o when_o they_o be_v so_o mix_v and_o confuse_a with_o lay-people_n under_o the_o garment_n and_o habit_n of_o a_o priest_n they_o live_v plain_o after_o the_o

the_o four_o evil_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o o_o father_n o_o priest_n by_o which_o we_o be_v conformable_a to_o this_o world_n by_o which_o the_o face_n of_o the_o church_n be_v make_v

this_o age_n we_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o contradiction_n of_o lay-people_n but_o they_o be_v not_o so_o much_o contrary_n to_o we_o as_o we_o be_v to_o ourselves_o their_o contrariness_n hurt_v
