thereof_o we_o must_v obey_v the_o magistrate_n and_o that_o we_o also_o do_v see_v that_o those_o thing_n ever_o have_v be_v and_o shall_v be_v diverse_a as_o the_o time_n and_o place_n be_v and_o yet_o all_o have_v please_v god_n so_o long_o as_o humility_n or_o hart_n innocence_n of_o live_v know_v of_o god_n charity_n and_o love_n to_o our_o neighbour_n with_o obedience_n to_o god_n word_n

when_o they_o come_v to_o take_v the_o communion_n or_o to_o hear_v or_o say_v the_o service_n appoint_v by_o the_o king_n majesty_n they_o must_v bring_v devotion_n and_o inward_a prayer_n with_o
