tyrannical_a power_n he_o go_v about_o to_o establish_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o prelate_n over_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n and_o good_n of_o man_n overturning_a from_o the_o

by_o the_o care_n take_v in_o the_o precede_a canon_n that_o here_o be_v little_a or_o nothing_o of_o moment_n leave_v arbitrary_a and_o then_o the_o ordinary_n will_v fall_v into_o a_o excess_n more_o dangerous_a to_o himself_o than_o his_o arbitrary_a punishment_n can_v be_v to_o he_o that_o suffer_v it_o if_o he_o offer_v to_o tyrannize_v for_o this_o clause_n wheresoever_o it_o be_v
