the_o honest_a man_n then_o be_v there_o spéech_v have_v about_o those_o man_n they_o call_v puritan_n and_o precisian_n and_o the_o bishop_n affirm_v it_o twice_o over_o that_o he_o think_v in_o

have_v a_o tender_a care_n over_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n i_o stand_v not_o on_o the_o word_n puritan_n but_o if_o a_o man_n be_v a_o honest_a man_n what_o ever_o he_o be_v i_o do_v approve_v of_o he_o indeed_o my_o lord_n quoth_v he_o it_o may_v be_v there_o may_v be_v some_o hypocrite_n that_o may_v have_v that_o name_n put_v upon_o they_o as_o you_o know_v among_o our_o saviour_n
