rather_o every_o discreet_a person_n will_v bold_o affirm_v that_o such_o as_o so_o do_v be_v unworthy_a of_o regiment_n if_o we_o will_v not_o deny_v that_o which_o christ_n jesus_n affirm_v to_o

to_o prove_v the_o same_o that_o more_o wicked_a man_n than_o be_v the_o whole_a rabble_n of_o your_o clergy_n be_v never_o from_o the_o beginning_n universal_o know_v in_o any_o age_n yea_o sodom_n
