matter_n what_o it_o be_v to_o let_v the_o true_a christian_a religion_n i_o do_v mean_v those_o which_o be_v confirmable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o christian_a rule_n and_o good_a manner_n on_o

to_o a_o other_o the_o boy_n shall_v presume_v against_o the_o elder_n and_o the_o vile_a person_n against_o the_o honourable_a because_o say_v the_o prophet_n that_o both_o their_o word_n and_o
