true_a beauty_n of_o the_o church_n and_o in_o deed_n hereupon_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o the_o safety_n of_o our_o queen_n do_v depend_v and_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o if_o the_o queen_n be_v in_o danger_n we_o can_v look_v to_o sit_v safe_a i_o find_v among_o the_o learned_a that_o sincerity_n of_o religion_n and_o love_n of_o the_o people_n be_v two_o especial_a prop_n and_o pillar_n of_o the_o state_n of_o a_o prince_n for_o sincere_a religion_n teach_v to_o love_v sound_o and_o sound_a love_n quench_v all_o spark_n of_o disloyalty_n therefore_o i_o hold_v it_o for_o certain_a that_o religion_n and_o the_o queen_n safety_n can_v be_v sever_v for_o if_o religion_n flourish_v the_o queen_n must_v needs_o be_v safe_a and_o if_o the_o queen_n be_v safe_a religion_n must_v needs_o flourish_v and_o as_o i_o think_v they_o to_o deal_v unsound_o that_o seek_v to_o settle_v her_o safety_n without_o care_n of_o religion_n so_o must_v i_o deem_v they_o to_o deal_v hypocritical_o that_o speak_v much_o of_o religion_n without_o care_n of_o her_o safety_n for_o he_o that_o shall_v carry_v a_o right_n and_o sound_a care_n for_o queen_n elizabeth_n safety_n must_v first_o love_v religion_n and_o fear_v god_n according_a to_o that_o which_o constantius_n the_o emperor_n say_v who_o grieve_v at_o his_o people_n revolt_n from_o true_a religion_n upon_o trial_n that_o he_o make_v of_o they_o plain_o protest_v they_o that_o will_v not_o be_v true_a to_o god_n can_v never_o be_v true_a to_o man_n and_o therefore_o such_o of_o they_o as_o have_v any_o office_n he_o put_v they_o out_o such_o of_o they_o as_o be_v near_o about_o he_o he_o displace_v and_o free_v himself_o from_o the_o danger_n of_o such_o hollow-hearted_a subject_n and_o servant_n religion_n then_o be_v the_o true_a guide_n to_o every_o man_n conscience_n and_o hold_v every_o man_n conscience_n within_o the_o compass_n of_o true_a obedience_n and_o this_o obedience_n contain_v every_o good_a subject_n within_o the_o limit_n of_o true_a love_n and_o fear_v and_o where_o these_o two_o meet_v together_o they_o make_v a_o sweet_a harmony_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o every_o true_a subject_n for_o love_n nourish_v all_o care_n to_o please_v and_o obey_v and_o such_o fear_n expel_v all_o disposition_n to_o offend_v and_o both_o join_v together_o with_o a_o feel_a consent_n to_o yield_v continual_a thanks_o to_o the_o almighty_a for_o deliver_v our_o sovereign_n from_o danger_n and_o to_o pray_v daily_a and_o hourly_o to_o his_o majesty_n that_o he_o will_v in_o mercy_n protect_v we_o still_o this_o peril_n depend_v it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v provident_a for_o as_o war_n be_v denounce_v and_o threaten_v from_o foreign_a part_n so_o conspiracy_n lie_v and_o lurk_v

all_o at_o one_o mark_n our_o religion_n they_o will_v alter_v &_o thereby_o bring_v our_o conscience_n into_o thraldom_n our_o government_n they_o will_v change_v and_o thereby_o bring_v our_o body_n into_o slavery_n and_o to_o effect_v these_o the_o more_o easy_o the_o life_n of_o our_o sacred_a sovereign_n they_o will_v shorten_v and_o thereby_o bring_v all_o misery_n and_o mischief_n upon_o

the_o life_n of_o religion_n of_o queen_n and_o country_n be_v at_o the_o stake_n he_o that_o be_v sick_a of_o a_o dangerous_a disease_n look_v not_o into_o his_o ability_n what_o he_o can_v spare_v
