in_o god_n only_o therefore_o he_o only_o be_v to_o be_v pray_v unto_o that_o distinction_n touch_v invocation_n and_o advocation_n that_o albeit_o you_o allow_v not_o the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n

who_o stand_v so_o hard_o for_o invocation_n of_o saint_n shall_v grant_v it_o we_o to_o be_v a_o thing_n indifferent_a for_o indeed_o it_o be_v the_o safe_a way_n to_o go_v to_o the_o fountain_n of_o
