the_o deportment_n of_o the_o bishop_n and_o the_o loyal_a clergy_n may_v be_v best_a know_v by_o their_o adhering_n to_o the_o crown-side_n and_o the_o endeavour_n that_o be_v use_v to_o render_v

if_o any_o of_o the_o bishop_n in_o the_o house_n of_o peer_n countenance_v that_o bill_n which_o occasion_v such_o bitter_a and_o bite_a speech_n or_o such_o sly_a insinuate_a gird_n against_o they_o as_o if_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o enroll_v themselves_o under_o the_o banner_n of_o st._n peter_n and_o betray_v the_o protestant_a interest_n rather_o than_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o warm_a beam_n
