law_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o sacrament_n one_o will_v think_v that_o man_n conscience_n shall_v herein_o be_v a_o law_n unto_o themselves_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n to_o

to_o religion_n nevertheless_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v ill_o nurture_v that_o will_v do_v nothing_o without_o beat_v and_o very_o strange_a it_o be_v that_o man_n shall_v constant_o wait_v upon_o

that_o fountain_n which_o be_v open_v in_o his_o side_n run_v yet_o afresh_o &_o have_v a_o everlasting_a virtue_n to_o cleanse_v we_o from_o the_o leprosy_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o cool_v the_o heat_n
