they_o vary_v so_o much_o from_o the_o universal_a and_o vulgar_a sort_n of_o man_n for_o although_o the_o sense_n have_v all_o a_o certain_a parentage_n a●d_v kynneship_n with_o the_o body_n yet_o

with_o such_o other_o disordinate_a mocio●s_n wherewith_o holy_a man_n be_v ever_o at_o unpeasible_a war_n but_o the_o vulgar_n not_o only_o do_v not_o eschew_v but_o rather_o embrace_v they_o
