11._o that_o the_o set_n up_o of_o the_o king_n arm_n in_o the_o place_n of_o our_o most_o solemn_a worship_n and_o over_o the_o commandment_n and_o the_o most_o holy_a name_n of_o god_n be_v a_o

the_o civil_a power_n so_o the_o fly_a dragon_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n upon_o the_o spire_n of_o bow-church_n the_o peculiar_a of_o the_o archbishop_n in_o the_o chief_a city_n of_o this_o nation_n be_v as_o proper_a a_o ensign_n and_o emblem_n of_o that_o invisible_a power_n by_o who_o operation_n and_o energy_n the_o corruption_n of_o the_o solemn_a

the_o clergy_n also_o be_v grow_v cold_a and_o senseless_a of_o the_o dishonour_v do_v to_o god_n in_o these_o and_o other_o matter_n so_o that_o divers_a thing_n which_o in_o former_a age_n have_v

of_o the_o clergy_n be_v the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o for_o their_o insensibility_n and_o little_o concern_v for_o the_o dishonour_v do_v to_o his_o divine_a majesty_n in_o
