soul_n from_o the_o body_n neither_o do_v they_o only_o defy_v man_n his_o nature_n but_o also_o they_o despise_v all_o the_o authority_n of_o holy_a man_n for_o be_v lose_v from_o the_o lynke_v of_o nawghtie_a desire_n they_o be_v fly_v up_o in_o to_o heaven_n that_o they_o may_v behold_v none_o other_o thing_n but_o god_n and_o that_o they_o may_v make_v none_o other_o of_o their_o council_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n if_o it_o be_v so_o i_o take_v they_o in_o deed_n to_o be_v man_n of_o god_n for_o as_o s._n paul_n wytness_v they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n seem_v which_o be_v lead_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o they_o which_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n questyonles_a be_v furnysh_v with_o godly_a virtue_n but_o now_o sir_n if_o their_o shameful_a do_n do_v disprove_v their_o shameless_a say_n shall_v we_o believe_v they_o so_o often_o as_o they_o make_v their_o vaunt_n that_o they_o follow_v only_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o if_o in_o all_o their_o do_n they_o do_v according_a to_o god_n his_o word_n than_o they_o follow_v not_o covetousness_n hatred_n wrath_n ambityon_n but_o they_o be_v all_o together_o make_v perfect_a with_o virtue_n which_o spring_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n if_o they_o be_v not_o endue_v with_o such_o heavenly_a virtue_n then_o do_v they_o lie_v in_o say_v that_o they_o only_o and_o all_o to_o gether_o do_v frame_v themselves_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o wyckedness_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n can_v not_o dwell_v together_o therefore_o either_o they_o direct_v not_o their_o lyffe_n after_o the_o word_n of_o god_n either_o they_o do_v not_o commit_v any_o abominable_a or_o shameful_a sin_v for_o if_o they_o sin_v shameful_o and_o abominable_o undoughted_o they_o be_v not_o square_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o they_o commyt_v many_o hyduouse_a offence_n and_o sin_n as_o all_o the_o world_n can_v wytnesse_v therefore_o it_o be_v false_a to_o say_v that_o they_o be_v govern_v with_o

god_n which_o they_o all_o way_n be_v chat_a on_o therefore_o you_o shall_v give_v i_o leave_v o_o queen_n that_o i_o may_v search_v and_o ransake_n all_o this_o matter_n so_o far_o till_o it_o

feat_n which_o may_v enforce_v we_o to_o confess_v that_o they_o ground_n only_o upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n well_o say_v will_v they_o say_v but_o you_o know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o
