not_o for_o lay_v man_n to_o meddle_v with_o matter_n of_o religion_n that_o belong_v whole_o and_o only_o as_o a_o privilege_n to_o the_o priest_n thereby_o make_v they_o secure_a and_o careless_a of_o god_n and_o all_o godliness_n only_o if_o he_o come_v diligent_o and_o devout_o to_o hear_v mass_n and_o once_o a_o year_n to_o confess_v his_o sin_n to_o his_o ghostly_a father_n how_o slender_o

then_o the_o end_n be_v our_o absolution_n and_o pardon_n must_v come_v from_o themselves_o which_o money_n must_v purchase_v and_o so_o the_o best_a purse_n by_o their_o rule_n do_v speed_v best_o in_o their_o religion_n yet_o our_o saviour_n christ_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o a_o camel_n to_o go_v through_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o needle_n as_o for_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o

be_v preserve_v her_o life_n be_v malicious_o and_o with_o great_a cunning_a shot_n at_o by_o the_o romish_a clergy_n then_o in_o place_n of_o credit_n for_o gardiner_n that_o most_o proud_a and_o

to_o free_v we_o from_o all_o the_o most_o bitter_a thraldom_n of_o this_o romish_a pharaoh_n &_o to_o bring_v we_o into_o the_o sweet_a and_o sincere_a liberty_n of_o christ_n true_a religion_n and_o
