and_o so_o shall_v i_o ever_o look_v upon_o he_o till_o the_o spreader_n of_o that_o slander_n bring_v forth_o their_o author_n that_o james_n nailor_n make_v himself_o or_o say_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v christ_n be_v another_o lie_n though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o some_o foolish_a woman_n which_o both_o he_o and_o we_o reprove_v say_v so_o of_o he_o and_o it_o have_v often_o be_v

therefore_o till_o the_o contrary_n be_v make_v manifest_a by_o some_o know_a author_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o another_o lie_n a_o four_o be_v that_o jesuit_n and_o priest_n be_v know_v to_o

i_o shall_v conclude_v that_o another_o lie_n because_o i_o know_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o our_o very_a nature_n and_o principle_n who_o be_v bear_v from_o above_o which_o be_v to_o save_v man_n
