against_o this_o our_o father_n of_o our_o church_n and_o champion_n of_o our_o reform_a religion_n two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v a_o act_n the_o second_o be_v for_o word_n but_o sure_o upon_o

the_o spirit_n well_o and_o what_o follow_v carry_v myself_o and_o many_o other_o worthy_a member_n of_o the_o nation_n into_o hell_n and_o keep_v we_o as_o he_o say_v and_o it_o be_v but_o his_o

necessary_a why_o may_v not_o a_o spiritual_a man_n wear_v a_o sword_n what_o not_o upon_o a_o journey_n or_o some_o great_a employment_n and_o this_o be_v no_o other_o have_v not_o our_o saviour_n

to_o take_v heed_n how_o he_o wrong_v the_o least_o of_o these_o little_a one_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o kick_v against_o the_o prick_n but_o more_o special_o not_o to_o cause_v his_o own_o tongue_n
