of_o the_o one_o half_a of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o though_o you_o be_v wise_a than_o he_o that_o institute_v it_o in_o both_o kind_n three_o discipline_n you_o have_v convert_v into_o tyranny_n and_o

the_o same_o and_o do_v obstinate_o defend_v the_o filthy_a whore_n of_o babylon_n against_o the_o clear_a light_n of_o the_o gospel_n &_o the_o true_a spouse_n of_o christ_n you_o shall_v be_v damn_v

furthermore_o continual_a exercise_n of_o preach_v minister_a of_o sacrament_n and_o execute_v of_o discipline_n be_v note_n of_o a_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a congregation_n not_o of_o a_o disperse_a
