have_v be_v bring_v into_o this_o error_n long_o since_o by_o unfaythfull_a pastor_n that_o they_o offer_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n of_o the_o angel_n salutation_n of_o the_o psalm_n and_o other_o prayer_n to_o god_n the_o bless_a virgin_n &_o other_o saint_n as_o some_o acceptable_a service_n or_o gift_n whereby_o they_o think_v they_o deserve_v much_o of_o god_n and_o saint_n &_o that_o they_o purge_v their_o sin_n and_o obtain_v the_o benifitte_v of_o god_n which_o abuse_n of_o pray_v do_v not_o only_o fight_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o also_o be_v folishe_a

by_o reason_n of_o place_n of_o which_o they_o think_v some_o to_o be_v more_o holy_a than_o some_o as_o if_o the_o prayer_n be_v make_v at_o certain_a grave_a stock_n or_o relic_n of_o saint_n or_o
