there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o people_n who_o fain_o will_v that_o david_n shall_v always_o sing_v of_o mercy_n that_o as_o it_o may_v seem_v by_o excessive_a clemency_n our_o sovereign_n may_v

because_o that_o every_o one_o that_o be_v blemish_v or_o hold_v any_o one_o error_n or_o article_n of_o doctrine_n that_o the_o pope_n hold_v as_o perhaps_o purgatory_n or_o prayer_n for_o the_o
