yet_o that_o can_v be_v force_v unto_o any_o so_o bad_a a_o sense_n unless_o it_o be_v this_o one_o which_o must_v be_v do_v with_o a_o wrinch_n too_o that_o they_o which_o prefer_v any_o preacher_n

no_o heresy_n but_o a_o impregnable_a verity_n and_o so_o i_o hope_v to_o make_v it_o to_o appear_v most_o plain_o to_o you_o and_o therefore_o i_o must_v crave_v your_o christian_a patience_n that_o i_o may_v clear_v the_o former_a doctrine_n from_o the_o two_o former_a imputation_n especial_o from_o that_o imputation_n of_o falsehood_n which_o be_v the_o great_a infamy_n if_o it_o be_v true_a and_o the_o great_a injury_n if_o it_o be_v false_a that_o can_v possible_o be_v cast_v upon_o a_o preacher_n yea_o a_o far_o great_a injury_n then_o to_o call_v he_o either_o a_o murderer_n a_o
