that_o it_o be_v a_o new_a religion_n but_o it_o be_v the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n that_o change_v they_o though_o many_o in_o that_o day_n oppose_v they_o and_o so_o we_o say_v force_v now_o with_o prison_n and_o carnal_a weapon_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n as_o it_o be_v former_o in_o the_o papist_n and_o other_o for_o they_o say_v they_o have_v a_o law_n and_o they_o be_v the_o
