preacher_n pretend_v only_o that_o more_o care_n be_v take_v that_o they_o live_v single_o than_o that_o they_o live_v honest_o and_o this_o chief_o because_o the_o punishment_n for_o a_o clergyman_n that_o marry_v be_v much_o great_a than_o for_o one_o that_o keep_v his_o concubine_n which_o be_v as_o much_o to_o the_o purpose_n as_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o according_a to_o the_o

penalty_n even_o of_o death_n itself_o for_o such_o as_o become_v papist_n but_o none_o at_o all_o for_o those_o that_o turn_v turk_n and_o because_o it_o be_v thus_o evident_a that_o she_o take_v more_o care_n in_o the_o one_o case_n than_o in_o the_o other_o be_v this_o enough_o to_o justify_v a_o preacher_n in_o declare_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v careful_a indeed_o to_o
