pryvate_a brain_n but_o of_o the_o consent_n and_o agreement_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n see_v how_o these_o fellow_n have_v all_o at_o one_o cast_n of_o all_o shame_n we_o do_v not_o refuse_v

why_o do_v they_o call_v back_o again_o with_o their_o crafty_a trifling_n that_o which_o they_o do_v once_o grant_n fynallie_o why_o do_v they_o tear_v and_o change_v themselves_o into_o so_o many_o
