that_o you_o use_v he_o as_o a_o instrument_n to_o disgrace_v your_o minister_n withal_o by_o your_o odious_a comparisons-making_a and_o because_o hereby_o you_o comfort_n relieve_v and_o refresh_v

to_o seek_v out_o another_o shepherd_n some_o that_o satan_n have_v pick_v in_o at_o the_o window_n who_o they_o may_v object_v against_o he_o who_o if_o he_o be_v a_o good_a scholar_n politic_a and_o

this_o then_o be_v the_o condemnation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o they_o hear_v indeed_o but_o with_o unbelieve_a heart_n doubt_v and_o waver_a mind_n and_o in_o a_o dream_a and_o slumber_v manner_n
