decay_v to_o reform_v the_o church_n when_o corrupt_v and_o to_o protect_v the_o same_o when_o reform_a this_o be_v the_o supremacy_n which_o the_o german_a prince_n be_v the_o first_o reformer_n

so_o then_o it_o be_v a_o most_o certain_a truth_n though_o a_o paradox_n to_o the_o vulgar_a that_o although_o there_o be_v myriad_o of_o man_n in_o england_n who_o pass_v for_o protestant_n and_o
