of_o all_o catholic_a kingdom_n upon_o earth_n in_o any_o age_n on_o one_o side_n and_o the_o opposite_a practice_n of_o all_o protestant_n on_o the_o other_o second_o be_v that_o for_o what_o

their_o doubt_n from_o the_o king_n chair_n in_o the_o interim_n it_o be_v a_o shame_n and_o general_a scandal_n to_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o we_o in_o england_n shall_v neither_o supplicate_v
