in_o a_o other_o mould_n and_o make_v all_o new_a and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o use_n of_o the_o high_a and_o chief_a of_o they_o and_o at_o the_o chief_a time_n as_o god_n do_v seem_v to_o show_v unto_o his_o majesty_n and_o to_o the_o body_n of_o the_o land_n then_o assemble_v then_o may_v we_o think_v there_o be_v as_o little_a or_o less_o use_v of_o the_o inferior_a bishop_n at_o any_o
