now_o we_o begin_v to_o suspect_v that_o because_o you_o have_v go_v so_o far_o in_o that_o course_n you_o think_v it_o will_v be_v some_o discredit_n as_o to_o be_v deem_v unconstant_a and_o a_o

of_o such_o peevishness_n proceed_v indeed_o from_o the_o root_n of_o pride_n &_o we_o wish_v you_o to_o submit_v yourself_o to_o your_o gracious_a princess_n her_o honourable_a council_n &_o to_o

have_v yet_o a_o far_o great_a sway_n in_o the_o world_n than_o any_o other_o religion_n ever_o have_v or_o have_v and_o worthy_a it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o in_o no_o land_n nor_o country_n

they_o be_v papist_n or_o priest_n make_v by_o authority_n from_o the_o sea_n of_o rome_n but_o only_o in_o england_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o whole_a world_n do_v wonder_n that_o little_a england_n dare_v and_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o do_v that_o which_o never_o be_v see_v in_o the_o world_n before_o for_o let_v a_o seminary_n priest_n as_o they_o call_v he_o keep_v he_o out_o of_o england_n and_o he_o be_v safe_a enough_o in_o any_o region_n under_o heaven_n this_o i_o say_v by_o the_o way_n for_o that_o it_o greeve_v i_o at_o the_o very_a hart_n to_o hear_v that_o my_o dear_a

universal_a consent_n of_o christendom_n against_o two_o or_o three_o so_o contemptible_a author_n of_o novelty_n be_v more_o than_o sufficient_a to_o induce_v any_o man_n of_o reason_n to_o look_v
