a_o man_n of_o sir_n francis_n learning_n and_o much_o more_o for_o other_o that_o know_v less_o than_o he_o yea_o and_o when_o all_o be_v do_v if_o he_o have_v all_o these_o help_v needful_a for_o such_o a_o matter_n as_o he_o have_v not_o yet_o be_v it_o but_o a_o private_a man_n opinion_n and_o consequent_o his_o faith_n shall_v be_v ground_v but_o upon_o his_o own_o particular_a judgement_n

opinion_n which_o choice_n be_v proper_o call_v heresy_n for_o that_o the_o word_n heresy_n in_o greek_a as_o all_o learned_a man_n know_v signifi_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o certain_a election_n
