not_o in_o his_o family_n nor_o abroad_o in_o company_n otherwise_o then_o godly_a and_o religious_a we_o have_v see_v the_o lamentable_a effect_n of_o riches_n and_o glory_n in_o the_o clergy_n

and_o also_o the_o church_n of_o god_n when_o god_n prince_n possess_v the_o clergy_n of_o such_o measure_n of_o possession_n as_o that_o both_o they_o will_v be_v wicked_a and_o also_o be_v able_a
