to_o england_n and_o thus_o i_o trow_v i_o have_v prove_v that_o you_o be_v english_a enemy_n mark_v again_o christ_n say_v who_o be_v to_o be_v beléeve_v no_o man_n can_v serve_v two_o master_n 6._o for_o either_o he_o shall_v hate_v the_o one_o &_o love_v the_o other_o or_o else_o lean_a to_o the_o one_o and_o despise_v the_o other_o by_o these_o word_n of_o christ_n who_o can_v lie_v though_o
