i_o proceed_v yet_o a_o little_a far_o and_o consider_v that_o we_o protestant_n can_v not_o possible_o assign_v so_o much_o as_o the_o shadow_n of_o any_o one_o man_n our_o henrician_n and_o

please_v i_o in_o deny_v purgatory_n yet_o he_o do_v displease_v i_o also_o by_o some_o odious_a and_o hateful_a opinion_n wherewith_o he_o be_v infect_v and_o then_o i_o can_v not_o find_v out_o
