it_o may_v have_v save_v your_o reputation_n come_v to_o no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v find_v guilty_a of_o murder_n the_o prince_n must_v not_o have_v he_o hang_v lest_o he_o shall_v forget_v his_o filial_a affection_n or_o that_o the_o law_n must_v indulge_v the_o wild_a whimsy_n of_o adamite_n or_o muggletonian_o or_o any_o other_o extravagant_a sect_n lest_o if_o

a_o man_n may_v be_v proud_a of_o the_o friendship_n of_o some_o adamite_n and_o muggletonian_o too_o as_o person_n of_o great_a worth_n or_o else_o his_o comparison_n come_v to_o nothing_o but_o

you_o desire_v our_o church_n shall_v fall_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n may_v stand_v more_o firm_a submit_v to_o be_v ride_v by_o the_o pope_n and_o throw_v up_o our_o religion_n what_o can_v
