as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n so_o be_v there_o one_o only_a religion_n as_o no_o papist_n can_v deny_v since_o therefore_o god_n word_n and_o religion_n tell_v we_o that_o all_o meat_n be_v

call_v the_o common_a people_n &_o latter_a papist_n give_v this_o reason_n because_o forsooth_o christ_n fast_v forty_o day_n but_o that_o this_o their_o wise_a reason_n so_o suppose_v be_v most_o
