but_o i_o know_v not_o of_o any_o henrician_n creed_n incorporate_v into_o our_o faith_n the_o romanists_n have_v a_o creed_n young_a by_o some_o year_n than_o king_n henry_n but_o nothing_o be_v a_o

with_o a_o command_n indeed_o to_o use_v it_o for_o the_o protection_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n but_o with_o a_o natural_a liberty_n still_o of_o use_v it_o for_o the_o protection_n of_o a_o
