of_o all_o catholic_a kingdom_n upon_o earth_n in_o any_o age_n on_o one_o side_n and_o the_o opposite_a practice_n of_o all_o protestant_n on_o the_o other_o second_o be_v that_o for_o what_o reason_n roman_z catholics_n deny_v a_o prince_n to_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o same_o aught_o all_o other_o as_o they_o deny_v it_o in_o deed_n so_o if_o they_o will_v speak_v sincere_o as_o they_o think_v and_o act_v to_o deny_v it_o in_o word_n also_o as_o well_o as_o they_o for_o catholics_n do_v believe_v he_o to_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n from_o who_o the_o channel_n of_o religion_n and_o all_o direction_n in_o it_o be_v derive_v and_o slow_v for_o which_o reason_n a_o spring_n be_v say_v to_o be_v head_n of_o a_o river_n but_o neither_o do_v any_o

any_o of_o they_o may_v say_v all_o protestant_n do_v as_o much_o deny_v the_o thing_n in_o their_o behaviour_n as_o catholics_n do_v in_o word_n and_o catholics_n do_v in_o their_o behaviour_n observe_v as_o much_o as_o protestant_n either_o practice_v or_o pretend_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o roman_a catholics_n in_o all_o occur_v difficulty_n of_o faith_n both_o have_v their_o

their_o doubt_n from_o the_o king_n chair_n in_o the_o interim_n it_o be_v a_o shame_n and_o general_a scandal_n to_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o we_o in_o england_n shall_v neither_o supplicate_v nor_o acquiesce_v in_o affair_n of_o religion_n to_o his_o majesty_n judgement_n who_o in_o word_n we_o acknowledge_v head_n of_o the_o church_n but_o fight_v and_o quarrel_n without_o end_n and_o
