though_o i_o be_o loath_a to_o speak_v it_o i_o protest_v i_o think_v it_o reign_v not_o in_o the_o clergy_n least_o for_o they_o at_o first_o show_v great_a humility_n while_o that_o they_o be_v of_o

or_o so_o if_o not_o in_o twelve_o month_n it_o be_v oft_o enough_o and_o why_o alas_o consider_v that_o devotion_n be_v but_o a_o busy_a thing_n that_o let_v promotion_n and_o if_o that_o they_o shall_v give_v their_o mind_n to_o it_o all_o who_o shall_v have_v their_o great_a place_n when_o they_o fall_v no_o no_o it_o be_v fit_a they_o their_o ease_n do_v take_v and_o see_v what_o friend_n
