follow_v the_o example_n of_o the_o church_n when_o it_o be_v in_o best_a case_n and_o state_n part_o for_o that_o i_o perceyve_v that_o those_o that_o be_v give_v to_o papistry_n do_v go_v about_o

notwithstanding_o yet_o the_o consideration_n of_o these_o matter_n do_v not_o so_o far_o carry_v i_o nor_o the_o reason_n allege_v by_o you_o so_o persuade_v i_o that_o i_o shall_v affirm_v the_o

not_o ignorant_a that_o such_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o indifferent_a thing_n that_o at_o one_o time_n they_o may_v be_v use_v and_o at_o another_o time_n refuse_v to_o eat_v that_o be_v strangle_v of_o itself_o be_v a_o indifferent_a thing_n yet_o it_o be_v meet_v sometime_o to_o refrain_v from_o the_o use_n thereof_o and_o sometime_o to_o use_v it_o most_o free_o and_o in_o this_o respect_n though_o i_o have_v say_v this_o diversity_n of_o church_n apparel_n be_v not_o to_o be_v retain_v nevertheless_o it_o to_o be_v wicked_a i_o never_o so_o judge_v that_o i_o dare_v therefore_o
