our_o monk_n be_v not_o to_o be_v compare_v to_o they_o we_o may_v therefore_o conclude_v and_o speak_v confident_o that_o this_o law_n be_v as_o great_a a_o hypocrisy_n and_o abuse_n as_o the_o other_o invention_n of_o the_o papist_n to_o make_v our_o christian_a perfection_n consist_v in_o such_o nicety_n and_o folly_n be_v to_o catch_v at_o the_o shadow_n instead_o of_o the_o body_n to_o

of_o many_o person_n how_o many_o horrid_a and_o enormous_a crime_n this_o vow_n have_v occasion_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n it_o fill_v it_o with_o abomination_n and_o filthiness_n and_o
