you_o may_v see_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o the_o one_o a_o form_n and_o tradition_n and_o profession_n the_o other_o the_o life_n and_o power_n and_o substance_n and_o here_o also_o you_o may_v see_v what_o england_n church_n which_o england_n priest_n have_v plant_v now_o differ_v from_o the_o heathen_a and_o now_o set_v drunkard_n aside_o set_v swearer_n aside_o set_v liar_n aside_o set_v proud_a one_o aside_o set_v covetous_a one_o aside_o set_v railer_n aside_o set_z murderers_z aside_o and_o whoremonger_n aside_o say_v wild_a one_o profane_a one_o

like_a aside_o and_o then_o see_v where_o england_n church_n be_v which_o your_o priest_n have_v make_v you_o believe_v they_o have_v plant_v and_o let_v they_o eat_v no_o where_o but_o of_o their_o

of_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o and_o set_v those_o aside_o that_o i_o mention_v as_o aforesaid_a for_o the_o apostle_n cast_v out_o such_o weed_n and_o wild_a plant_n out_o of_o their_o vineyard_n and_o

have_v a_o law_n even_o to_o devour_v they_o and_o their_o whole_a estate_n and_o this_o be_v far_o from_o gospel-minister_n 15_o nay_o jesus_n christ_n the_o light_n see_v their_o forefather_n and_o

prepare_v war_n than_o they_o have_v law_n for_o you_o to_o take_v treble_a damage_n from_o you_o and_o so_o fulfil_v the_o apostle_n word_n oh_o what_o a_o horrible_a filthy_a thing_n be_v here_o commit_v in_o the_o land_n 3._o be_v not_o they_o plain_a raven_a wolf_n that_o will_v devour_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n now_o you_o people_n of_o england_n consider_v where_o you_o be_v and_o who_o

the_o tradition_n of_o man_n as_o i_o have_v before_o prove_v how_o many_o thing_n they_o have_v lead_v you_o in_o by_o tradition_n without_o any_o scripture-proof_n though_o to_o you_o they_o have_v

and_o truein_a what_o they_o know_v but_o i_o know_v the_o priest_n have_v be_v long_o utter_a enemy_n to_o god_n and_o his_o truth_n and_o the_o tare_n have_v long_o cover_v the_o wheat_n and_o in_o

the_o world_n light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o man_n love_v darkness_n rather_o than_o light_n because_o their_o deed_n be_v evil_a light_n be_v new_a to_o they_o who_o have_v always_o be_v in_o darkness_n and_o truth_n be_v new_a to_o they_o who_o have_v always_o live_v in_o deceit_n but_o the_o light_n be_v the_o same_o as_o ever_o it_o be_v for_o it_o be_v unchangeable_a and_o
