           that

           doe
           you

           ?
           First
           you
           tell
           us
           they
           were
           not
           knowne
           by
           the
           primitive
           Fathers
           ;
           but
           this
           is
           as
           grosse
           as
           to
           say
           the
           primitive
           fathers
           did
           not
           know
           themselves

           whom
           we

           as
           we
           doe
           that
           the
           
             Saxons
          
           did
           here
           succeed

             Britaines

           this
           for
           us
           .
           Secondly
           ,
           you
           tell
           us
           that
           government
           was
           corrupt
           even
           from
           the
           well-head
           ,
           but
           since
           I
           have
           proved
           to
           you
           that
           this
           was
           Christ
           (
           the
           Apostles
           you
           will
           venture
           upon
           )
           I
           hope
           you

           Thirdly

           you
           will
           have
           this

           is
           nothing
           more
           destructive
           of
           it
           ,
           for
           to
           maintaine
           that
           every
           Bishop
