begin_n of_o morning_n and_o evening_n prayer_n but_o that_o there_o it_o be_v pronounce_v general_o to_o all_o there_o present_a that_o be_v true_o penitent_a and_o believe_v in_o christ_n

of_o trinity_n sunday_n pray_v as_o there_o the_o book_n appoint_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o all_o adversity_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o lord_n prayer_n to_o be_v deliver_v from_o all_o evil_a

our_o church_n therefore_o disallow_v prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a as_o it_o do_v and_o require_v always_o steadfast_a faith_n in_o our_o prayer_n we_o may_v be_v sure_a thereby_o we_o be_v only_o in_o

certain_a objection_n against_o the_o same_o be_v therefore_o now_o come_v to_o the_o question_n about_o this_o subscription_n howsoever_o heretofore_o it_o be_v doubt_v whether_o it_o have_v any_o express_a law_n or_o canon_n to_o warrant_v it_o or_o no_o now_o we_o be_v put_v out_o of_o doubt_n thereof_o by_o these_o last_o cannon_n and_o namely_o by_o the_o 36_o in_o that_o we_o see_v and_o know_v they_o all_o to_o be_v so_o authorise_v by_o his_o majesty_n as_o they_o be_v who_o have_v full_a and_o sufficient_a authority_n by_o his_o highness_n title_n &_o prerogative_n confirm_v unto_o he_o by_o express_a law_n otherwise_o so_o to_o do_v and_o therefore_o we_o can_v be_v now_o ignorant_a but_o that_o our_o reverend_a father_n the_o bishop_n have_v thereby_o authority_n to_o urge_v such_o minister_n thereunto_o as_o be_v under_o their_o jurisdiction_n at_o such_o time_n and_o in_o such_o case_n and_o upon_o such_o occasion_n and_o in_o such_o manner_n as_o be_v express_v in_o the_o say_a canon_n and_o also_o under_o the_o penalty_n to_o the_o refuser_n then_o specify_v in_o the_o same_o wherefore_o as_o i_o say_v of_o the_o former_a so_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v of_o this_o so_o far_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o within_o the_o compass_n thereof_o either_o in_o the_o own_o nature_n or_o as_o it_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o order_n of_o our_o church_n and_o the_o governor_n thereof_o contrary_a either_o to_o sound_v faith_n or_o good_a manner_n teach_v in_o god_n word_n conscience_n in_o respect_n of_o they_o and_o this_o their_o authority_n which_o they_o have_v now_o by_o law_n or_o canon_n though_o not_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o bare_a nature_n of_o every_o thing_n within_o the_o reach_n of_o the_o same_o without_o all_o question_n do_v bind_v we_o for_o the_o church_n good_a and_o our_o own_o to_o yield_v thereunto_o and_o this_o be_v certain_a the_o first_o article_n touch_v his_o majesty_n just_a title_n and_o supremacy_n therein_o set_v down_o &_o the_o last_o touch_v the_o book_n of_o article_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o concern_v faith_n &_o the_o sacrament_n all_o man_n of_o our_o religion_n &_o profession_n that_o hold_v communion_n with_o we_o have_v always_o since_o subscription_n have_v be_v first_o require_v be_v willing_a and_o ready_a to_o yield_v the_o same_o acknowledge_v as_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n so_o also_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o the_o plain_a and_o manifest_a truth_n therein_o contain_v that_o they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n also_o even_o for_o the_o matter_n thereof_o so_o to_o do_v the_o question_n therefore_o concern_v this_o point_n lie_v in_o this_o whether_o the_o rest_n contain_v in_o these_o three_o article_n mention_v in_o that_o 36_o canon_n &_o in_o the_o form_n there_o set_v down_o may_v be_v yield_v unto_o with_o a_o safe_a &_o good_a conscience_n whereunto_o first_o i_o say_v that_o compare_v the_o article_n where_o unto_o now_o subscription_n be_v require_v with_o the_o 3_o that_o former_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v urge_v touch_v either_o the_o whole_a or_o the_o rest_n now_o only_o in_o question_n i_o find_v no_o great_a difference_n some_o word_n be_v add_v in_o the_o first_o somewhat_o more_o full_o to_o express_v his_o majesty_n title_n and_o supremacy_n whereof_o therefore_o i_o think_v every_o one_o like_v so_o much_o the_o better_a and_o as_o for_o the_o second_o it_o be_v word_n for_o word_n the_o same_o it_o be_v and_o that_o require_v that_o by_o our_o subscription_n thereunto_o we_o only_o advouch_v that_o those_o twoe_o book_n therein_o name_v the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n and_o the_o book_n of_o order_v bishop_n priest_n and_o deacon_n contain_n nothing_o contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o last_o as_o i_o find_v these_o word_n add_v now_o to_o make_v it_o plain_a how_o many_o article_n the_o say_a book_n of_o article_n contain_v be_v in_o number_n 39_o beside_o the_o ratification_n so_o i_o observe_v for_o the_o word_n believe_v use_v before_o touch_v all_o the_o article_n therein_o contain_v as_o it_o there_o be_v express_o set_v down_o a_o soft_a word_n put_v namely_o acknowledge_v so_o that_o herein_o even_o in_o the_o construction_n of_o those_o that_o most_o mislike_n and_o write_v against_o the_o former_a it_o be_v most_o clear_a that_o this_o now_o urge_v be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o matter_n thereof_o the_o very_a same_o if_o not_o better_o and_o easy_o than_o it_o be_v before_o especial_o consider_v also_o the_o thing_n amend_v &_o explain_v in_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n of_o late_a as_o be_v note_v in_o the_o beginning_n 2_o if_o any_o say_v yet_o now_o it_o be_v worse_a than_o it_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o

which_o i_o have_v say_v already_o of_o the_o former_a point_n that_o our_o church_n by_o these_o last_o canon_n have_v in_o nothing_o make_v the_o sense_n of_o any_o thing_n hard_o than_o it_o be_v before_o it_o must_v neee_v follow_v that_o now_o to_o refuse_v thus_o to_o subscribe_v for_o any_o

easy_o be_v bring_v in_o the_o same_o respect_n to_o yield_v to_o the_o other_o and_o he_o that_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o the_o former_a will_v never_o be_v draw_v to_o the_o latter_a first_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o may_v be_v say_v to_o induce_v man_n to_o the_o former_a and_o then_o after_o likewise_o how_o best_o the_o objection_n that_o stay_v man_n from_o the_o latter_a may_v be_v answer_v and_o remove_v in_o both_o which_o because_o i_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o man_n of_o wisdom_n and_o learning_n i_o will_v study_v to_o be_v as_o brief_a as_o i_o may_v chap._n 3._o consist_v of_o the_o main_a proposition_n of_o the_o whole_a and_o of_o seven_o ground_n of_o the_o discourse_n follow_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o yield_v the_o former_a the_o statute_n make_v eliza_n i_o first_o to_o authorise_v the_o book_n &_o the_o uniform_a practice_n &_o use_v thereof_o and_o since_o his_o majesty_n proclamation_n publish_v therewith_o as_o it_o be_v now_o to_o ratefie_v the_o same_o and_o the_o canon_n authorise_v by_o his_o highness_n as_o they_o be_v in_o my_o opinion_n make_v it_o so_o clear_a and_o evident_a that_o we_o can_v just_o make_v no_o doubt_n thereof_o all_o the_o question_n therefore_o i_o will_v think_v now_o be_v whether_o be_v thus_o by_o lawful_a acthority_n command_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o commandment_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o urge_v thereof_o consider_v we_o be_v bind_v or_o no_o to_o yield_v quiet_o our_o obedience_n thereunto_o wherein_o my_o opinion_n be_v be_v not_o the_o law_n that_o require_v this_o at_o our_o hand_n so_o penal_a as_o it_o be_v yet_o but_o command_v it_o the_o thing_n command_v be_v neither_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n either_o against_o faith_n or_o good_a manner_n and_o therefore_o but_o thing_n indifferent_a nor_o yet_o in_o the_o use_n as_o they_o be_v urge_v otherwise_o by_o the_o common_a rule_n of_o the_o word_n in_o that_o case_n set_v down_o touch_v the_o obedience_n of_o the_o inferior_a to_o the_o superior_a rom._n 3.1_o etc._n etc._n 1_o pet._n 2.13_o etc._n etc._n we_o be_v quiet_o and_o willing_o even_o to_o discharge_v our_o duty_n

meaning_n therein_o they_o may_v be_v so_o take_v as_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n set_v down_o in_o the_o canonical_a scripture_n contrary_a thereunto_o in_o my_o poor_a judgement_n it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o every_o modest_a and_o christian_n minister_n to_o yield_v rather_o his_o conformity_n thereunto_o then_o he_o can_v tell_v how_o much_o to_o the_o

to_o suffer_v himself_o by_o his_o ordinary_n either_o to_o be_v keep_v from_o enter_v into_o the_o ministry_n or_o to_o be_v deprive_v of_o place_n or_o ministry_n now_o yet_o before_o i_o can_v

i_o hope_v confess_v of_o we_o all_o which_o notwithstanding_o due_o weigh_v may_v well_o serve_v not_o only_o to_o confirm_v these_o point_n but_o also_o to_o open_v a_o way_n to_o answer_v all_o
