to_o retain_v it_o now_o for_o diverse_a and_o weighty_a cause_n some_o whereof_o i_o will_v touch_v here_o first_o because_o she_o be_v very_o persuade_v that_o without_o any_o precept_n of_o

spring_n not_o from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o he_o never_o command_v it_o and_o if_o it_o flow_v not_o from_o that_o fountain_n it_o be_v no_o necessity_n for_o we_o have_v already_o lay_v this_o

prayer_n then_o use_v do_v much_o differ_v both_o in_o their_o end_n and_o manner_n from_o these_o which_o be_v now_o practise_v and_o teach_v a_o three_o reason_n be_v add_v by_o his_o majesty_n that_o when_o once_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a take_v place_n among_o church_n rite_n not_o long_o after_o a_o rout_n of_o shameful_a error_n and_o dote_a superstition_n do_v band_n together_o and_o
