that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o believe_v with_o our_o heart_n but_o also_o we_o must_v make_v profession_n thereof_o with_o our_o mouth_n and_o so_o religion_n bind_v we_o not_o only_o to_o

to_o usurp_v to_o himself_o the_o honour_n and_o adoration_n due_a unto_o god_n know_v that_o external_a reverence_n be_v a_o sign_n and_o a_o character_n of_o the_o interior_a and_o in_o this_o

external_a reverence_n rite_n and_o ceremony_n and_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o read_v that_o those_o most_o unfortunate_a priest_n of_o baal_n do_v invocate_v he_o with_o sacrifice_n &_o with_o clamour_n bend_v their_o knee_n prostrate_v themselves_o on_o the_o ground_n and_o be_v barbarous_a &_o inhuman_a like_a to_o the_o devil_n they_o serve_v with_o knife_n do_v lance_v
