although_o a_o false_a constitution_n be_v a_o sin_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o idolatry_n you_o must_v manifest_v it_o to_o i_o to_o be_v a_o sin_n of_o another_o commandment_n if_o you_o plead_v that_o

first_o you_o refer_v we_o to_o the_o treatise_n in_o the_o end_n of_o your_o book_n &_o i_o refer_v you_o for_o answer_v partly_o to_o mr._n ain_v partly_o to_o the_o book_n entitle_v the_o difference_n of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o separation_n for_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n psalm_n prayer_n &_o prophecy_n be_v read_v out_o of_o a_o book_n &_o yet_o further_o i_o answer_v three_o thing_n 1._o that_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o see_v it_o be_v so_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v so_o in_o the_o new_a nay_o contrary_a it_o be_v so_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n therefore_o it_o must_v not_o be_v so_o in_o the_o new_a this_o be_v the_o true_a manner_n of_o reason_v or_o thus_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o have_v psalm_n prophecy_n prayer_n read_v out_o of_o a_o book_n which_o be_v the_o type_n the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o letter_n therefore_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n we_o must_v have_v psalm_n prophecy_n prayer_n bring_v out_o of_o the_o hart_n which_o be_v the_o spiritual_a book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n wherein_o the_o lord_n do_v write_v his_o law_n heb._n 8.10_o which_o be_v the_o truth_n the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o spirit_n 2._o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o read_v the_o prayer_n prophecy_n &_o psalm_n of_o scripture_n out_o of_o the_o original_a tong_n the_o hebrew_n and_o greek_n be_v lawful_a that_o therefore_o the_o read_n of_o the_o apocrypha_fw-la translation_n which_o be_v the_o work_n of_o man_n be_v lawful_a for_o theone_fw-mi be_v interpretation_n of_o a_o language_n or_o tongue_n that_o be_v the_o utter_n of_o matter_n from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o tongue_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o interpret_n the_o other_o be_v read_v word_n out_o of_o a_o book_n which_o a_o child_n of_o eight_o year_n old_a may_v do_v 3._o neither_o will_v it_o follow_v that_o if_o it_o be_v find_v lawful_a to_o read_v the_o english_a translation_n of_o the_o scripture_n therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a to_o read_v your_o english_a masse-book_n your_o book_n of_o homily_n and_o article_n your_o book_n of_o

second_o you_o prove_v your_o worship_n true_a by_o two_o reason_n 1._o say_v you_o you_o worship_v no_o false_a god_n 2._o you_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n with_o no_o false_a worship_n for_o you_o preach_v the_o true_a word_n admister_n the_o true_a sacrament_n pray_v such_o prayer_n as_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o scripture_n &_o the_o form_n of_o prayer_n teach_v by_o christ_n &_o if_o any_o thing_n else_o be_v prescribe_v it_o be_v not_o impose_v as_o worship_n or_o if_o it_o be_v prescribe_v as_o a_o part_n of_o worship_n it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o all_o the_o worship_n be_v false_a well_o i_o answer_v that_o israel_n in_o jetoboams_n time_n and_o after_o and_o when_o aaron_n make_v the_o calf_n do_v not_o worship_n worship_v a_o false_a god_n &_o yet_o their_o worship_n be_v false_a so_o may_v your_o worship_n be_v false_a though_o you_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n that_o have_v reveal_v himself_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n but_o their_o worship_n be_v not_o true_a by_o your_o own_o confession_n therefore_o your_o consequent_a be_v not_o good_a that_o see_v you_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n your_o worship_n must_v needs_o be_v true_a if_o the_o mean_n whereby_o you_o worship_v be_v a_o false_a mean_n devise_v by_o the_o wit_n of_o a_o man_n &_o not_o teach_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o say_v your_o worship_n be_v false_a &_o so_o that_o place_n of_o mat._n 15.1_o import_v that_o whosoever_o worship_v god_n by_o any_o invent_a mean_n teach_v by_o man_n precept_n worship_v god_n invayne_n such_o be_v a_o image_n as_o the_o second_o commandment_n teach_v now_o the_o mean_n of_o your_o worship_n be_v false_a as_o first_o your_o false_a church_n which_o be_v a_o idol_n 2._o your_o stint_a devise_v impose_v literal_a service_n book_n which_o be_v a_o idol_n 3._o your_o false_a christ_n which_o be_v not_o your_o king_n priest_n &_o prophet_n which_o be_v one_o of_o our_o idol_n for_o though_o you_o true_o believe_v concern_v his_o person_n yet_o your_o faith_n be_v false_a &_o your_o doctrine_n false_a concern_v his_o office_n &_o mediation_n &_o therefore_o these_o mean_n of_o your_o worship_n be_v false_a mean_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v false_a worship_n therefore_o see_v your_o doctrine_n be_v much_o of_o it_o false_a your_o communion_n false_a your_o worship_n stint_v &_o book_n worship_n it_o follow_v that_o your_o word_n be_v not_o the_o true_a word_n your_o sacrament_n the_o sign_n of_o your_o false_a faith_n &_o communion_n be_v not_o true_a your_o prayer_n be_v not_o true_a &_o whereas_o you_o plead_v that_o other_o thing_n beside_o the_o word_n sacrament_n &_o prayer_n be_v not_o impose_v as_o worship_n i_o answer_v what_o do_v they_o then_o in_o your_o worship_n will_v you_o mingle_v that_o which_o be_v no_o worshis_n &_o worship_n together_o either_o they_o be_v worship_n or_o else_o let_v they_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o your_o worship_n &_o further_o whereas_o you_o allege_v that_o though_o some_o part_n of_o your_o worship_n he_o false_a yet_o all_o shall_v not_o be_v false_a i_o grant_v it_o if_o your_o church_n be_v true_a &_o your_o ministry_n true_a but_o see_v your_o church_n &_o ministry_n be_v false_a therefore_o though_o you_o do_v preach_v the_o true_a word_n &_o administer_v the_o true_a sacrament_n &_o pray_v true_a prayer_n yet_o they_o can_v not_o be_v true_a worship_n offer_v up_o in_o a_o false_a church_n by_o a_o false_a ministry_n for_o the_o falsehood_n of_o the_o church_n &_o ministry_n do_v essential_o corrupt_v the_o worship_n if_o all_o

be_v show_v in_o the_o next_o place_n you_o declare_v unto_o we_o out_o of_o philip_n mornaeus_n the_o order_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n &_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n the_o

that_o see_v your_o church_n be_v false_a your_o ministry_n false_a your_o service_n book_n a_o false_a mean_n of_o worship_n therefore_o though_o all_o that_o you_o allege_v be_v true_a it_o do_v
