loyal_a orthodox_n conformable_a man_n say_v all_o that_o ever_o true_o know_v they_o and_o by_o these_o we_o may_v guess_v at_o the_o separatist_n sectary_n brownist_n and_o aanabaptist_n so_o

protestant_n reform_v religion_n may_v very_o well_o consist_v with_o the_o suppress_n of_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n for_o first_o our_o protestant_a religion_n have_v not_o its_o first_o rise_n from_o protest_v to_o maintain_v the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n but_o to_o maintain_v the_o protestant_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n in_o opposition_n to_o popery_n second_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o reform_a church_n beyond_o sea_n be_v protestant_n and_o yet_o they_o have_v not_o our_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n there_o three_o we_o question_v not_o but_o that_o his_o majesty_n have_v confirm_v the_o protestant_a religion_n in_o scotland_n and_o you_o we_o know_v not_o that_o either_o bishop_n or_o our_o book_n of_o

then_o to_o revile_v the_o popish_a mass_n book_n be_v to_o revile_v the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n settle_v since_o the_o reformation_n second_o suppose_v this_o shall_v be_v the_o book_n

and_o not_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n and_o therefore_o the_o true_a protestant_a religion_n may_v be_v maintain_v though_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n be_v suppress_v four_o the_o
