popery_n shall_v enter_v for_o we_o know_v that_o papist_n leave_v that_o out_o of_o their_o decalogue_n there_o be_v a_o world_n more_o thing_n we_o must_v answer_v if_o you_o will_v keep_v image_n in_o our_o church_n for_o what_o will_v it_o avail_v we_o to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o st._n michael_n for_o they_o will_v say_v it_o be_v a_o image_n and_o what_o good_a will_v it_o do_v we_o to_o plead_v that_o it_o be_v not_o against_o the_o old_a act_n of_o edward_n vi_o for_o if_o these_o plea_n may_v have_v bring_v we_o off_o at_o the_o old_a bailie_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o prove_v image_n to_o be_v ornament_n to_o protestant_a church_n for_o there_o be_v a_o much_o old_a law_n make_v at_o mount_n sinai_n against_o it_o and_o therefore_o true_o in_o my_o simple_a judgement_n doctor_n and_o gentleman_n we_o ought_v to_o blame_v he_o that_o let_v up_o this_o image_n on_o the_o steeple_n and_o he_o that_o remove_v it_o to_o the_o commandment_n rather_o than_o he_o that_o pull_v it_o down_o and_o burn_v it_o pray_v what_o be_v the_o opinion_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n of_o image_n and_o what_o be_v your_o opinion_n of_o they_o in_o sober_a sadness_n be_v we_o not_o all_o to_o blame_v that_o when_o the_o doctor_n and_o mr._n sanders_n and_o mr._n clement_n and_o other_o of_o we_o hear_v that_o there_o be_v a_o complaint_n of_o offence_n it_o have_v give_v the_o session_n before_o which_o by_o the_o way_n mr._n sanders_n seem_v willing_a to_o forget_v that_o we_o do_v not_o burn_v it_o present_o before_o we_o have_v be_v thus_o shameful_o talk_v on_o for_o it_o and_o now_o for_o any_o one_o of_o you_o to_o tell_v the_o world_n that_o you_o will_v prosecute_v i_o in_o the_o bishop_n court_n for_o destroy_v of_o such_o a_o filthy_a subbardly_a image_n under_o pretence_n of_o waste_v church-goods_a and_o call_v it_o a_o ornament_n after_o i_o have_v be_v indict_v for_o let_v it_o stand_v so_o long_o real_o gentleman_n if_o you_o be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o such_o imprudence_n i_o blush_v for_o you_o and_o be_o so_o charitable_a as_o to_o believe_v that_o when_o you_o be_v more_o cool_a you_o will_v be_v more_o wise_a single_v i_o out_o any_o man_n of_o you_o or_o doctor_n and_o all_o of_o you_o together_o that_o can_v convince_v i_o or_o any_o man_n live_v but_o a_o tory_n or_o papist_n that_o such_o a_o great_a carve_a image_n be_v any_o ornament_n at_o all_o to_o a_o christian_a church_n where_o god_n will_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n and_o add_v the_o least_o force_n to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o then_o to_o recompense_v you_o for_o loss_n of_o this_o one_o fusty_a image_n i_o will_v set_v you_o up_o as_o many_o image_n as_o there_o be_v commandment_n will_v not_o the_o world_n think_v that_o our_o wise_a lecturer_n know_v the_o very_a critical_a time_n when_o popery_n be_v just_a approach_v and_o to_o show_v his_o pious_a zeal_n just_o then_o begin_v to_o bow_v before_o a_o image_n and_o still_o have_v the_o confidence_n to_o plead_v for_o a_o image_n by_o way_n of_o blame_v the_o churchwarden_n for_o not_o consult_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o vestry_n how_o to_o defend_v it_o better_o and_o that_o this_o lecturer_n shall_v be_v so_o zealous_o forward_a as_o to_o go_v to_o parishioner_n house_n with_o the_o churchwarden_n that_o be_v in_o 75_o to_o stir_v up_o they_o and_o their_o lodger_n and_o stranger_n also_o to_o contribute_v money_n towards_o bring_v organ_n into_o our_o church_n in_o 75._o and_o that_o this_o image_n shall_v be_v advance_v from_o the_o steeple_n and_o mount_v on_o the_o commandment_n and_o that_o our_o organ_n must_v be_v beautify_v in_o 77._o and_o that_o mr._n whitebread_n zeal_n shall_v be_v also_o just_a then_o stir_v up_o in_o 77_o to_o give_v we_o such_o rich_a furniture_n to_o our_o altar_n o_o mighty_a great_a foresight_n in_o this_o deep_a lecturer_n that_o he_o shall_v nick_v the_o lucky_a minute_n so_o well_o to_o time_n it_o so_o near_o the_o come_n out_o of_o the_o popish_a plot_n that_o so_o we_o may_v plead_v we_o have_v these_o thing_n in_o our_o church_n before_o a_o man_n will_v think_v he_o have_v consult_v ●a●her_o provincial_a whitebread_n his_o noun_n sell_v in_o the_o time_v it_o especial_o since_o mr._n sanders_n have_v a_o live_n at_o sandon_n in_o essex_n so_o near_o the_o parish_n of_o rittle_n on_o one_o hand_n and_o the_o great_a popish_a family_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n where_o this_o father_n provincial_a have_v his_o usual_a residence_n or_o resort_v i_o do_v not_o know_v who_o be_v the_o godfather_n of_o this_o saint_n michael_n but_o a_o hundred_o of_o our_o folk_n in_o this_o parish_n will_v tell_v you_o that_o mr._n sanders_n be_v the_o first_o that_o give_v occasion_n to_o be_v indict_v upon_o account_n of_o saint_n michael_n and_o that_o mr._n sanders_n be_v the_o first_o that_o bow_v his_o body_n before_o he_o and_o offer_v up_o prayer_n under_o his_o nose_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o no_o other_o way_n offend_v with_o the_o ceremony_n myself_o but_o for_o that_o in_o our_o church-warden's_a pew_n i_o can_v not_o hear_v the_o prayer_n say_v at_o the_o altar_n insomuch_o that_o i_o have_v be_v ask_v by_o stranger_n who_o i_o have_v let_v into_o that_o pew_n what_o be_v the_o minister_n do_v be_v he_o church_a of_o a_o woman_n and_o now_o we_o speak_v of_o woman_n the_o truth_n be_v the_o woman_n in_o many_o part_n both_o of_o the_o south_n and_o north_n isle_n can_v neither_o see_v nor_o hear_v the_o minister_n at_o the_o altar_n but_o perhaps_o it_o will_v be_v no_o great_a matter_n for_o the_o woman_n whether_o they_o hear_v or_o not_o if_o we_o have_v the_o same_o opinion_n of_o woman_n here_o in_o england_n that_o the_o turk_n have_v of_o they_o viz._n that_o woman_n have_v no_o soul_n but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o a_o great_a abhorror_n of_o that_o mahometan_a turkish_a opinion_n for_o i_o do_v real_o believe_v that_o woman_n be_v the_o fine_a creature_n and_o the_o best_a soul_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n a_o mighty_a pretty_a invention_n at_o first_o and_o the_o whole_a race_n of_o mankind_n will_v cease_v if_o we_o shall_v be_v deprive_v of_o that_o noble_a sex_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_o so_o mighty_o concern_v for_o they_o that_o i_o be_o and_o must_v be_v a_o earnest_a petitioner_n to_o the_o lord_n bishop_n that_o our_o church_n prayer_n may_v be_v say_v not_o only_a where_o woman_n may_v hear_v but_o also_o where_o they_o may_v all_o see_v and_o be_v see_v by_o we_o when_o i_o tell_v mr._n sanders_n that_o we_o can_v hear_v he_o answer_v what_o have_v you_o book_n for_o nay_o then_o quoth_v i_o if_o book_n will_v serve_v turn_n what_o need_v we_o parson_n when_o you_o go_v up_o to_o the_o altar_n let_v some_o go_v down_o to_o the_o font_n and_o pray_v to_o themselves_o and_o other_o be_v turn_v into_o cabal_n whisper_v together_o as_o some_o do_v or_o let_v we_o pray_v private_o thus_o to_o ourselves_o lord_n hear_v we_o for_o we_o can_v hear_v the_o parson_n libera_n nos_fw-la domine_fw-la for_o no_o parson_n can_v we_o see_v real_o gentleman_n these_o thing_n ought_v to_o be_v consider_v by_o we_o and_o we_o ought_v most_o humble_o to_o beseech_v our_o lord_n the_o bishop_n that_o we_o may_v have_v our_o service_n prayer_n and_o benediction_n all_o say_v in_o the_o desk_n and_o pulpit_n again_o as_o we_o use_v to_o have_v till_o this_o damnable_a hellish_a popish_a plot_n break_v out_o that_o we_o may_v all_o know_v what_o the_o parson_n be_v do_v and_o so_o may_v all_o join_v together_o in_o say_v amen_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v else_o prayer_n in_o latin_a or_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n may_v do_v as_o much_o good_a as_o prayer_n that_o we_o can_v hear_v but_o yet_o god_n forbid_v though_o we_o do_v understand_v a_o word_n he_o say_v that_o ever_o we_o shall_v desire_v he_o to_o alter_v his_o course_n without_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n if_o it_o be_v against_o law_n but_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o gentlemen_z because_o people_n can_v hear_v it_o drive_v many_o from_o our_o parish_n church_n shall_v we_o not_o have_v many_o dissenter_n at_o this_o rate_n and_o this_o aught_o to_o grieve_v we_o for_o it_o please_v the_o papist_n to_o see_v we_o begin_v more_o ceremony_n than_o we_o do_v before_o they_o hope_v we_o will_v a_o step_n
