fashion_n and_o thing_n which_o be_v very_o far_o from_o the_o heart_n and_o many_o remove_n from_o the_o essence_n of_o religion_n nay_o thing_n which_o be_v shadow_n and_o mere_a nothing_o when_o compare_v with_o the_o substantial_a matter_n wherein_o we_o be_v agree_v nay_o further_o i_o be_o bold_a to_o say_v we_o be_v all_o agree_v in_o these_o inferior_a matter_n of_o difference_n and_o do_v not_o know_v it_o for_o instance_n we_o be_v all_o agree_v that_o kneel_v at_o the_o sacrament_n be_v no_o part_n of_o our_o saviour_n institution_n that_o kneel_v at_o the_o most_o solemn_a prayer_n that_o can_v be_v be_v a_o fit_a posture_n that_o kneel_v to_o the_o sacrament_n in_o imitation_n of_o or_o compliance_n with_o the_o popish_a worship_n of_o the_o host_n be_v absolute_o unlawful_a and_o yet_o we_o squabble_v and_o will_v not_o hear_v one_o another_o out_o nor_o understand_v one_o another_o meaning_n but_o scuffle_v in_o the_o dark_a when_o we_o be_v all_o friend_n and_o all_o of_o a_o side_n in_o short_a all_o the_o distance_n that_o be_v betwixt_o english_a protestant_n be_v occasion_v by_o little_a mistake_v and_o misapprehension_n about_o very_o little_a matter_n and_o still_o they_o be_v so_o much_o of_o one_o mind_n even_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n in_o difference_n that_o if_o the_o conformist_n think_v the_o ceremony_n popish_a they_o will_v immediate_o turn_v nonconformist_n and_o if_o the_o nonconformist_n do_v not_o apprehend_v they_o to_o be_v popish_a they_o will_v never_o have_v scruple_v they_o so_o that_o they_o both_o of_o they_o plain_o mean_v the_o same_o thing_n hooper_n scruple_v the_o ceremony_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o popish_a ceremony_n and_o under_o the_o same_o notion_n ridley_n will_v have_v hate_v and_o reject_v they_o ridley_n and_o the_o other_o bishop_n say_v in_o defence_n of_o these_o ceremony_n that_o they_o be_v small_a matter_n and_o that_o the_o fault_n be_v in_o the_o abuse_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o not_o in_o the_o thing_n themselves_o and_o that_o hooper_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v so_o stubborn_a in_o so_o light_a a_o matter_n and_o that_o his_o wilfulness_n therein_o be_v not_o to_o be_v suffer_v and_o will_v not_o hooper_n himself_o have_v pass_v the_o same_o censure_n upon_o his_o own_o refusal_n if_o he_o have_v have_v just_o the_o same_o thought_n and_o opinion_n of_o the_o ceremony_n but_o he_o think_v that_o a_o thing_n in_o itself_o indifferent_a but_o have_v be_v abuse_v to_o superstitious_a purpose_n can_v never_o after_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o indifferent_a and_o innocent_a but_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n pass_v under_o that_o notion_n which_o common_a and_o corrupt_a usage_n have_v put_v upon_o it_o and_o that_o it_o be_v spoil_v and_o have_v utter_o lose_v its_o former_a indifferency_n for_o which_o reason_n these_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n be_v offensive_a to_o his_o conscience_n as_o the_o king_n be_v grant_v of_o dispensation_n to_o he_o by_o the_o advice_n of_o the_o privy_a council_n express_v it_o but_o cranmer_n and_o ridley_n and_o the_o other_o bishop_n be_v so_o far_o determine_v by_o the_o law_n that_o the_o king_n dispensation_n grant_v to_o hooper_n upon_o that_o occasion_n do_v not_o take_v place_n nor_o indeed_o be_v it_o in_o their_o power_n to_o admit_v of_o it_o for_o be_v these_o ceremony_n be_v enact_v by_o law_n and_o fasten_v to_o the_o freehold_a and_o make_v part_n of_o the_o establishment_n by_o the_o universal_a consent_n of_o the_o nation_n nothing_o but_o the_o same_o consent_n can_v take_v they_o away_o again_o now_o therefore_o the_o nicety_n of_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o lay_v in_o this_o whether_o ceremony_n which_o be_v once_o indifferent_a and_o have_v be_v abuse_v may_v be_v so_o purge_v and_o free_v from_o those_o abuse_n as_o to_o become_v indifferent_a and_o fit_a to_o be_v use_v again_o and_o this_o be_v a_o matter_n so_o hard_a to_o be_v decide_v that_o it_o must_v be_v weigh_v in_o gold_n scales_n where_o the_o very_a lest_o moment_n or_o even_o a_o man_n breath_n on_o the_o one_o side_n or_o the_o other_o be_v sufficient_a to_o incline_v the_o balance_n for_o it_o be_v with_o indifferent_a ceremony_n and_o usage_n as_o it_o be_v with_o word_n that_o be_v indifferent_a the_o word_n ballad_n be_v once_o a_o innocent_a and_o inoffensive_a word_n and_o signify_v as_o the_o word_n song_n now_o do_v but_o the_o word_n have_v be_v abuse_v and_o apply_v to_o the_o mean_a and_o most_o rascally_a sort_n of_o poetry_n and_o have_v for_o a_o long_a time_n be_v take_v in_o the_o worse_a sense_n suppose_v therefore_o that_o some_o man_n desirous_a to_o speak_v as_o their_o forefather_n do_v who_o call_v the_o book_n of_o canticle_n the_o ballad_n of_o ballad_n as_o reverent_o as_o we_o now_o call_v it_o the_o song_n of_o song_n shall_v say_v that_o if_o authority_n require_v that_o this_o word_n be_v use_v in_o its_o first_o and_o best_a sense_n why_o then_o we_o may_v very_o lawful_o and_o reverent_o use_v it_o in_o that_o sense_n again_o because_o though_o the_o word_n have_v be_v abuse_v and_o ill_o apply_v yet_o the_o fault_n be_v in_o the_o abuse_n of_o the_o word_n and_o not_o in_o the_o word_n itself_o and_o further_o that_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o refuse_v to_o read_v that_o book_n upon_o this_o trifle_a account_n because_o he_o dislike_v the_o title_n of_o it_o especial_o when_o a_o public_a law_n have_v declare_v that_o the_o selfsame_a be_v mean_v by_o this_o title_n as_o if_o the_o dissenter_n have_v have_v the_o word_v of_o it_o himself_o to_o his_o own_o mind_n and_o have_v call_v it_o the_o hymn_n of_o hymn_n this_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o what_o cranmer_n and_o ridley_n say_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n hooper_n opinion_n in_o this_o suppose_a case_n be_v that_o though_o our_o forefather_n have_v use_v that_o word_n very_o religious_o and_o reverent_o yet_o it_o have_v since_o be_v so_o corrupt_v and_o abuse_v and_o have_v contract_v so_o profane_a a_o signification_n as_o no_o authority_n can_v whole_o deface_v nor_o can_v so_o inoffensive_o restore_v the_o word_n to_o be_v use_v in_o religious_a matter_n any_o more_o but_o that_o sober_a man_n will_v always_o hau●_n a_o prejudice_n against_o it_o this_o be_v hooper_n very_a sense_n he_o look_v upon_o the_o reform_a ceremony_n as_o still_o retain_v a_o popish_a tang._n but_o though_o a_o law_n can_v not_o cure_v his_o prejudices_fw-la yet_o that_o and_o the_o high_a consideration_n of_o do_v service_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n do_v quite_o over-rule_v they_o and_o he_o wise_o comply_v with_o those_o ceremony_n which_o if_o he_o have_v be_v leave_v to_o his_o choice_n he_o will_v rather_o have_v forbear_v obj._n but_o now_o it_o may_v here_o be_v object_v and_o say_v that_o when_o the_o clergy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n see_v that_o good_a man_n and_o great_a man_n and_o the_o glorious_a martyr_n of_o

be_v impose_v by_o law_n and_o not_o have_v leave_v they_o to_o remain_v as_o a_o stand_a offence_n and_o a_o perpetual_a stumbling-block_n to_o all_o other_o of_o hooper_n mind_n answ._n this_o i_o
