nor_o be_v a_o hindrance_n for_o minister_n to_o exercise_v the_o gift_n of_o prayer_n or_o to_o make_v they_o neglect_v it_o nor_o to_o justle_v out_o preach_v neither_o must_v man_n make_v the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n consist_v only_o or_o chief_o in_o hear_v prayer_n read_v with_o these_o caution_n we_o approve_v well_o of_o a_o liturgy_n wherefore_o let_v it_o be_v know_v we_o except_v not_o against_o liturgy_n in_o general_a and_o as_o such_o but_o in_o particular_a against_o such_o as_o we_o think_v to_o have_v just_a exception_n against_o either_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n or_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o use_v they_o as_o to_o those_o liturgy_n father_v upon_o st._n peter_n st._n james_n and_o mark_v they_o be_v spurious_a and_o be_v obtrude_v upon_o the_o world_n by_o the_o romanist_n although_o i_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o insist_v upon_o those_o place_n of_o the_o common-prayer-book_n which_o we_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o except_v against_o because_o other_o have_v do_v it_o before_o yet_o something_o must_v be_v say_v to_o it_o and_o we_o must_v come_v to_o some_o particlar_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o rubric_n concern_v the_o order_n how_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n beside_o the_o psalter_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v read_v in_o the_o first_o paragraph_n be_v a_o brand_n and_o a_o slight_a put_v upon_o holy_a canonical_a scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o it_o be_v say_v it_o shall_v be_v read_v through_o once_o every_o year_n except_o certain_a book_n and_o chapter_n which_o be_v least_o edify_v and_o may_v be_v spare_v yet_o instead_o of_o these_o be_v read_v several_a of_o the_o apocryphal_a book_n as_o ecclesiasticus_fw-la the_o wisdom_n 2d_o of_o esdras_n baruch_n judith_n tobith_n etc._n etc._n whereby_o a_o visible_a preference_n be_v give_v to_o those_o humane_a write_n before_o the_o authentic_a word_n of_o god_n for_o they_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o best_o edify_v and_o least_o to_o be_v spare_v in_o the_o point_n this_o be_v worse_a than_o papist_n who_o give_v the_o apocrypha_n and_o their_o tradition_n a_o equal_a authority_n to_o canonical_a scripture_n which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n when_o the_o other_o be_v the_o word_n of_o man_n but_o this_o as_o i_o already_o observe_v give_v the_o preference_n to_o some_o of_o the_o apocrypha_fw-la before_o some_o of_o the_o canonical_a i_o hope_v this_o shall_v be_v no_o question_n between_o we_o we_o all_o know_v the_o reason_n we_o have_v against_o papist_n about_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o apocrypha_fw-la first_o they_o be_v all_o write_v after_o the_o time_n of_o malachy_n the_o last_o of_o the_o prophet_n second_o none_o of_o the_o apocrypha_fw-la be_v write_v in_o hebrew_a which_o be_v the_o tongue_n use_v by_o the_o prophet_n three_o neither_o the_o jew_n nor_o the_o primitive_a apostolical_a church_n ever_o receive_v they_o as_o canonical_a four_o they_o be_v never_o

because_o in_o every_o thing_n they_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o the_o canonical_a scripture_n nor_o with_o themselves_o as_o have_v be_v show_v by_o some_o of_o our_o divine_n as_o whitaker_n

of_o god_n will_v be_v external_a worship_n it_o be_v sad_a to_o see_v how_o to_o defend_v these_o ceremony_n retain_v in_o our_o church_n they_o be_v put_v upon_o shift_n they_o be_v resolve_v to_o

to_o i_o when_o i_o hear_v such_o word_n to_o be_v with_o lombard_n durandus_fw-la occam_fw-la and_o other_o schoolman_n to_o hear_v of_o entity_n quiddity_n ut_fw-la qui_fw-la ut_fw-la quo_fw-la

but_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v their_o law_n be_v a_o addition_n to_o the_o word_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n all_o this_o while_n our_o ceremony_n go_v upon_o a_o wrong_a principle_n which_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o beat_v they_o off_o and_o this_o be_v it_o they_o think_v the_o church_n have_v power_n to_o institute_v all_o such_o thing_n but_o a_o preliminary_a question_n be_v who_o that_o

the_o laity_n must_v submit_v but_o this_o convocation_n never_o conclude_v any_o thing_n for_o the_o common_a good_a of_o the_o church_n they_o general_o be_v servile_a to_o those_o who_o they_o
