who_o be_v the_o true_a 1._o light_n which_o light_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n come_v out_o of_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o sepulchre_n on_o which_o day_n our_o redemption_n appear_v more_o especial_o and_o evident_o and_o 2._o that_o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n there_o appear_v unto_o the_o apostle_n cleave_v tongue_n like_v as_o of_o fire_n and_o sit_v upon_o each_o of_o they_o and_o they_o be_v all_o fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o begin_v to_o speak_v with_o other_o tongue_n and_o that_o on_o this_o day_n likewise_o christ_n reveal_v to_o st._n john_n the_o excellent_a and_o admirable_a mystery_n describe_v in_o his_o revelation_n and_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v choose_v that_o day_n for_o their_o public_a exercise_n of_o piety_n and_o charity_n for_o the_o administration_n of_o sacrament_n and_o manifestation_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o it_o appear_v in_o the_o act_n and_o in_o 16._o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n i_o say_v all_o this_o be_v true_a the_o church_n think_v they_o may_v and_o ought_v to_o imitate_v the_o apostle_n and_o instead_o of_o the_o seven_o ordain_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n to_o be_v keep_v holy_a object_n it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o first_o epistle_n of_o st._n paul_n to_o the_o corinthian_n not_o to_o 6._o think_v of_o man_n above_o that_o which_o be_v write_v and_o in_o the_o 15_o chapter_n of_o st._n matthew_n in_o vain_a they_o do_v 9_o worship_n i_o teach_v for_o doctrine_n the_o commandment_n of_o man_n but_o the_o church_n of_o england_n think_v of_o man_n above_o that_o which_o be_v write_v and_o teach_v for_o doctrine_n the_o commandment_n of_o man_n as_o it_o appear_v in_o the_o common-prayer_n book_n which_o be_v appoint_v to_o be_v read_v in_o all_o their_o church_n wherein_o they_o enjoin_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o godfathers_n and_o godmother_n in_o baptism_n it_o appear_v also_o in_o the_o surplice_n music_n and_o organ_n practise_v especial_o in_o cathedral_n church_n therefore_o she_o be_v not_o the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n because_o to_o be_v so_o she_o ought_v to_o believe_v and_o practice_v the_o whole_a christian_a faith_n without_o add_v to_o or_o diminish_v from_o it_o answ_n the_o word_n of_o st._n paul_n and_o matthew_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o doctrine_n or_o point_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v to_o say_v it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o any_o man_n in_o whatever_o dignity_n or_o power_n he_o be_v to_o establish_v any_o article_n of_o faith_n beside_o what_o be_v establish_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n therefore_o st._n paul_n foresee_v that_o man_n will_v attribute_v to_o themselves_o a_o privilege_n belong_v to_o god_n only_o i_o mean_v that_o they_o shall_v establish_v article_n of_o faith_n not_o find_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o oftentimes_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v curse_v they_o and_o will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v anathema_n second_o i_o say_v when_o the_o church_n of_o england_n command_v and_o use_n common-prayer_n she_o do_v not_o think_v of_o man_n above_o that_o which_o be_v write_v nor_o teach_v for_o doctrine_n the_o commandment_n of_o man_n because_o in_o several_a place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o have_v a_o command_n to_o pray_v yea_o to_o pray_v by_o a_o form_n for_o when_o you_o pray_v say_v christ_n himself_o pray_v after_o this_o manner_n 9_o our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n and_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n not_o only_o command_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v but_o also_o to_o pray_v after_o a_o form_n which_o example_n they_o ought_v to_o follow_v in_o all_o other_o prayer_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o common-prayer_n which_o be_v make_v according_a to_o that_o form_n which_o by_o our_o saviour_n be_v set_v as_o a_o pattern_n i_o mean_v which_o conduce_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o salvation_n of_o soul_n and_o wherein_o nothing_o be_v find_v contrary_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o aught_o to_o be_v use_v in_o church_n and_o prefer_v before_o extempore_o prayer_n i_o say_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o extempore_o prayer_n first_o because_o in_o this_o sort_n of_o prayer_n we_o may_v let_v slip_n as_o it_o happen_v too_o often_o a_o bad_a doctrine_n or_o some_o point_v contrary_a to_o faith_n and_o either_o by_o inconsideration_n or_o ignorance_n we_o may_v ask_v that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o hurtful_a to_o our_o salvation_n and_o what_o good_a effect_n can_v a_o man_n hope_v from_o such_o prayer_n wherein_o be_v find_v so_o many_o imperfection_n but_o none_o of_o these_o fault_n be_v find_v in_o common-prayer_n we_o be_v certain_a they_o be_v orthodox_n and_o that_o therein_o we_o ask_v nothing_o hurtful_a unto_o we_o nor_o contrary_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n they_o be_v compose_v by_o they_o who_o represent_v the_o church_n i_o mean_v by_o a_o considerable_a number_n of_o learned_a and_o godly_a man_n who_o before_o they_o command_v they_o to_o be_v use_v in_o public_a do_v serious_o consider_v whether_o they_o be_v whole_o conformable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n second_o because_o in_o the_o prayer_n make_v extempore_o as_o dr._n beveridge_n do_v very_o beveridge_n well_o observe_v in_o his_o admirable_a sermon_n of_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o common-prayer_n we_o must_v first_o listen_v to_o what_o the_o minister_n will_v say_v next_o than_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v whether_o what_o he_o say_v be_v agreeable_a to_o sound_v doctrine_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v proper_a and_o lawful_a for_o i_o to_o join_v with_o he_o in_o the_o petition_n he_o put_v up_o to_o god_n almighty_a and_o if_o we_o think_v it_o be_v so_o than_o we_o be_v to_o do_v it_o but_o before_o we_o can_v well_o do_v that_o he_o be_v get_v to_o another_o thing_n by_o which_o mean_v it_o be_v very_o difficult_a if_o not_o moral_o impossible_a to_o join_v with_o he_o in_o every_o thing_n so_o regular_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v but_o by_o a_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n all_o this_o trouble_n be_v prevent_v for_o have_v the_o form_n continual_o in_o our_o mind_n be_v thorough_o acquaint_v with_o it_o full_o approve_v of_o every_o thing_n in_o it_o we_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o do_v whilst_o the_o word_n be_v sound_v in_o our_o ear_n but_o to_o move_v our_o heart_n and_o our_o affection_n suitable_o to_o they_o to_o raise_v up_o our_o desire_n of_o those_o good_a thing_n which_o be_v pray_v for_o to_o

three_o i_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v unlawful_a ceremony_n they_o be_v either_o gross_o idolatrous_a or_o else_o direct_o conduce_v to_o idolatry_n as_o some_o be_v find_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o to_o bow_v before_o image_n pray_v and_o offer_v incense_n unto_o they_o but_o i_o must_v also_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v some_o lawful_a they_o either_o conduce_v to_o have_v more_o respect_n towards_o god_n almighty_a or_o serve_v to_o incite_v our_o cold_a heart_n and_o inflame_v they_o with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o heavenly_a thing_n the_o ceremony_n which_o be_v practise_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v lawful_a because_o they_o be_v good_a and_o have_v no_o other_o end_n than_o the_o edification_n of_o soul_n and_o to_o cause_n in_o we_o more_o
