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

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

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

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
