will_v prove_v a_o most_o expedite_a way_n to_o bring_v in_o atheism_n and_o this_o it_o seem_v you_o do_v already_o discern_v and_o confess_v in_o the_o next_o word_n that_o the_o no_o prayer_n at_o all_o which_o succeed_v the_o abolish_n of_o the_o liturgy_n be_v rather_o to_o make_v they_o heather_n then_o christian_n and_o have_v leave_v the_o lord_n day_n without_o any_o mark_n of_o piety_n

therefore_o we_o aâ—e_v apt_a to_o believe_v your_o charity_n to_o be_v more_o extensive_a than_o the_o title_n of_o that_o book_n enlarge_v it_o and_o that_o it_o have_v design_v this_o supply_n not_o only_o to_o those_o ship_n but_o to_o all_o other_o in_o the_o like_a want_n of_o our_o liturgy_n your_o only_a blame_n in_o this_o particular_a have_v be_v that_o you_o will_v not_o be_v so_o

than_o you_o will_v to_o rescue_v man_n from_o heathenism_n cause_v by_o your_o abolition_n restore_v the_o book_n again_o and_o confess_v you_o have_v sin_v in_o condemn_v a_o innocent_a liturgy_n will_v appoint_v some_o assembler_n to_o compile_v a_o poor_a sorry_a piteous_a form_n of_o his_o own_o of_o which_o i_o will_v appeal_v to_o your_o great_a flatterer_n if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o low_a that_o it_o can_v come_v into_o any_o term_n of_o comparison_n or_o competition_n with_o those_o form_n already_o prescribe_v in_o our_o book_n and_o so_o still_o you_o justify_v your_o error_n even_o

in_o the_o apostle_n time_n there_o be_v divers_a gift_n and_o all_o minister_n have_v not_o promise_v to_o succeed_v in_o all_o but_o one_o in_o one_o another_o in_o another_o gift_n by_o the_o
