A05611	The ansvver of Iohn Bastwick, Doctor of Phisicke, to the exceptions made against his Letany by a learned gentleman which is annexed to the Letany it selfe, as articles superadditionall against the prelats. In the vvhich there is, a full, demonstration and proof of the reall absence of Christ in the sacrament of the Lords Supper, with the vanity and impiety of the consecreation of temples churches and chapples, also the necessity of the perpetuall motion and circulation of worship if men be bound to bow the knees at the name of Iesus. This is to follow the Letany as a second part thereof.; Litany. Part 2	Bastwick, John, 1593-1654.	1637 (1637)	STC 1573; ESTC S104507	58,802	32

all_o which_o you_o think_v will_v be_v censure_v of_o unad_a visednes_n at_o least_o if_o not_o think_v scandalous_a and_o punishable_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o by_o bishop_n i_o understand_v the_o prelate_n and_o by_o priest_n their_o own_o creature_n a_o generation_n unknown_a in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o by_o deacon_n the_o under_o priest_n in_o this_o kingdom_n officer_n of_o which_o the_o scripture_n know_v nothing_o likewise_o for_o the_o deacon_n such_o as_o the_o church_n choose_v and_o be_v allow_v by_o the_o apostel_n they_o be_v man_n of_o gravity_n full_a of_o faith_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n man_n of_o wisdom_n and_o good_a government_n and_o honesty_n and_o be_v the_o treasure_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o distribute_v the_o liberalitye_n of_o the_o saint_n among_o the_o poor_a indigent_a and_o necessitate_a brethren_n now_o i_o know_v never_o a_o deacon_n in_o england_n either_o guilty_a of_o any_o

least_o care_n of_o they_o who_o ordinary_o they_o trample_v upon_o and_o most_o reproachful_o abuse_v with_o the_o name_n of_o rascality_n so_o that_o such_o deacon_n as_o i_o pray_v against_o be_v limb_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o the_o inferior_a order_n of_o shaveling_n &_o such_o as_o ought_v to_o be_v spew_v out_o of_o the_o church_n as_o profitable_a for_o nothing_o but_o the_o increase_n of_o wickedness_n and_o for_o bishop_n such_o as_o god_n appoint_v i_o honour_v they_o and_o will_v maintain_v their_o dignity_n to_o the_o last_o drop_n of_o my_o blood_n so_o far_o i_o be_o from_o
