that_o form_n may_v have_v be_v of_o general_a use_n among_o the_o jew_n and_o then_o the_o next_o question_n be_v whether_o this_o way_n of_o serve_v god_n be_v abrogate_a in_o the_o new_a

in_o another_o way_n for_o he_o suppose_v both_o way_n lawful_a now_o if_o he_o grant_v that_o first_o then_o the_o way_n of_o stint_a form_n be_v not_o unlawful_a nor_o unsuitable_a to_o

yet_o the_o church_n have_v choose_v and_o enjoin_v the_o liturgick_a way_n as_o the_o most_o ancient_a universal_a and_o profitable_a way_n and_o reject_v the_o other_o her_o determination_n make_v
