A73049	Englands pvrginge fire Conteyninge two petitions, the one to the Kinges most excellent Majesty, the other to the High Courte of Parliament held at this tyme in England. Shewinge in diverse perticulers, how the Church in England might be ordered, yet more conformably to the Will of God reveiled in his worde then at this day it is. Herewithall is declared, the evell and lamentable effects of our vnable and negligent ministers: and the happy fruict of our learned and painefull pastors. A worke most needefull for theise tymes, as servinge to turne away the wrath and iudgements of God from this lande, through the removinge, (accordinge to the advertisements herein given) such disorders and evells, as for which the wrath of God may be, and is, kindled against this Land, and the church therein.

care_n of_o and_o surther_v the_o people_n resort_n unto_o the_o same_o it_o be_v true_o worthy_a our_o observation_n that_o unto_o the_o manner_n of_o divine_a service_n ordain_v in_o the_o wilderness_n god_n approve_v of_o the_o addition_n of_o king_n and_o prophet_n make_v in_o lyme_n when_o the_o church_n be_v in_o peace_n and_o prosperity_n for_o here_o we_o read_v of_o the_o word_n of_o david_n and_o asaph_n the_o secr_n also_o of_o the_o instrument_n of_o david_n king_n of_o israel_n neither_o of_o which_o live_v in_o the_o time_n when_o the_o church_n be_v in_o the_o wilderness_n if_o therefore_o god_n approve_v of_o this_o addition_n which_o make_v in_o some_o measure_n a_o change_n of_o the_o former_a manner_n of_o divine_a service_n why_o shall_v we_o under_o the_o christianity_n think_v that_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o magnificence_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v not_o acceptable_a they_o be_v therefore_o to_o be_v reprove_v who_o contend_v against_o the_o magnisicent_a manner_n of_o divine_a service_n ordain_v by_o god_n king_n and_o priest_n and_o not_o dissonant_n from_o his_o former_a reveiled_a will_n which_o we_o find_v establish_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n after_o the_o king_n and_o prince_n embrace_v the_o christian_a faith_n neither_o ought_v any_o to_o think_v that_o king_n be_v convert_v to_o god_n they_o have_v not_o a_o special_a prerogative_n in_o orderinge_v the_o set_a form_n of_o divine_a service_n i_o grant_v they_o be_v not_o leave_v whole_o at_o liberty_n to_o do_v what_o pleaserrh_n they_o for_o i_o note_v before_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n that_o the_o commandment_n be_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o prophet_n but_o yet_o this_o i_o say_v that_o under_o the_o christianity_n where_o we_o have_v not_o new_a revelation_n for_o all_o thing_n there_o the_o king_n and_o god_n priest_n have_v power_n to_o order_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o divine_a worship_n so_o as_o they_o do_v nothing_o in_o substance_n against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n already_o reveil_v they_o may_v indeed_o under_o the_o shield_n of_o this_o liberty_n bring_v in_o many_o vain_a and_o nnseemely_a thing_n but_o we_o trust_v to_o god_n strong_a hand_n over_o they_o and_o if_o they_o be_v so_o ill_o mind_v yet_o we_o need_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v in_o due_a time_n discover_v their_o evell_n and_o raise_v up_o redress_v for_o his_o church_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o more_o faithful_a servant_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n if_o they_o command_v thing_n which_o in_o themselves_o be_v not_o against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n reveil_v we_o be_v safe_a in_o obey_v then_o resistinge_v i_o approve_v not_o therefore_o of_o those_o who_o contemptuouse_o speak_v of_o the_o solemn_a service_n of_o our_o cathedral_n church_n speak_v rather_o their_o own_o singular_a conceit_n then_o that_o which_o have_v any_o sound_n warrant_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n these_o thing_n consider_v i_o now_o for_o this_o matter_n conclude_v that_o god_n be_v to_o be_v bless_v for_o your_o majesty_n judgement_n and_o wisdom_n in_o retayninge_v still_o under_o the_o reformation_n the_o magnificent_a manner_n of_o god_n divine_a worship_n use_v in_o our_o cathedral_n church_n and_o in_o some_o few_o other_o place_n for_o seinge_v the_o same_o be_v order_v by_o former_a prince_n and_o bishop_n it_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v retain_v save_v only_o wherein_o we_o have_v direct_a warrant_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o by_o evidence_n of_o evell_n to_o alter_v &_o reform_v the_o same_o for_o we_o owe_v a_o reverence_n to_o that_o which_o former_a minister_n of_o god_n have_v order_v save_v in_o thing_n which_o either_o be_v direct_o against_o god_n word_n or_o which_o carry_v with_o they_o a_o evidence_n of_o evell_n but_o now_o as_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n i_o bless_v god_n for_o your_o majesty_n continue_v the_o stately_a worship_n of_o god_n in_o our_o cathedral_n church_n so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n i_o humble_o pray_v that_o i_o may_v make_v two_o petition_n the_o first_o that_o the_o people_n understandinge_n may_v be_v more_o yet_o tender_v then_o hitherto_o it_o hàth_v be_v the_o second_o that_o the_o sing_v man_n and_o other_o employ_v in_o any_o service_n may_v be_v take_v care_n of_o that_o they_o be_v of_o a_o honest_a religious_a and_o holy_a life_n and_o conversation_n for_o the_o better_a performance_n of_o the_o first_o it_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a that_o whatsoever_o be_v sunge_a or_o play_v in_o that_o solemn_a divine_a service_n be_v print_v in_o book_n that_o the_o same_o may_v be_v read_v by_o the_o people_n at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o sing_v or_o play_v the_o same_o in_o the_o quire_n neither_o this_o only_a but_o it_o be_v also_o good_a that_o the_o people_n be_v instruct_v both_o ready_o to_o know_v what_o be_v sunge_a or_o play_v and_o also_o ready_o to_o turn_v to_o the_o same_o in_o the_o book_n where_o they_o may_v read_v it_o yea_o child_n shall_v be_v teach_v this_o in_o the_o school_n that_o so_o be_v train_v up_o hérein_o they_o may_v in_o their_o age_n resort_v proffitable_o to_o this_o solemn_a service_n also_o sometime_o aswell_o as_o to_o their_o own_o parish_n church_n ordinary_o for_o dread_a sovereign_n though_o charitable_o and_o religious_o your_o predecessor_n have_v cause_v the_o divine_a service_n to_o be_v translate_v into_o the_o english_a tongue_n yet_o partly_o because_o all_o that_o assemble_v can_v conveniët_o assemble_v in_o the_o choir_n neither_o cann_v the_o choir_n be_v alter_v because_o of_o the_o fittinge_n the_o same_o to_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o singer_n that_o they_o may_v hear_v one_o a_o other_o partly_o because_o song_n can_v be_v so_o distinct_a as_o that_o the_o hearer_n can_v far_o off_o discern_v what_o be_v sing_v partly_o because_o the_o music_n play_v some_o time_n alone_o in_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n when_o yet_o some_o thing_n be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v intend_v the_o tune_n whereof_o be_v with_o art_n of_o music_n play_v alone_o and_o last_o because_o the_o common_a sort_n be_v not_o skilful_a in_o the_o order_n what_o be_v now_o sunge_a what_o then_o play_v therefore_o your_o people_n be_v even_o in_o these_o time_n little_o better_a then_o if_o the_o service_n be_v perform_v in_o a_o strange_a tongue_n herethrough_a chief_o it_o be_v that_o your_o people_n do_v not_o common_o so_o respect_v that_o solemn_a service_n as_o they_o ought_v neither_o indeed_o care_n at_o all_o to_o resort_v to_o the_o same_o at_o any_o time_n yea_o and_o most_o of_o those_o that_o do_v sometime_o come_v to_o the_o same_o come_v near_o only_o when_o some_o thing_n be_v read_v out_o of_o the_o bible_n or_o when_o those_o prayer_n be_v say_v which_o easy_o they_o cann_v discern_v and_o understande_v but_o when_o any_o thing_n be_v do_v in_o song_n or_o when_o the_o music_n silent_o play_v you_o shall_v then_o sin_v they_o to_o retire_v themselves_o and_o to_o give_v themselves_o to_o walk_v and_o talk_v other_o of_o the_o yet_o simple_a sort_n of_o people_n be_v even_o as_o those_o under_o popery_n please_v with_o the_o tune_n only_o and_o delight_v with_o the_o song_n and_o
