by_o decry_v a_o pious_a liturgy_n and_o form_n of_o divine_a worship_n by_o leave_v church_n utter_o void_a and_o no_o minister_n to_o attend_v their_o desolate_a congregation_n in_o their_o holy_a

into_o the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o that_o there_o be_v still_o some_o very_a considerable_a and_o very_o deplorable_a vanity_n in_o our_o divine_a service_n be_v too_o visible_a and_o apparent_a and_o by_o the_o good_a providence_n of_o god_n i_o be_o here_o this_o day_n as_o solomon_n amanuensis_fw-la as_o one_o that_o have_v take_v some_o short_a note_n out_o of_o his_o great_a sermon_n and_o in_o a_o humble_a way_n to_o give_v you_o some_o notice_n of_o they_o since_o we_o be_v so_o happy_o meet_v together_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o in_o the_o lord_n house_n i_o can_v not_o

and_o to_o observe_v the_o prescription_n of_o his_o most_o holy_a will_n both_o for_o the_o matter_n and_o form_n of_o it_o and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o this_o text_n will_v direct_v we_o in_o both_o the_o part_n of_o it_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o i_o have_v not_o manage_v my_o meditation_n on_o this_o argument_n so_o as_o to_o please_v all_o but_o as_o near_o as_o i_o can_v to_o edify_v
