irregularity_n but_o upon_o a_o fair_a prospect_n of_o some_o very_a considerable_a advantage_n for_o themselves_o and_o this_o be_v chief_o the_o maintain_n of_o the_o people_n in_o their_o blind_a obedience_n to_o the_o authority_n of_o their_o church_n which_o notwithstanding_o all_o her_o pretence_n to_o infallibility_n hold_v it_o to_o be_v both_o lawful_a and_o useful_a for_o man_n to_o make_v their_o spiritual_a exercise_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n though_o this_o be_v such_o a_o piece_n of_o blind_a obedience_n as_o will_v make_v we_o say_v to_o god_n in_o our_o daily_a address_n we_o know_v not_o what_o since_o the_o imaginary_a general_a intention_n of_o the_o church_n they_o pretend_v to_o be_v sufficient_a in_o this_o case_n can_v never_o supply_v the_o particular_a want_n of_o knowledge_n in_o what_o relate_v immediate_o to_o the_o good_a of_o our_o soul_n now_o how_o antichristian_a soever_o you_o may_v judge_v it_o to_o be_v to_o keep_v the_o scripture_n that_o be_v god_n letter_n patent_n to_o all_o mankind_n from_o the_o common_a people_n yet_o the_o papist_n be_v oblige_v through_o a_o principle_n of_o self-preservation_n to_o condemn_v the_o common_a use_n of_o so_o dangerous_a a_o book_n as_o they_o call_v the_o scripture_n and_o i_o confess_v it_o to_o be_v so_o for_o they_o as_o mention_v no_o where_o the_o fundamental_a and_o distinguish_a article_n

shake_v off_o the_o insufferable_a yoke_n of_o popery_n since_o they_o may_v soon_o understand_v by_o the_o daily_a perusal_n of_o the_o holy_a writ_n that_o these_o and_o the_o like_a new_a coin_a
