the_o former_a sense_n but_o must_v withal_o tell_v they_o that_o so_o they_o may_v as_o well_o accuse_v all_o our_o preach_v of_o this_o gross_a abuse_n and_o say_v we_o preach_v not_o upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o upon_o scrap_n and_o shred_n of_o it_o and_o that_o less_o shred_n too_o then_o the_o other_o few_o text_n be_v half_o the_o length_n of_o the_o very_o short_a epistle_n we_o have_v but_o why_o either_o our_o text_n or_o epistle_n and_o gospel_n shall_v be_v thus_o tax_v i_o see_v not_o the_o division_n of_o chapter_n not_o be_v canonical_a but_o make_v according_a to_o humane_a wisdom_n and_o discretion_n of_o this_o therefore_o no_o more_o i_o come_v to_o the_o three_o charge_n which_o be_v concern_v silence_n sit_v bow_v etc._n etc._n to_o which_o i_o must_v

it_o but_o their_o want_n of_o method_n i_o must_v needs_o pass_v over_o many_o time_n lest_o my_o book_n shall_v grow_v too_o big_a second_o i_o must_v tell_v they_o again_o that_o the_o book_n appoint_v none_o of_o these_o thing_n they_o here_o inveigh_v against_o therefore_o if_o those_o thing_n be_v as_o bad_a indeed_o as_o they_o will_v make_v they_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o purpose_n against_o the_o book_n which_o they_o pretend_v only_o to_o write_v against_o nevertheless_o be_v in_o many_o passage_n they_o labour_v to_o disgrace_v our_o church_n what_o they_o can_v as_o well_o as_o the_o book_n they_o write_v against_o i_o will_v if_o they_o will_v come_v to_o particular_n assay_v to_o answer_v all_o and_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v by_o these_o general_a word_n guess_v at_o their_o meaning_n i_o will_v brief_o answer_v they_o it_o have_v be_v the_o custom_n long_o ago_o in_o many_o church_n to_o stand_v up_o at_o the_o gospel_n and_o it_o be_v also_o usual_a at_o the_o name_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o say_v glory_n be_v to_o thou_o o_o lord_n and_o after_o the_o end_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o say_v thanks_o be_v unto_o god_n these_o i_o presume_v be_v the_o thing_n they_o aim_v at_o for_o the_o bow_n at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n be_v and_o be_v as_o much_o use_v in_o all_o part_n of_o service_n and_o sermon_n as_o of_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o

time_n in_o the_o sermon_n will_v stand_v up_o not_o only_o for_o their_o ease_n but_o to_o hearken_v the_o more_o attentive_o why_o then_o be_v it_o not_o as_o lawful_a so_o to_o do_v at_o the_o

then_o if_o they_o ask_v what_o need_v of_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v sufficient_a for_o that_o also_o we_o answer_v that_o we_o do_v it_o not_o as_o suppose_v defect_n therein_o but_o because_o they_o be_v book_n write_v by_o holy_a man_n and_o have_v be_v continual_o read_v public_o by_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o reverence_n thereto_o we_o think_v not_o fit_a whole_o to_o reject_v

they_o that_o be_v more_o than_o they_o can_v prove_v to_o
great_a weight_n and_o there_o say_v they_o will_v use_v but_o few_o word_n and_o i_o believe_v indeed_o that_o such_o objection_n or_o argument_n as_o they_o will_v bring_v forth_o for_o themselves_o to_o answer_v shall_v have_v no_o great_a weight_n in_o they_o lest_o they_o shall_v take_v upon_o they_o such_o a_o burden_n as_o they_o be_v neither_o able_a to_o bear_v nor_o to_o cast_v down_o ag●in_o handsome_o after_o they_o have_v once_o take_v it_o up_o brief_o therefore_o run_v over_o the_o argument_n here_o bring_v and_o their_o answer_n to_o they_o i_o shall_v at_o last_o use_v some_o argument_n myself_o for_o the_o continuance_n of_o our_o liturgy_n among_o we_o as_o well_o as_o they_o have_v do_v for_o the_o abolish_n of_o it_o but_o first_o to_o their_o objection_n the_o first_o they_o bring_v from_o the_o antiquity_n of_o it_o to_o which_o they_o tell_v we_o smectymnuus_n have_v answer_v who_o i_o never_o see_v and_o so_o know_v not_o what_o his_o answer_n be_v and_o so_o can_v say_v nothing_o to_o he_o but_o whereas_o they_o answer_v here_o that_o antiquity_n without_o truth_n be_v nothing_o i_o grant_v that_o but_o tell_v they_o withal_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o their_o purpose_n because_o what_o be_v most_o ancient_a must_v be_v suppose_v most_o true_a till_o the_o contrary_n be_v prove_v therefore_o their_o answer_n to_o the_o antiquity_n of_o this_o

like_v it_o to_o which_o they_o answer_v that_o their_o approbation_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o this_o i_o rejoin_v nor_o be_v their_o mislike_v and_o rail_v at_o it_o enough_o to_o condemn_v it_o for_o though_o they_o brag_v of_o more_o light_n than_o our_o forefather_n this_o new_a light_n be_v the_o common_a argument_n in_o these_o day_n for_o all_o thing_n do_v against_o the_o old_a light_n of_o god_n word_n yet_o all_o their_o l●ght_n have_v not_o show_v they_o how_o to_o frame_v such_o a_o liturgy_n as_o we_o have_v receive_v from_o our_o forefather_n and_o till_o they_o have_v make_v a_o better_a they_o may_v be_v content_a with_o this_o three_o they_o say_v our_o book_n have_v many_o good_a thing_n in_o it_o but_o answer_v so_o have_v the_o alcoran_n and_o the_o talmud_n but_o we_o reply_v that_o those_o book_n if_o they_o have_v some_o good_a thing_n in_o they_o which_o they_o be_v please_v to_o call_v many_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o many_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o evil_a with_o which_o they_o abound_v but_o our_o book_n abund_n with_o good_a if_o not_o free_a from_o some_o default_n the_o denomination_n then_o be_v to_o be_v take_v from_o the_o great_a part_n our_o

to_o this_o first_o they_o suppose_v a_o impossibility_n of_o amend_v second_o they_o say_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n course_n who_o command_v the_o altar_n to_o be_v throw_v down_o &c_n &c_n to_o this_o we_o say_v it_o be_v a_o vain_a and_o groundless_a supposition_n that_o every_o thing_n amiss_o in_o our_o liturgy_n may_v not_o easy_o be_v amend_v neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o they_o who_o it_o concern_v will_v soon_o amend_v what_o be_v distasteful_a to_o any_o quiet_a and_o moderate_a man_n if_o the_o violent_a opposition_n of_o troublesome_a and_o factious_a spirit_n not_o hinder_v it_o by_o the_o unreasonableness_n of_o their_o demand_n who_o when_o nothing_o in_o that_o kind_n do_v can_v satisfy_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n in_o respect_n of_o they_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o second_o we_o answer_v concern_v god_n command_v to_o cut_v down_o the_o altar_n burn_v the_o grove_n etc._n etc._n the_o case_n be_v very_o far_o different_a from_o

last_o it_o be_v not_o god_n course_n always_o in_o correct_v abuse_n rather_o to_o abolish_v the_o thing_n then_o to_o take_v away_o the_o abuse_n for_o we_o know_v our_o saviour_n speak_v against_o the_o abuse_n in_o fast_v prayer_n and_o alm_n do_v not_o take_v they_o away_o or_o forbid_v any_o of_o they_o but_o show_v how_o to_o amend_v the_o abuse_n and_o to_o make_v their_o answer_n good_a here_o they_o must_v plead_v against_o our_o church_n as_o well_o as_o our_o liturgy_n to_o the_o five_o this_o book_n they_o say_v have_v act_n of_o parliament_n to_o confirm_v it_o to_o which_o
