apostle_n teach_v manifest_o as_o we_o have_v see_v so_o all_o learned_a man_n who_o be_v of_o sound_a judgement_n concern_v the_o magistrate_n office_n do_v with_o one_o consent_n affirm_v that_o these_o be_v the_o three_o chief_a part_n of_o the_o office_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o of_o every_o godly_a magistrate_n which_o thing_n be_v so_o i_o see_v not_o how_o your_o gracious_a majesty_n

of_o the_o church_n to_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o bishop_n misinform_v to_o be_v take_v on_o again_o and_o so_o propound_v they_o that_o you_o shall_v compel_v they_o by_o your_o commandment_n to_o receive_v they_o again_o for_o first_o this_o be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o first_o and_o chief_a part_n of_o the_o prince_n office_n for_o if_o the_o magistrate_n ought_v to_o have_v a_o

former_a and_o apostolical_a and_o so_o the_o more_o pure_a and_o simple_a form_n of_o religion_n final_o if_o as_o the_o apostle_n command_v we_o be_v to_o abstain_v not_o only_o from_o all_o evil_a but_o also_o from_o all_o appearance_n of_o evil_a to_o what_o end_n i_o beseech_v you_o most_o renown_a and_o most_o godly_a queen_n shall_v those_o thing_n be_v bring_v again_o into_o the_o church_n of_o god_n by_o the_o prince_n commandment_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o apostolical_a worship_n which_o smell_v of_o popish_a superstition_n which_o be_v neither_o

turn_v from_o ungodliness_n to_o godliness_n and_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o well_o ground_v they_o will_v be_v in_o great_a danger_n and_o if_o we_o speak_v according_a to_o man_n judgement_n they_o will_v rather_o look_v back_o to_o the_o old_a superstition_n to_o which_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v incline_v then_o fix_v and_o fasten_v their_o eye_n upon_o true_a religion_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v 〈◊〉_d a_o decree_n which_o will_v bring_v no_o advancement_n at_o all_o to_o godliness_n but_o may_v much_o further_a ungodliness_n for_o though_o these_o garment_n be_v not_o evil_a and_o unclean_a of_o and_o by_o themselves_o that_o be_v of_o their_o own_o nature_n yet_o because_o of_o the_o former_a and_o late_a abuse_n they_o be_v not_o altogether_o free_a from_o uncleanness_n certain_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o they_o will_v at_o the_o least_o ogive_v occasion_n of_o many_o evil_n and_o very_o grievous_a superstition_n now_o the_o very_a occasion_n also_o of_o

be_v to_o tempt_v god_n your_o famous_a majesty_n may_v well_o remember_v that_o not_o without_o cause_n it_o be_v write_v he_o that_o touch_v pitch_n shall_v be_v defile_v with_o it_o that_o the_o

the_o apostle_n why_o i_o beseech_v you_o be_v some_o king_n otherwise_o godly_a reprove_v and_o blame_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o they_o have_v not_o take_v away_o church_n or_o temple_n for_o

have_v the_o papist_n call_v they_o back_o again_o now_o whether_o it_o be_v better_a to_o follow_v the_o godly_a simplicity_n of_o the_o apostle_n or_o the_o ungodly_a pomp_n of_o the_o papist_n who_o be_v ignorant_a this_o recall_v of_o such_o popish_a garment_n your_o gracious_a majesty_n may_v believe_v i_o will_v be_v a_o great_a evil_n then_o peradventure_o it_o may_v be_v see_v even_o

of_o the_o popish_a church_n into_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n at_o this_o time_n what_o be_v it_o but_o to_o give_v the_o papist_n a_o occasion_n and_o the_o best_a that_o may_v be_v to_o confirm_v
