in_o answer_n to_o your_o fallacious_a question_n about_o the_o liturgy_n and_o prayer_n they_o desire_v to_o know_v if_o you_o put_v the_o question_n of_o the_o whole_a liturgy_n and_o all_o the_o

you_o will_v be_v understand_v then_o they_o say_v they_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o liturgy_n and_o prayer_n be_v not_o the_o same_o they_o be_v and_o by_o consequence_n that_o the_o proposition_n imply_v in_o your_o question_n be_v false_a for_o as_o change_a the_o name_n of_o god_n for_o the_o virgin_n mary_n in_o the_o invocatory_a part_n of_o any_o collect_n in_o the_o

of_o his_o enemy_n in_o the_o petitionary_a part_n of_o any_o collect_n make_v it_o quite_o another_o prayer_n not_o for_o the_o man_n as_o it_o be_v before_o the_o change_n of_o name_n but_o for_o his_o enemy_n and_o by_o consequence_n alteration_n of_o name_n alter_v the_o matter_n and_o intention_n of_o the_o prayer_n and_o make_v it_o as_o different_a from_o itself_o as_o the_o two_o man_n and_o their_o interest_n happen_v to_o be_v they_o suppose_v that_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v raze_v the_o name_n out_o of_o a_o petition_n to_o their_o majesty_n and_o put_v the_o french_a king_n name_n in_o their_o place_n that_o it_o will_v no_o long_o be_v a_o petition_n to_o they_o but_o to_o their_o mortal_a enemy_n and_o therefore_o in_o reply_n to_o the_o next_o question_n which_o follow_v about_o the_o same_o liturgy_n they_o say_v this_o change_n of_o name_n have_v change_v the_o prayer_n in_o the_o liturgy_n and_o that_o this_o change_v disgust_n their_o conscience_n and_o help_v to_o drive_v they_o from_o your_o church_n be_v one_o cause_n of_o their_o separation_n from_o the_o public_a and_o but_o one_o for_o as_o i_o just_a now_o show_v your_o grace_n there_o be_v another_o of_o which_o you_o be_v please_v to_o take_v no_o notice_n ay_o but_o you_o say_v they_o proceed_v so_o far_o as_o to_o declare_v open_a war_n and_o set_v up_o separate_a congregation_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o public_a to_o this_o they_o say_v for_o the_o foresay_a reason_n that_o they_o do_v not_o begin_v this_o spiritual_a war_n which_o on_o their_o side_n be_v pure_o defensive_a because_o they_o be_v drive_v from_o the_o public_a and_o that_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o will_v justify_v their_o separation_n from_o it_o will_v also_o justify_v set_v up_o separate_a meeting_n in_o opposition_n to_o it_o in_o which_o they_o think_v the_o pure_a church_n of_o england_n with_o her_o pure_a worship_n may_v be_v see_v and_o hear_v like_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n in_o the_o first_o persecution_n of_o christianity_n in_o the_o upper_a room_n and_o in_o reply_n to_o the_o great_a emphasis_n which_o to_o supply_v the_o want_n of_o argument_n you_o put_v upon_o separate_v from_o the_o public_a and_o set_v up_o congregation_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o public_a they_o pray_v you_o to_o consider_v that_o the_o multitude_n or_o great_a majority_n which_o usual_o make_v the_o public_a be_v often_o in_o the_o wrong_n you_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o the_o multitude_n or_o public_a be_v now_o the_o schismatic_n in_o scotland_n they_o be_v so_o under_o the_o donatist_n bishop_n in_o africa_n they_o be_v so_o in_o england_n under_o the_o popish_a marian_n bishop_n they_o be_v so_o under_o aaron_n in_o the_o business_n of_o the_o calf_n they_o be_v so_o in_o israel_n under_o ahab_n and_o the_o idolatrous_a priest_n and_o last_o they_o be_v so_o under_o the_o arian_n emperor_n and_o bishop_n throughout_o the_o whole_a roman_a empire_n in_o short_a my_o lord_n they_o say_v when_o the_o public_a be_v in_o the_o right_n and_o give_v no_o just_a cause_n of_o separate_n from_o it_o that_o then_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n to_o set_v up_o private_a meeting_n against_o it_o but_o when_o it_o be_v in_o the_o wrong_n and_o give_v just_a cause_n of_o separate_v it_o than_o become_v innocent_a and_o a_o duty_n to_o do_v so_o though_o the_o public_a be_v in_o possession_n of_o all_o the_o church_n as_o it_o usual_o be_v when_o safety_n honour_n and_o riches_n attend_v the_o err_a side_n i_o hope_v by_o this_o time_n my_o lord_n you_o
