many_o of_o they_o deliberate_v so_o long_o whether_o they_o shall_v accept_v of_o dignity_n in_o the_o church_n if_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o lawful_a to_o hear_v the_o prayer_n and_o to_o

no_o doubt_n they_o have_v read_v but_o i_o question_v whether_o they_o understand_v he_o n._n c._n why_o shall_v you_o doubt_v it_o c._n because_o if_o we_o take_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n

a_o bold_a invention_n of_o man_n for_o which_o there_o be_v no_o revelation_n and_o then_o he_o speak_v against_o such_o superstitious_a people_n whether_o jew_n or_o other_o the_o minister_n can_v
