to_o mr._n richard_n hooker_n about_o the_o write_n of_o his_o ecclesiastical_a polity_n in_o these_o word_n it_o may_v be_v remember_v that_o at_o the_o first_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o

dishonour_v to_o the_o reformation_n and_o infamy_n upon_o our_o nation_n the_o english_a congregation_n at_o frankford_n be_v settle_v after_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o foreign_a reform_a

that_o remain_v and_o receive_v the_o liturgy_n continue_v not_o long_o in_o unity_n but_o in_o a_o short_a time_n a_o incurable_a and_o scandalous_a schism_n break_v out_o between_o the_o pastor_n and_o almost_o the_o whole_a congregation_n last_o there_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n in_o the_o main_a business_n of_o the_o narrative_a in_o represent_v thing_n as_o settle_v by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o queen_n reign_n to_o please_v each_o party_n in_o the_o abolish_n of_o some_o and_o the_o retain_v of_o other_o ceremony_n whereas_o at_o the_o revive_n the_o reformation_n at_o that_o time_n the_o ceremony_n then_o abolish_v be_v offensive_a to_o all_o protestant_n and_o nothing_o appear_v to_o be_v do_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o anticeremonial_a

the_o protestant_a religion_n the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o state_n intend_v chief_o the_o bring_n over_o of_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n and_o to_o settle_v they_o in_o that_o profession_n and_o therefore_o think_v fit_a to_o make_v no_o more_o alteration_n from_o their_o old_a form_n than_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v make_v care_n be_v take_v that_o no_o part_n of_o the_o liturgy_n may_v be_v offensive_a to_o the_o papist_n and_o they_o according_o resort_v to_o our_o divine_a service_n for_o the_o first_o ten_o year_n also_o the_o retain_v of_o the_o ceremony_n be_v a_o

hereunto_o we_o make_v answer_v whosoever_o delight_n in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o ceremony_n may_v enjoy_v their_o liberty_n but_o let_v it_o suffice_v they_o to_o use_v it_o without_o lay_v a_o

of_o god_n but_o suppose_v that_o some_o have_v be_v immoderate_a in_o disparage_v those_o ritual_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n shall_v their_o value_n be_v so_o inhanse_v as_o to_o be_v think_v more_o worth_a than_o the_o church_n unity_n and_o the_o exercise_n of_o mutual_a charity_n among_o its_o member_n may_v not_o the_o church_n salve_v her_o honour_n by_o declare_v that_o in_o remit_v these_o

as_o any_o sort_n or_o number_n of_o ecclesiastical_a person_n can_v now_o pretend_v unto_o as_o concern_v the_o late_a war_n it_o be_v easy_a say_v then_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v undertake_v to_o

we_o conceive_v the_o controvert_v ceremony_n be_v no_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n nor_o any_o substantial_a part_n of_o her_o religion_n and_o do_v therefore_o hope_v that_o some_o indulgence_n therein_o will_v not_o fix_v upon_o she_o any_o brand_n of_o inconstancy_n it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o popish_a priest_n will_v hereby_o take_v advantage_n it_o seem_v then_o that_o great_a care_n must_v be_v take_v that_o the_o papist_n who_o be_v implacable_a adversary_n be_v not_o offend_v then_o that_o many_o thousand_o honest_o mind_v protestant_n shall_v be_v

thing_n be_v but_o indifferent_a yet_o great_a dissension_n have_v rise_v about_o they_o and_o be_v like_a to_o continue_v without_o end_n therefore_o the_o church_n have_v be_v necessitate_v to_o
