much_o evil_n every_o way_n it_o ought_v to_o stir_v up_o authority_n to_o look_v into_o it_o for_o very_a reason_n teach_v we_o that_o which_o be_v no_o way_n useful_a nor_o needful_a for_o the_o

himself_o have_v appoint_v one_o and_o all_o christian_a church_n will_v have_v have_v that_o that_o have_v be_v needful_a to_o their_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o when_o god_n have_v neither_o appoint_v certain_a prayer_n to_o be_v daily_o read_v nor_o other_o christian_a church_n which_o be_v daily_o save_v never_o have_v any_o and_o when_o no_o man_n dare_v conclude_v that_o any_o man_n be_v ever_o exclude_v from_o heaven_n that_o never_o hear_v any_o divine_a service_n it_o seem_v a_o strange_a thing_n to_o i_o that_o such_o a_o piece_n of_o service_n in_o our_o church_n shall_v be_v authorize_v that_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o mass_n book_n and_o of_o the_o which_o all_o the_o learned_a in_o reform_a church_n where_o i_o have_v live_v wonder_v that_o such_o a_o learned_a

for_o a_o speedy_a way_n bring_v in_o the_o english_a service_n and_o discipline_n and_o then_o farewell_o immediate_o all_o true_a religion_n and_o the_o entire_a service_n of_o god_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o shall_v give_v so_o great_a and_o strong_a a_o weapon_n into_o their_o adversary_n hand_n as_o they_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o make_v good_a their_o proceed_n and_o

collect_v out_o of_o popish_a pamphlet_n this_o will_v be_v a_o absolute_a mean_n to_o extinguish_v that_o little_a knowledge_n they_o have_v already_o and_o bring_v in_o blindness_n in_o stead_n of_o it_o and_o with_o all_o the_o correspondency_n that_o be_v between_o they_o in_o rite_n ceremony_n and_o service_n will_v kindle_v a_o great_a love_n in_o the_o papist_n to_o their_o superstitious_a

they_o tender_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n the_o salvation_n of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o advancement_n of_o learning_n they_o can_v never_o admit_v of_o our_o service_n among_o they_o of_o all_o which_o they_o profess_v they_o think_v it_o a_o enemy_n and_o they_o add_v far_o that_o if_o they_o have_v ever_o believe_v that_o such_o form_n of_o prayer_n have_v be_v for_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o people_n they_o have_v thousand_o in_o their_o church_n that_o can_v make_v form_n of_o prayer_n and_o never_o
