call_v the_o house_n of_o prayer_n and_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n many_o of_o those_o humble_a and_o devout_a christian_n who_o sudden_a journey_n or_o business_n of_o present_a necessity_n be_v such_o as_o not_o to_o allow_v they_o time_n to_o attend_v the_o public_a worship_n and_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n will_v yet_o express_v their_o devotion_n by_o go_v into_o a_o church_n or_o oratory_n and_o there_o how_o at_o the_o altar_n then_o kneel_v and_o beg_v of_o god_n to_o pardon_v their_o sin_n past_a and_o to_o be_v their_o director_n and_o

a_o prayer_n and_o such_o a_o sacrifice_n much_o more_o may_v be_v say_v for_o bow_v at_o the_o altar_n and_o bow_v towards_o the_o east_n but_o i_o forbear_v and_o now_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o

that_o god_n have_v determine_v or_o appoint_v this_o because_o we_o be_v a_o sinful_a nation_n it_o shall_v be_v grant_v that_o we_o be_v god_n know_v we_o still_o be_v a_o sinful_a nation_n and_o

than_o indeed_o they_o be_v and_o you_o seem_v to_o repine_v because_o you_o do_v not_o consider_v how_o much_o must_v go_v out_o of_o they_o by_o first-fruit_n ten_o and_o other_o payment_n of_o

be_v it_o fit_a that_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o inferior_a clergy_n of_o his_o diocese_n and_o of_o many_o of_o the_o laity_n shall_v not_o have_v a_o liberal_a revenue_n and_o live_v in_o more_o plenty_n and_o splendour_n than_o the_o common_a people_n do_v or_o can_v do_v doubtless_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o let_v he_o be_v never_o so_o prudent_a and_o diligent_a so_o inward_o

and_o the_o small_a revenue_n that_o most_o of_o the_o bishop_n have_v may_v turn_v his_o malign_v they_o their_o revenue_n into_o a_o wonder_n how_o they_o make_v their_o revenue_n to_o do_v it_o
