and_o for_o this_o reason_n and_o no_o other_o that_o i_o commend_v order_n and_o decency_n and_o comeliness_n in_o a_o christian_a church_n and_o a_o gospel-worship_n because_o i_o conceive_v it_o real_o make_v for_o the_o advancement_n of_o godliness_n and_o have_v a_o natural_a tendency_n to_o the_o increase_n of_o true_a piety_n and_o religion_n so_o far_o be_o i_o from_o think_v it_o bear_v

any_o one_o can_v show_v any_o just_a cause_n why_o outward_a decency_n and_o inward_a devotion_n bodily_a service_n and_o spiritual_a worship_n due_a reverence_n without_o and_o true_a religion_n within_o the_o comely_a face_n of_o a_o church_n and_o the_o heavenly_a heart_n of_o a_o saint_n the_o beauty_n of_o holiness_n and_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n may_v not-be_n join_v together_o let_v he_o speak_v for_o my_o part_n i_o must_v needs_o profess_v and_o declare_v before_o god_n and_o man_n that_o i_o know_v none_o no_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n that_o i_o know_v why_o they_o
