to_o weet_v that_o the_o nonconsormists_n by_o these_o position_n lay_v down_o against_o their_o prelate_n do_v herein_o certain_o condemn_v their_o whole_a ministry_n allow_v by_o the_o law_n of_o

idle_a ceremony_n now_o mark_v reader_n how_o he_o plead_v for_o his_o mother_n as_o touch_v the_o worship_n he_o say_v nothing_o of_o it_o but_o of_o the_o rite_n only_o which_o be_v evil_n a_o

they_o will_v bear_v the_o world_n 18_o in_o hand_n as_o for_o a_o cap_n a_o tippet_n or_o surplus_n etc._n etc._n but_o for_o great_a note_n matter_n concern_v a_o true_a ministry_n and_o regiment_n of_o the_o church_n according_a to_o the_o word_n which_o thing_n once_o establish_v the_o other_o will_v melt_v away_o of_o themselves_o again_o another_o thus_o the_o question_n be_v not_o as_o it_o be_v every_o day_n in_o public_a sermon_n uncharitablie_o upbraid_v about_o trifle_n and_o thing_n of_o no_o weight_n as_o of_o variable_a ceremony_n and_o matter_n of_o circumstance_n which_o yet_o be_v to_o be_v square_v by_o counterp_v the_o sacred_a canon_n of_o holy_a scripture_n but_o about_o matter_n of_o no_o small_a importance_n even_o about_o the_o great_a and_o weighty_a cause_n of_o

our_o principal_a grief_n about_o the_o which_o alas_o brethren_n note_n we_o have_v now_o too_o long_o and_o unhappilie_o contend_v be_v that_o all_o false_a ministery_n and_o false_a government_n

etc._n etc._n nor_o to_o receive_v any_o absolution_n from_o they_o in_o a_o word_n not_o to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o they_o in_o any_o one_o thing_n which_o come_v from_o they_o as_o they_o be_v bishop_n archdeacon_n chancellor_n commiss_n official_o etc._n etc._n for_o this_o be_v a_o acknowledge_v of_o they_o and_o a_o way_n to_o maintain_v they_o in_o their_o usurpation_n pride_n 2._o

law_n of_o the_o realm_n and_o to_o prove_v this_o a_o argument_n may_v be_v frame_v thus_o whosoever_o shall_v allow_v or_o countenance_v in_o word_n or_o deed_n any_o foreign_a power_n authority_n or_o jurisdiction_n and_o more_o particulary_o of_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n make_v himself_o a_o transgressor_n to_o the_o king_n and_o to_o the_o law_n but_o such_o as_o obey_v the_o b●_n fool._n

the_o former_a be_v of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n touch_v the_o late_a to_o weet_v that_o the_o prelate_n exercise_v a_o foreign_a power_n authority_n and_o jurisdiction_n
