deprive_v the_o people_n of_o the_o benefit_n and_o comfort_n of_o the_o scripture_n upon_o so_o irrational_a and_o frivolous_a a_o pretence_n be_v evident_o injust_a in_o they_o and_o not_o only_o

it_o be_v abundant_o sufficient_a to_o justify_v our_o separation_n from_o rome_n reason_n 2_o but_o second_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v not_o only_o deprive_v the_o people_n of_o the_o benefit_n

whole_a chapter_n to_o this_o purpose_n and_o with_o so_o much_o zeal_n and_o so_o many_o reason_n demonstrate_v that_o public_a prayer_n and_o divine_a service_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v in_o a_o unknown_a language_n that_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n that_o any_o who_o pretend_v to_o be_v christian_n shall_v as_o they_o of_o rome_n do_v dare_v to_o contradict_v a_o apostle_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o holy_a spirit_n by_o which_o he_o speak_v i_o know_v that_o some_o of_o the_o great_a 9_o writer_n for_o rome_n and_o the_o vindication_n of_o their_o sacred_a office_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n endeavour_v to_o answer_v the_o apostle_n reason_n in_o this_o chapter_n but_o with_o such_o insignificant_a and_o miserable_a shift_n that_o you_o will_v easy_o see_v that_o they_o endeavour_v that_o which_o they_o can_v possible_o do_v 2._o and_o that_o it_o be_v as_o manifest_o against_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n jewish_n and_o christian_a in_o all_o age_n be_v as_o manifest_v and_o by_o sober_a and_o ingenuous_a person_n of_o the_o roman_a communion_n confess_v now_o do_v you_o consider_v how_o pernicious_a this_o must_v needs_o be_v to_o the_o people_n to_o deprive_v they_o of_o that_o great_a comfort_n and_o edification_n which_o they_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o have_v have_v by_o the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n in_o a_o language_n by_o they_o understand_v especial_o see_v cardinal_n contarenus_n and_o cajetan_n convince_v of_o this_o truth_n confess_v in_o the_o place_n now_o cite_v that_o if_o the_o sacred_a office_n and_o public_a prayer_n be_v in_o a_o know_a tongue_n it_o will_v tend_v much_o more_o to_o the_o edification_n and_o benefit_n of_o the_o people_n reason_n 3_o three_o while_o we_o be_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o one_o half_a of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v take_v from_o we_o therefore_o we_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o separate_v from_o their_o
