so_o trifle_v a_o cause_n but_o what_o do_v you_o mean_v by_o church_a do_v you_o mean_v that_o which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o book_n chancellor_n just_o i_o mean_v that_o and_o none_o other_o for_o law_n will_v not_o warrant_v we_o to_o press_v you_o to_o any_o other_o woman_n no_o nor_o i_o think_v to_o that_o neither_o if_o it_o be_v well_o examine_v but_o see_v you_o mean_v that_o kind_n of_o church_a the_o reason_n in_o a_o word_n why_o i_o refuse_v it_o be_v this_o because_o i_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o show_v myself_o either_o jew_n or_o papist_n chancellor_n why_o will_v thanksgiving_n to_o god_n after_o childbirth_n make_v you_o a_o lieu_n or_o a_o papist_n woman_n no_o thanksgiving_n will_v not_o but_o this_o manner_n of_o thanksgiving_n that_o you_o will_v have_v i_o to_o observe_v be_v in_o truth_n no_o thanksgiving_n at_o all_o but_o a_o mere_a jewish_a or_o popish_a purify_n chancellor_n how_o do_v you_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v no_o thanksgiving_n woman_n by_o the_o very_a first_o institution_n of_o it_o for_o the_o papist_n that_o be_v the_o worshipful_a founder_n and_o deviser_n of_o it_o and_o know_v best_a their_o own_o meaning_n do_v in_o the_o institute_n of_o it_o give_v it_o this_o title_n the_o purification_n of_o woman_n after_o childbirth_n whereby_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o their_o very_a drift_n and_o intent_n in_o th'institution_n be_v only_o for_o a_o purification_n or_o purge_v and_o therefore_o no_o thanksgiving_n second_o there_o be_v no_o one_o word_n matter_n or_o form_n of_o thanksgiving_n in_o the_o whole_a order_n of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o book_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v not_o be_v that_o it_o be_v ordain_v for_o thankesgivinge_v though_o in_o the_o title_n thereof_o it_o be_v absurdlie_o so_o call_v chancellor_n but_o why_o do_v you_o term_v it_o a_o jewish_a or_o a_o popish_a purify_n woman_n it_o be_v jewish_a in_o 2_o respect_n first_o in_o that_o the_o woman_n after_o she_o have_v bring_v forth_o a_o child_n be_v hold_v unclean_a as_o under_o the_o law_n till_o such_o time_n as_o she_o have_v show_v herself_o in_o the_o temple_n secondlie_o in_o that_o she_o be_v command_v to_o offer_v her_o accustom_a offering_n which_o be_v draw_v &_o derive_v from_o the_o lamb_n and_o young_a pigeon_n under_o the_o law_n popish_a it_o be_v in_o 3_o respect_n first_o in_o that_o it_o be_v institute_v and_o devise_v by_o the_o rapistes_n apishlie_o imitate_v the_o jew_n and_o bring_v in_o one_o kind_n of_o purify_n in_o stead_n of_o another_o second_o in_o that_o the_o woman_n be_v command_v to_o come_v as_o near_o the_o communion_n table_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n they_o come_v to_o the_o high_a altar_n last_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o popish_a offer_v to_o weet_v the_o chrisom_n for_o she_o be_v command_v to_o offer_v the_o accustom_a offering_n which_o be_v sete_n down_o to_o be_v the_o chrisom_n in_o which_o regard_n you_o may_v as_o instlie_o trouble_v i_o and_o call_v i_o hither_o for_o not_o offer_v the_o chrisom_n as_o for_o not_o be_v purify_v and_o as_o good_a law_n you_o have_v for_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o which_o make_v i_o think_v as_o i_o say_v before_o that_o you_o have_v no_o law_n amongst_o you_o but_o only_o the_o lawless_a law_n of_o your_o will_n and_o

saviour_n you_o see_v defend_v his_o disciple_n in_o the_o breach_n of_o that_o decency_n of_o those_o pharisee_n of_o that_o age_n and_o his_o word_n do_v warrant_n and_o defend_v we_o in_o the_o

you_o that_o by_o the_o mass_n a_o dog_n will_v not_o dwell_v with_o you_o woman_n i_o perceyve_v if_o a_o dog_n dwell_v with_o you_o if_o you_o can_v but_o make_v he_o speak_v once_o you_o will_v

of_o you_o as_o dog_n i_o know_v one_o of_o your_o crew_n who_o will_v not_o swear_v for_o no_o good_a and_o use_v ordinary_o to_o pray_v with_o his_o man_n in_o his_o chamber_n and_o yet_o be_v at_o

but_o a_o foolish_a custom_n and_o come_v from_o i_o at_o unaware_o and_o that_o many_o time_n when_o i_o think_v no_o harm_n in_o the_o world_n woman_n the_o apostle_n be_v against_o you_o in_o that_o for_o he_o say_v out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v and_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o out_o of_o the_o heart_n come_v evil_a thought_n and_o yet_o you_o
