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

i_o may_v true_o thank_v god_n as_o for_o many_o other_o his_o mercy_n so_o especial_o for_o this_o that_o ever_o i_o come_v to_o this_o man_n ministry_n whom_n you_o so_o trouble_v amongst_o you_o i_o be_v indeed_o a_o protestant_n before_o and_o think_v well_o of_o myself_o and_o yet_o if_o i_o shall_v not_o lie_v to_o you_o i_o have_v no_o more_o religion_n than_o my_o horse_n but_o now_o i_o may_v true_o say_v that_o as_o my_o knowledge_n be_v in_o some_o measure_n increase_v so_o i_o never_o make_v conscience_n of_o sin_v and_o offend_v god_n till_o i_o come_v to_o the_o place_n where_o i_o now_o dwell_v all_o which_o as_o i_o must_v and_o do_v attribute_n to_o god_n as_o the_o author_n and_o founteine_v so_o to_o our_o minister_n as_o the_o mean_n and_o instrument_n chancellor_n indeed_o you_o have_v make_v a_o very_a worthy_a increase_n and_o mend_v the_o matter_n wondrous_a well_o and_o all_o this_o be_v for_o nothing_o else_o but_o because_o you_o be_v come_v from_o church_a to_o no_o church_a what_o a_o wonderful_a cure_n and_o charge_v your_o minister_n have_v wrought_v in_o you_o i_o believe_v he_o use_v to_o catechise_v you_o in_o nothing_o else_o but_o only_o in_o church_a you_o seem_v to_o be_v perfect_a in_o the_o point_n woman_n well_o i_o will_v you_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o discharge_v a_o good_a conscience_n in_o your_o place_n any_o of_o you_o chancelour_n aswell_o as_o our_o minister_n do_v in_o he_o his_o ordinary_a teach_n be_v thanks_n be_v to_o god_n in_o matter_n of_o more_o moment_n than_o you_o speak_v of_o and_o if_o you_o hear_v he_o once_o yourself_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o you_o will_v say_v so_o for_o i_o own_o part_n i_o never_o hear_v he_o speak_v public_o of_o this_o particular_a custom_n of_o church_v in_o my_o life_n further_o than_o may_v be_v gather_v out_o of_o any_o general_a doctrine_n of_o he_o indeed_o i_o confess_v i_o have_v have_v private_a conference_n with_o he_o about_o it_o and_o he_o have_v full_o satisfy_v i_o chancellor_n in_o what_o sort_n i_o pray_v you_o have_v he_o satisfy_v you_o may_v i_o be_v bold_a as_o to_o crave_v a_o copy_n or_o to_o be_v partaker_n with_o you_o of_o your_o ghostly_a father_n resolution_n woman_n why_o you_o have_v hear_v the_o most_o of_o they_o already_o and_o i_o have_v make_v know_v to_o you_o at_o large_a the_o reason_n that_o have_v move_v i_o to_o shake_v off_o and_o abandon_v this_o foolish_a and_o superstitious_a custom_n of_o you_o wherewith_o i_o have_v well_o hope_v you_o have_v be_v satisfy_v chancellor_n indeed_o you_o have_v tell_v i_o many_o pretty_a thing_n but_o yet_o they_o be_v such_o as_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o before_o why_o they_o be_v the_o common_a reason_n of_o you_o all_o among_o you_o i_o never_o have_v any_o of_o you_o before_o i_o but_o they_o have_v plead_v even_o as_o you_o do_v or_o to_o the_o same_o effect_n woman_n the_o more_o say_v i_o under_o correction_n have_v you_o to_o answer_v for_o that_o have_v have_v so_o manifest_a reason_n lay_v before_o you_o so_o long_o ago_o and_o the_o same_o so_o often_o iterate_v and_o repeat_v unto_o you_o there_o be_v yet_o no_o manner_n of_o relent_v in_o you_o but_o you_o do_v still_o persist_v and_o go_v on_o in_o your_o course_n in_o trouble_v poor_a woman_n without_o cause_n chancellor_n why_o you_o know_v my_o lord_n bushop_n go_v far_o with_o some_o of_o you_o not_o far_o from_o your_o quarter_n and_o make_v the_o proud_a of_o they_o crouch_v and_o come_v on_o their_o knee_n enforce_v they_o to_o be_v church_v in_o despite_n of_o they_o and_o that_o two_o or_o three_o year_n after_o they_o be_v lay_v you_o will_v think_v i_o deal_v hardly_o with_o you_o if_o i_o shall_v use_v any_o of_o you_o so_o woman_n now_o sure_o it_o be_v bushoplike_a do_v of_o he_o if_o he_o do_v so_o but_o what_o warrant_v i_o pray_v you_o have_v my_o lord_n to_o make_v they_o crouch_v in_o this_o manner_n as_o you_o speak_v of_o do_v the_o book_n or_o any_o law_n of_o the_o land_n authorize_v he_o to_o church_n a_o woman_n 3_o year_n after_o she_o be_v bring_v to_o bed_n show_v i_o that_o i_o pray_v you_o for_o my_o learning_n chancellor_n well_o you_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o that_o therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v good_a for_o you_o cousin_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o to_o meddle_v with_o your_o own_o matter_n &_o to_o be_v arm_v how_o to_o answer_v for_o yourself_o and_o not_o to_o deal_v in_o thing_n impertinent_a to_o your_o place_n woman_n content_a then_o you_o give_v i_o good_a counsel_n but_o remember_v yourself_o i_o pray_v you_o that_o it_o be_v you_o that_o bring_v in_o the_o bushop_n &_o not_o i._o i_o meddle_v not_o with_o he_o till_o you_o speak_v of_o he_o but_o to_o desire_v to_o be_v resolve_v in_o some_o thing_n of_o you_o be_v not_o i_o hope_v impertinent_a to_o my_o place_n be_v it_o chancellor_n no_o god_n forbid_v whatsoever_o you_o desire_v to_o be_v satisfy_v in_o be_v

thanksgiving_n you_o speak_v of_o who_o be_v it_o that_o you_o will_v have_v give_v thanks_n chancellor_n why_o the_o woman_n that_o have_v be_v deliver_v woman_n when_o be_v it_o that_o you_o will_v have_v she_o give_v god_n thanks_n chancellor_n when_o she_o be_v strong_a and_o able_a to_o go_v to_o church_n woman_n and_o not_o before_o will_v you_o have_v she_o forget_v herself_o and_o be_v unthankful_a till_o then_o chancellor_n nay_o god_n forbid_v i_o hope_v she_o have_v more_o grace_n than_o so_o but_o i_o speak_v of_o public_a thanksgiving_n &_o not_o of_o private_a woman_n why_o but_o the_o blessing_n you_o see_v be_v private_a and_o what_o reason_n be_v it_o then_o or_o what_o warrant_n or_o what_o example_n have_v you_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o ordinary_a set_v service_n in_o public_a for_o every_o private_a and_o particular_a blessing_n i_o will_v feign_v you_o resolve_v i_o in_o that_o if_o the_o minister_n be_v in_o duty_n bind_v to_o give_v god_n thanks_n for_o every_o private_a and_o particular_a blesh_n why_o not_o then_o as_o well_o for_o my_o husband_n fall_n of_o his_o horse_n as_o for_o my_o deliverance_n i_o tell_v you_o i_o hold_v my_o husband_n a_o far_o more_o worthy_a member_n of_o the_o church_n then_o myself_o and_o therefore_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o you_o shall_v not_o cause_v he_o to_o be_v church_v as_o well_o as_o i_o and_o so_o all_o other_o in_o our_o parish_n that_o have_v escape_v either_o drown_n or_o danger_n of_o death_n chancellor_n i_o think_v cousin_n you_o do_v not_o right_o consider_v of_o it_o as_o you_o shall_v do_v it_o be_v in_o my_o understanding_n another_o manner_n of_o thing_n than_o you_o take_v it_o for_o there_o be_v you_o must_v mark_v in_o the_o thing_n a_o double_a blessing_n the_o birth_n of_o a_o babe_n into_o the_o world_n be_v a_o excellent_a creature_n of_o god_n and_o the_o deliverance_n and_o dangerous_a escape_n of_o the_o woman_n no_o question_n but_o the_o church_n in_o this_o her_o service_n have_v a_o special_a reference_n and_o relation_n to_o both_o in_o which_o regard_n it_o may_v well_o be_v call_v more_o than_o a_o private_a or_o particular_a blessing_n woman_n something_o you_o have_v say_v to_o the_o matter_n and_o yet_o when_o it_o be_v examine_v it_o will_v be_v find_v nothing_o a_o double_a blessing_n you_o call_v it_o the_o birth_n of_o the_o babe_n and_o the_o deliverance_n of_o the_o woman_n but_o i_o say_v the_o church_n in_o that_o set_a service_n of_o she_o have_v no_o manner_n of_o respect_n at_o all_o to_o the_o former_a of_o they_o that_o be_v the_o birth_n of_o the_o child_n chancellor_n how_o prove_v you_o that_o woman_n by_o the_o very_a practice_n of_o our_o church_n whereof_o yourself_o may_v be_v a_o witness_n for_o if_o the_o woman_n die_v before_o her_o month_n there_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o service_n nor_o thanksgiving_n at_o all_o for_o the_o babe_n though_o it_o thrive_v and_o

at_o baptism_n chancellor_n well_o what_o of_o all_o that_o woman_n why_o then_o you_o must_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o hold_v my_o former_a opinion_n that_o for_o the_o church_n to_o establish_v a_o public_a service_n for_o every_o private_a and_o ordinary_a blessing_n as_o childbirth_n be_v be_v without_o ground_n or_o warrant_v
