as_o need_v this_o new_a dispute_n to_o take_v it_o off_o but_o it_o be_v true_a enough_o that_o the_o debate_n about_o human_a invention_n do_v more_o particular_o concern_v baptism_n than_o the_o other_o part_n of_o worship_n his_o lordship_n have_v insist_v on_o and_o therefore_o since_o the_o bishop_n have_v offer_v we_o something_o new_a on_o this_o subject_a i_o shall_v the_o more_o willing_o address_v myself_o to_o the_o examination_n of_o it_o because_o the_o precedent_a part_n of_o the_o admonition_n have_v leave_v the_o argument_n between_o we_o almost_o whole_o untouched_a and_o contain_v little_a but_o such_o slight_a cavil_n about_o it_o as_o be_v in_o effect_n obviate_v in_o the_o remark_n themselves_o and_o here_o i._o the_o bishop_n give_v we_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o omit_v this_o part_n of_o worship_n viz._n 1._o because_o it_o be_v occasional_a 173._o admon_n p._n 172_o 173._o not_o ordinary_a 1._o answ_n but_o he_o know_v that_o in_o a_o discourse_n about_o the_o invention_n of_o man_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n it_o be_v proper_a to_o consider_v that_o part_n of_o worship_n about_o which_o that_o dispute_v chief_o lay_v 2._o because_o he_o
