the_o church_n and_o that_o both_o they_o and_o their_o minister_n will_v labour_v with_o all_o diligence_n to_o attain_v to_o that_o bryghtnes_n and_o comeliness_n that_o all_o at_o length_n may_v

in_o the_o fruition_n of_o their_o natural_a effect_n for_o all_o creature_n may_v admonyshe_v we_o many_o way_n to_o consider_v the_o creator_n both_o of_o they_o and_o of_o ourself_o and_o of_o

if_o any_o church_n judge_n and_o have_v experience_n such_o as_o i_o doubt_v not_o there_o be_v many_o this_o day_n in_o germany_n that_o the_o use_n of_o such_o vesture_n bring_v some_o

bring_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n why_o that_o church_n be_v not_o to_o be_v leave_v to_o her_o own_o judgement_n in_o this_o matter_n neither_o therefore_o to_o be_v contenm_v or_o to_o be_v

have_v no_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n nor_o no_o example_n of_o it_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o you_o can_v grant_v to_o any_o church_n that_o it_o may_v celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o the_o morning_n and_o in_o a_o open_a church_n especial_o consecrate_v to_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o sacrament_n may_v be_v distribute_v to_o man_n kneel_v or_o stand_v yea_o to_o woman_n aswell_o as_o to_o man_n for_o we_o have_v receyve_v of_o these_o thing_n neither_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n nor_o any_o example_n yea_o rather_o the_o lord_n give_v a_o contrary_a example_n for_o in_o the_o euèning_n and_o in_o a_o private_a house_n he_o do_v make_v his_o supper_n and_o distribute_v the_o sacrament_n and_o that_o to_o man_n only_o and_o sit_v at_o the_o table_n but_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o in_o england_n many_o use_n vesture_n with_o manifest_a superstition_n &_o that_o they_o do_v noryshe_v and_o confirm_v in_o the_o people_n superstition_n even_o so_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v very_o many_o abuse_n all_o this_o whole_a sacrament_n as_o also_o baptism_n and_o all_o other_o ceremony_n therefore_o let_v we_o withstand_v this_o mischief_n and_o vanquishe_v it_o
