i_o speak_v of_o some_o i_o know_v it_o so_o much_o breach_n and_o contempt_n in_o other_o i_o have_v see_v it_o so_o small_a regard_n to_o the_o temple_n and_o love_n and_o zeal_n to_o the_o house_n of_o god_n for_o i_o have_v hard_a it_o as_o in_o few_o common_a wealth_n have_v be_v red_a the_o like_a that_o be_v it_o which_o be_v most_o pitiful_a i_o only_o wish_v that_o man_n in_o our_o day_n where_o the_o harrow_n be_v not_o use_v nor_o inginne_v of_o iron_n frame_v or_o the_o torture_n and_o exile_n put_v in_o practice_n as_o be_v else_o ever_o you_o where_o will_v more_o willing_o agree_v together_o then_o as_o yet_o they_o do_v diocletian_n in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o persecution_n under_o dioclesian_n and_o maximine_n the_o emperor_n there_o be_v mention_v make_v very_o often_o of_o the_o place_n that_o christian_n meet_v in_o but_o as_o it_o appear_v before_o constantine_n their_o place_n whytherto_o they_o common_o resort_v basil●_n wear_v but_o homely_a and_o not_o so_o trim_v as_o we_o term_v by_o the_o name_n of_o dominica_n and_o as_o eusebius_n record_v oratoria_fw-la and_o in_o nazianzen_n the_o church_n be_v call_v basilica_n and_o so_o i_o find_v

that_o in_o persecution_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o come_v to_o church_n or_o there_o be_v a_o reason_n find_v out_o and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v to_o pray_v in_o the_o churchyearde_n example_n and_o at_o grave_n and_o sepulcher_n of_o the_o dead_a because_o in_o the_o persecution_n and_o tyranny_n of_o gorgias_n of_o alexandria_n they_o be_v content_a or_o compel_v rather_o to_o lie_v at_o the_o grave_n and_o sepulcher_n of_o their_o father_n unhappe_o i_o think_v be_v that_o story_n take_v in_o hand_n and_o in_o a_o evil_a time_n if_o it_o be_v ground_v there_o to_o prostrate_v themselves_o in_o field_n us._n to_o lie_v at_o the_o foot_n of_o hill_n to_o pray_v without_o the_o wall_n and_o town_n and_o gate_n of_o the_o city_n for_o that_o christian_n have_v so_o small_a a_o liberty_n under_o valence_n of_o antioch_n but_o where_o so_o ever_o it_o be_v fetch_v for_o that_o it_o be_v untrue_a look_v about_o search_v other_o history_n gather_v as_o well_o that_o which_o be_v good_a &_o see_v me_o as_o that_o which_o be_v erroneous_a &_o you_o shall_v find_v many_o example_n of_o christianity_n for_o these_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o from_o the_o gentiles_n for_o that_o contrary_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o book_n of_o god_n they_o appoint_v at_o their_o several_a pleasure_n this_o or_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v like_v of_o but_o as_o every_o country_n have_v his_o custom_n in_o come_v to_o praise_v the_o name_n of_o god_n if_o it_o be_v in_o hole_n &_o cave_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o the_o indian_n some_o of_o they_o do_v it_o in_o barbary_n or_o in_o house_n of_o reed_n as_o they_o in_o very_o hot_a country_n do_v or_o in_o other_o though_o unseemly_a place_n to_o we_o as_o diverse_a of_o the_o nation_n and_o as_o our_o irish_a man_n not_o so_o far_o a_o journey_n from_o we_o very_o beastly_a people_n do_v yet_o if_o that_o country_n whatsoever_o have_v any_o one_o in_o he_o that_o call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n he_o &_o they_o be_v aswell_o except_v in_o their_o homely_a cottage_n as_o other_o people_n be_v in_o stately_a ▪_o palace_n and_o though_o i_o allow_v not_o the_o jewish_a tradition_n renew_v by_o constantine_n in_o carry_v about_o a_o tent_n square_v like_o the_o temple_n they_o build_v then_o for_o to_o praise_v the_o name_n of_o god_n with_o his_o soldier_n yet_o because_o the_o meaning_n of_o that_o good_a emperor_n can_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v condemn_v i_o can_v altogether_o disallow_v the_o thing_n but_o now_o in_o so_o great_a a_o light_n where_o the_o word_n of_o god_n never_o shine_v more_o bright_o than_o it_o do_v here_o i_o needs_o must_v cry_v out_o with_o jeremy_n that_o ready_a be_v they_o in_o the_o world_n to_o offer_v up_o cake_n to_o the_o queen_n of_o heaven_n than_o they_o be_v now_o to_o give_v thank_n &_o pay_v their_o vow_n to_o the_o god_n of_o jacob_n oh_o that_o i_o can_v but_o ransack_v out_o the_o cause_n hereof_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o not_o only_o they_o who_o write_n have_v be_v mistake_v of_o a_o number_n to_o this_o hour_n will_v knit_v themselves_o as_o fellow_n labourer_n herein_o but_o diverse_a

altogether_o rash_o to_o inquire_v and_o seek_v after_o this_o for_o a_o little_a experiense_v herein_o i_o have_v a_o shrewd_a guess_n at_o their_o reason_n it_o may_v be_v that_o the_o church_n
