this_o behalf_n first_o because_o i_o that_o be_o choose_v to_o be_v their_o general_n captain_n have_v ever_o from_o my_o infancy_n bear_v that_o love_n to_o your_o town_n that_o i_o think_v good_a at_o this_o present_a to_o make_v a_o apparent_a demonstration_n thereof_o by_o some_o extraordinary_a action_n be_v also_o the_o principal_a animator_n of_o my_o whole_a band_n of_o soldier_n to_o join_v their_o hand_n their_o heart_n and_o their_o purse_n with_o i_o for_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o this_o my_o resolve_a project_n second_o because_o although_o we_o be_v come_v unto_o you_o with_o martial_a instrument_n yet_o not_o with_o a_o martial_a resolution_n to_o invade_v the_o precinct_n of_o your_o incorporation_n by_o force_n of_o arm_n to_o brandish_v our_o glitter_a and_o refulgent_a sword_n after_o a_o terrible_a and_o warlike_a sort_n against_o you_o to_o bereave_v you_o of_o your_o ancient_a privilege_n and_o immunity_n to_o ransack_v your_o house_n and_o your_o good_n to_o subvert_v your_o whole_a estate_n to_o lade_v ourselves_o with_o the_o rich_a spoil_n of_o conquer_a enemy_n to_o put_v some_o as_o obstinate_a and_o stiffnecked_a rebel_n to_o the_o furious_a and_o irrelent_a di●t_n of_o our_o sword_n to_o embrace_v other_o with_o the_o be_v ..._o es_fw-ge of_o mercy_n that_o shall_v humble_o submit_v themselves_o into_o our_o hand_n and_o after_o to_o carry_v they_o away_o into_o most_o lamentable_a captivity_n these_o matter_n dear_a consederates_n we_o never_o as_o much_o as_o harbour_v in_o our_o thought_n much_o less_o intend_a to_o put_v any_o such_o hostility_n in_o execution_n but_o very_o we_o be_v come_v unto_o you_o for_o a_o contrary_a purpose_n namely_o to_o offer_v ourselves_o even_o of_o our_o own_o accord_n unto_o you_o in_o a_o league_n of_o friendship_n yea_o such_o a_o league_n the_o like_a whereof_o make_v betwixt_o we_o odcombians_n and_o you_o euillians_n neither_o antiquity_n have_v record_v nor_o the_o time_n wherein_o we_o live_v have_v see_v nor_o succeed_a age_n can_v have_v hope_v for_o have_v not_o we_o odcombians_n at_o this_o present_a out_o of_o the_o sincere_a affection_n we_o bear_v you_o sue_v unto_o you_o for_o this_o confederacy_n moreover_o we_o be_v come_v unto_o you_o for_o another_o cause_n which_o be_v very_o honest_a and_o religious_a for_o we_o determine_v to_o spend_v our_o money_n with_o you_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o your_o church_n hope_v yea_o most_o earnest_o crave_v to_o receive_v the_o like_a courtesy_n again_o at_o your_o hand_n for_o our_o church_n of_o odcombe_n but_o before_o i_o use_v any_o further_a speech_n unto_o you_o concern_v the_o confirm_v of_o this_o foresay_a league_n of_o friendship_n i_o resolve_v by_o way_n of_o prevention_n or_o preoccupation_n to_o communicate_v my_o slender_a opinion_n into_o you_o concern_v the_o lawful_a use_n of_o that_o for_o the_o which_o we_o be_v now_o assemble_v i_o mean_v church_n ale_n lest_o any_o captious_a and_o carp_a wit_n shall_v deem_v that_o we_o have_v intrude_v ourselves_o into_o your_o liberty_n as_o a_o very_a disorderly_a and_o confuse_a crew_n rather_o to_o give_v some_o cause_n of_o offence_n then_o to_o benefit_v your_o church_n therefore_o to_o the_o end_n i_o may_v illustrate_v this_o present_a matter_n by_o relate_v example_n of_o solemnity_n use_v in_o ancient_a age_n unto_o some_o whereof_o our_o church-ale_n may_v in_o my_o opinion_n be_v very_o fit_o compare_v i_o will_v exemplyfie_v some_o few_o the_o ancient_n celebrate_v solemn_a meeting_n at_o certain_a time_n of_o the_o year_n for_o their_o pastime_n and_o recreation_n as_o the_o roman_n have_v their_o several_a etc._n feast_n whereof_o some_o be_v call_v bacchanalia_fw-la or_o dionysia_n some_o saturnalia_fw-la some_o agonalia_fw-la some_o lupercalia_n &_o some_o other_o amberualia_n with_o innumerable_a more_o that_o be_v ordain_v for_o sundry_a purpose_n likewise_o the_o athenian_n have_v their_o oration_n panathenea_n &_o their_o thesmophoria_n the_o theban_n their_o i.b.5_n aphrodisia_n and_o their_o trietericall_a orgia_n celebrate_v every_o three_o year_n upon_o cithaeron_n a_o mountain_n of_o boeotia_n the_o corinthian_n their_o a●esilao_n hyacinthia_n the_o lacedaemonian_n their_o lyeur_n phiditia_fw-la invent_v by_o their_o famous_a lawgiver_n lycurgus_n and_o so_o call_v from_o the_o greek_a word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o signify_v parsimony_n because_o those_o feast_n exhibit_v a_o very_a true_a spectacle_n of_o sobriety_n and_o frugality_n final_o the_o ancient_a christian_n which_o live_v about_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n have_v their_o feast_n of_o charity_n which_o they_o call_v in_o greek_a apolog●tico_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d because_o they_o be_v the_o very_a mean_n to_o confirm_v mutual_a amity_n and_o christian_a charity_n betwixt_o friend_n and_o friend_n i_o humble_o crave_v pardon_n for_o my_o error_n if_o at_o the_o least_o l_o err_v in_o say_v that_o these_o church_n ale_n which_o we_o use_v now_o in_o england_n be_v very_o like_a to_o those_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d of_o the_o ancient_a christian_n if_o they_o be_v right_o and_o religious_o use_v as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v without_o any_o outrageous_a enoimity_n true_o i_o think_v they_o be_v my_o reason_n be_v because_o these_o be_v feast_n of_o charity_n as_o those_o be_v and_o they_o be_v institute_v by_o our_o ancient_a progenitor_n for_o many_o hundred_o year_n ago_o for_o these_o two_o cause_n of_o especial_o first_a for_o the_o breed_n of_o love_n betwixt_o neighbour_n &_o second_o for_o the_o raise_n of_o a_o stock_n for_o the_o support_v and_o maintenance_n of_o our_o church_n &_o the_o church_n affair_n so_o that_o i_o do_v most_o confident_o believe_v that_o the_o good_a &_o religious_a use_n of_o church-ale_n may_v be_v well_o retain_v if_o the_o abuse_n thereof_o be_v utter_o banish_v and_o exterminate_v out_o of_o a_o christian_a commonwealth_n as_o drunkenness_n gluttony_n swear_v lasciviousness_n with_o many_o more_o which_o indeed_o i_o must_v needs_o confess_v seem_v to_o be_v the_o inseparable_a accident_n and_o individual_a adjunct_n of_o church-ale_n but_o ought_v the_o use_n of_o church-ale_n which_o be_v first_o destinate_a for_o a_o religious_a intent_n to_o be_v absolute_o extirpate_v because_o now_o and_o then_o some_o few_o abuse_n creep_v into_o civil_a and_o sober_a society_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o some_o dissolute_a rustical_a and_o ill-nurtured_a peasant_n sure_o no._n neither_o ought_v they_o which_o do_v so_o great_o dislike_v the_o lawful_a use_n of_o church-ale_n sober_o manage_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o a_o stocke-spent_a church_n incur_v less_o reprehension_n than_o that_o furious_a king_n of_o thrace_n 6_o lycurgus_n who_o because_o many_o of_o his_o subject_n be_v often_o time_n drink_v
