you_o may_v know_v they_o for_o they_o feed_v with_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n whether_o we_o do_v thus_o in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n or_o no_o judge_v you_o touch_v the_o second_o that_o we_o want_v discipline_n &_o therefore_o we_o be_v no_o church_n i_o deny_v the_o argument_n but_o they_o say_v we_o have_v not_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o primative_a church_n therefore_o no_o church_n it_o be_v a_o non_fw-la sequitur_fw-la for_o although_o we_o have_v not_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o primative_a church_n yet_o we_o have_v discipline_n and_o therefore_o they_o

city_n yet_o a_o vineyard_n i_o grant_v discipline_n to_o be_v as_o necessary_a in_o the_o church_n to_o keep_v the_o people_n within_o the_o rail_n of_o moses_n law_n as_o a_o wall_n about_o a_o

and_o they_o come_v in_o with_o their_o old_a lie_a antiquitye_n and_o say_v that_o the_o service_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v nothing_o like_o to_o the_o use_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n for_o it_o have_v no_o set_a order_n of_o prayer_n save_o a_o little_a imitation_n of_o the_o old_a matin_n and_o evensong_n and_o that_o in_o schism_n and_o heresy_n and_o therefore_o not_o only_o unprofitable_a but_o also_o damnable_a the_o other_o sort_n they_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o prayer_n at_o all_o in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n they_o say_v so_o in_o effect_n for_o they_o say_v we_o do_v all_o read_v prayer_n already_o make_v to_o our_o hand_n which_o by_o their_o say_n be_v no_o prayer_n neither_o yet_o do_v edify_v at_o all_o for_o say_v they_o reading_z be_v but_o bare_a feed_n yea_o and_o as_o all_o as_o play_v upon_o a_o stage_n and_o worse_a too_o but_o to_o these_o i_o answer_v as_o i_o do_v before_o they_o slander_v the_o church_n for_o we_o pray_v true_o as_o god_n have_v command_v in_o his_o word_n and_o as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v teach_v we_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n the_o father_n and_o to_o none_o but_o to_o he_o only_o we_o come_v to_o he_o in_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o his_o name_n only_o and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o we_o pray_v true_o thus_o have_v i_o as_o god_n have_v move_v i_o and_o at_o this_o time_n have_v afford_v unto_o i_o declare_v unto_o you_o the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o this_o holy_a scripture_n the_o lord_n grant_v that_o it_o may_v work_v that_o which_o i_o
