that_o we_o may_v not_o always_o use_v our_o liberty_n to_o the_o extremity_n but_o must_v do_v some_o thing_n for_o fear_v to_o offend_v other_o man_n conscience_n which_o seem_v good_a policy_n

the_o scripture_n mil._n they_o be_v beside_o the_o scripture_n because_o that_o no_o manner_n of_o appoint_a apparel_n for_o christ_n minister_n nor_o any_o sacramental_a garment_n be_v once_o name_v

and_o what_o simplicity_n they_o use_v in_o their_o garment_n and_o ceremony_n &_o usage_n of_o their_o sacrament_n and_o this_o be_v most_o plain_a that_o they_o borrow_v no_o garment_n of_o the_o

be_v against_o or_o beside_o the_o scripture_n for_o they_o to_o wear_v the_o garment_n of_o idolatrous_a priest_n that_o have_v be_v the_o mean_n to_o beat_v down_o their_o idol_n and_o to_o banish_v their_o idolatry_n the_o question_n also_o may_v run_v further_o whether_o any_o true_a bishop_n of_o christ_n may_v compel_v his_o fellow_n bishop_n and_o fellow_n minister_n by_o prison_n so_o to_o

of_o the_o chemarim_n and_o the_o priest_n and_o all_o those_o that_o be_v clothe_v with_o strange_a apparel_n therefore_o it_o be_v beside_o or_o against_o the_o scripture_n to_o maintain_v such_o
