of_o liturgy_n or_o ceremony_n in_o their_o worship_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o acknowledge_v the_o office_n of_o a_o protestant_a diocessan_n bishop_n which_o be_v indeed_o the_o great_a protestancy_n of_o christendom_n whereas_o the_o church_n of_o england_n rigid_o impose_v the_o one_o and_o still_o maintain_v the_o other_o together_o with_o their_o symbolise_n in_o both_o these_o respect_n with_o the_o r._n catholic_n church_n and_o worship_n yea_o and_o in_o many_o doctrine_n too_o of_o late_a which_o the_o first_o reformation_n oppose_v have_v be_v think_v to_o have_v be_v so_o near_o

the_o church_n of_o england_n upon_o the_o death_n of_o his_o late_a majesty_n to_o renew_v their_o prosecution_n somewhat_o sharp_a than_o before_o but_o these_o fear_n be_v now_o abundant_o remove_v which_o true_o i_o must_v say_v can_v hardly_o have_v be_v do_v by_o any_o other_o mean_n than_o that_o which_o his_o majesty_n have_v take_v by_o his_o declaration_n which_o must_v be_v to_o all_o man_n of_o understand_v a_o evidence_n on_o his_o behalf_n that_o he_o can_v have_v no_o design_n against_o the_o protestant_a interest_n nevertheless_o the_o church_n of_o england_n judge_v

will_v have_v those_o of_o his_o own_o religion_n enjoy_v the_o same_o liberty_n of_o worship_n he_o have_v give_v to_o the_o protestant_a dissenter_n and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o
