be_v inquire_v by_o some_o whether_o i_o be_v not_o go_v from_o popery_n to_o popery_n that_o be_v unto_o the_o same_o church_n though_o of_o another_o denomination_n it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o constitution_n of_o this_o church_n be_v frame_v out_o of_o popery_n and_o the_o common_a prayer_n book_n compile_v out_o of_o the_o mass-book_n i_o answer_v the_o devil_n have_v many_o device_n to_o carry_v on_o his_o own_o interest_n and_o the_o papist_n do_v contrive_v many_o engine_n to_o distract_v protestant_n and_o i_o look_v upon_o this_o objection_n to_o be_v hammer_v in_o their_o forge_n to_o make_v we_o worry_v one_o another_o and_o to_o break_v our_o communion_n but_o to_o give_v a_o full_a answer_n to_o the_o objection_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o i_o think_v i_o understand_v the_o mass-book_n better_o than_o any_o here_o and_o can_v assure_v you_o the_o argument_n be_v vain_a and_o unworthy_a my_o reason_n follow_v first_o all_o be_v not_o popery_n that_o be_v in_o the_o mass-book_n there_o be_v several_a particular_n of_o the_o primitive_a litturgy_n that_o be_v not_o popery_n there_o be_v several_a place_n take_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a bible_n neither_o be_v that_o popery_n second_o there_o be_v several_a other_o good_a thing_n in_o the_o mass-book_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o the_o cheat_n will_v be_v evident_a to_o every_o eye_n you_o know_v the_o devil_n can_v tempt_v our_o saviour_n in_o scripture_n language_n shall_v we_o therefore_o expunge_v these_o scripture_n because_o the_o devil_n use_v they_o he_o transform_v himself_o sometime_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n yet_o that_o make_v he_o no_o less_o a_o devil_n though_o hard_a to_o be_v discover_v the_o reformation_n quarrel_v not_o with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a but_o what_o be_v real_o bad_a we_o differ_v not_o from_o rome_n in_o any_o thing_n but_o wherein_o she_o have_v differ_v from_o herself_o so_o the_o schism_n be_v in_o rome_n not_o
