all_o the_o papist_n keep_v for_o she_o when_o alas_o i_o defy_v they_o all_o together_o to_o prove_v any_o of_o those_o day_n to_o be_v the_o day_n which_o they_o keep_v it_o for_o so_o than_o they_o

quintessence_n of_o popish_a superstitious_a holy_a day_n what_o i_o say_v be_v not_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o civil_a part_n of_o those_o name_n but_o as_o to_o the_o spiritual_a as_o they_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n but_o they_o will_v say_v we_o keep_v not_o all_o such_o day_n there_o be_v only_o a_o certain_a number_n mention_v after_o the_o calendar_n but_o i_o ask_v wherefore_o then_o do_v you_o set_v they_o down_o yet_o there_o be_v morning_n and_o evening_n first_o and_o second_o lesson_n for_o the_o very_a day_n which_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n be_v read_v where_o service_n be_v every_o day_n in_o the_o same_o calendar_n we_o find_v the_o fast_n as_o well_o as_o feast_n and_o those_o fast_n be_v always_o upon_o the_o eve_n of_o certain_a holy_a day_n which_o be_v many_o only_o i_o find_v st._n mark_n and_o st._n luke_n have_v none_o while_o all_o saint_n have_v wherein_o a_o partiality_n appear_v we_o have_v good_a friday_n holy_a thursday_n no_o better_a nor_o holy_a than_o another_o whole_a lent_n etc._n etc._n but_o this_o matter_n of_o feast_n and_o fast_n i_o have_v speak_v of_o before_o upon_o the_o first_o of_o may_n be_v the_o feast_n by_o papist_n dedicate_v to_o philip_n and_o james_n but_o we_o be_v so_o fond_a of_o the_o latin_a tongue_n that_o because_o jacobus_n be_v the_o latin_a for_o james_n in_o the_o payer-book_n it_o be_v call_v jacob_n and_o not_o james_n i_o know_v no_o other_o reason_n why_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o only_o because_o it_o have_v a_o great_a affinity_n to_o the_o latin_a the_o latin_a church_n we_o still_o retain_v a_o kindness_n for_o after_o the_o calendar_n be_v certain_a note_n belong_v to_o it_o whereof_o one_o be_v that_o the_o 13_o chapter_n of_o daniel_n be_v to_o be_v read_v until_o such_o word_n the_o book_n of_o daniel_n have_v but_o 12._o chapter_n in_o all_o and_o must_v the_o history_n of_o susanna_n against_o which_o as_o a_o apocrypha_fw-la be_v lawful_a exception_n be_v

at_o all_o with_o what_o go_v before_o or_o what_o follow_v in_o prayer_n the_o minister_n be_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o people_n to_o god_n and_o the_o people_n with_o their_o heart_n be_v to_o

of_o the_o word_n priest_n in_o our_o prayer-book_n in_o the_o two_o place_n i_o quote_v before_o 12.28_o ephes_n 4.11_o 1_o cor._n 12.28_o whereunto_o we_o may_v join_v rom_n 12_o the_o apostle_n

of_o the_o live_n and_o of_o the_o dead_a but_o we_o abhor_v such_o a_o thing_n at_o least_o pretend_v to_o do_v so_o we_o say_v we_o abolish_v the_o thing_n and_o yet_o retain_v the_o name_n the_o
