may_v command_v a_o place_n for_o the_o public_a so_o he_o forbid_v none_o in_o private_a he_o give_v it_o into_o the_o court_n upon_o his_o oath_n caesar_n may_v command_v a_o place_n in_o public_a etc._n etc._n leave_v out_o two_o of_o my_o word_n and_o put_v in_o one_o of_o his_o own_o in_o stead_n of_o they_o to_o alter_v the_o scope_n and_o intent_n of_o those_o few_o word_n which_o he_o do_v take_v to_o make_v they_o serve_v his_o turn_n against_o i_o for_o who_o know_v not_o that_o the_o leave_v out_o or_o change_v one_o word_n for_o another_o in_o a_o sentence_n do_v oftentimes_o alter_v the_o intent_n and_o scope_n thereof_o as_o to_o build_v a_o house_n in_o a_o city_n and_o to_o build_v a_o house_n for_o a_o city_n be_v two_o differ_a thing_n the_o king_n may_v build_v a_o house_n in_o the_o city_n of_o london_n for_o his_o own_o use_n but_o if_o the_o king_n say_v i_o build_v this_o house_n for_o the_o city_n of_o london_n all_o man_n will_v understand_v he_o mean_v for_o the_o city_n use_n again_o the_o king_n may_v command_v a_o place_n in_o public_a for_o himself_o to_o come_v and_o worship_n god_n therein_o but_o to_o command_v a_o place_n for_o the_o public_a be_v for_o the_o people_n also_o public_o so_o whereas_o i_o say_v caesar_n may_v command_v a_o place_n for_o the_o public_a my_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o king_n may_v lawful_o with_o authority_n from_o god_n and_o warrant_v from_o his_o word_n command_v a_o place_n and_o place_n for_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n to_o all_o his_o subject_n in_o and_o throughout_o all_o part_n of_o his_o dominion_n which_o if_o the_o king_n may_v and_o that_o my_o word_n do_v intend_v and_o express_v so_o much_o as_o i_o think_v no_o man_n that_o be_v wise_a and_o conscionable_a will_v deny_v than_o all_o the_o king_n subject_n be_v bind_v to_o obey_v the_o king_n and_o come_v to_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n in_o those_o public_a place_n and_o as_o it_o be_v for_o place_n so_o it_o be_v for_o time_n and_o other_o

such_o like_a circumstance_n as_o in_o the_o 83._o pag._n of_o the_o say_a book_n against_o anabaptist_n be_v also_o set_v down_o always_o provide_v as_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v that_o it_o be_v the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n that_o be_v command_v and_o not_o any_o idolatry_n or_o heathenish_a superstition_n as_o be_v now_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n command_v and_o practise_v these_o thing_n be_v so_o than_o i_o reason_v thus_o further_a if_o caesar_n or_o our_o king_n law_n and_o authority_n may_v command_v a_o place_n and_o place_n time_n etc._n etc._n for_o the_o public_a

administration_n and_o participation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n praise_v and_o give_v thanks_n unto_o god_n for_o all_o his_o benefit_n etc._n etc._n and_o that_o all_o true_a christian_a subject_n be_v bind_v to_o obey_v the_o king_n law_n and_o authority_n and_o come_v to_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n in_o those_o public_a place_n time_n etc._n etc._n than_o no_o christian_a subject_n may_v separate_v or_o schism_n therefrom_o nor_o make_v any_o private_a assembly_n speak_v practice_n or_o do_v any_o thing_n in_o opposition_n or_o contradictory_a thereunto_o nay_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a every_o christian_a subject_n young_a and_o old_a be_v bind_v to_o be_v thankful_a unto_o god_n day_n and_o night_n that_o have_v vouchsafe_v to_o dispose_v the_o heart_n of_o king_n prince_n and_o authority_n of_o that_o nation_n whereof_o he_o be_v a_o member_n and_o a_o subject_n to_o set_v their_o help_a hand_n to_o build_v the_o wall_n of_o jerusalem_n to_o cast_v out_o the_o

unto_o god_n therefore_o so_o that_o take_v my_o word_n right_a as_o they_o be_v caesar_n may_v command_v a_o place_n for_o the_o public_a and_o this_o will_v be_v the_o true_a and_o necessary_a

to_o tend_v to_o the_o maintain_n of_o the_o private_a assembly_n of_o familist_n separatist_n or_o other_o sectray_v but_o only_o to_o preserve_v the_o liberty_n that_o every_o christian_n have_v
