second_o they_o express_v themselves_o and_o profess_v thus_o far_o that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o protestation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v extend_v to_o the_o maintain_n of_o any_o form_n of_o worship_n discipline_n or_o government_n nor_o of_o any_o rite_n or_o ceremony_n in_o the_o say_a church_n of_o england_n ergo_fw-la we_o do_v not_o we_o may_v not_o protest_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o

branch_n of_o popery_n the_o protestation_n have_v a_o edge_n to_o cut_v they_o off_o all_o at_o one_o stroke_n four_o we_o be_v all_o in_o a_o erect_a hope_n of_o such_o a_o reformation_n intend_v

commons_o can_v have_v no_o such_o thought_n as_o implicit_o to_o include_v the_o aforesaid_a particular_n in_o the_o farthel_n of_o popery_n or_o that_o they_o can_v possible_o intend_v the_o maintain_n of_o those_o thing_n still_o of_o which_o they_o express_o say_v that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o protestation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v extend_v to_o the_o maintain_n of_o any_o form_n of_o worship_n discipline_n or_o government_n rite_n or_o ceremony_n or_o that_o these_o thing_n shall_v not_o be_v remove_v but_o maintain_v still_o what_o then_o shall_v private_a and_o particular_a christian_n know_v these_o thing_n to_o be_v popery_n and_o antichristian_a be_v also_o bind_v by_o their_o solemn_a vow_n and_o protestation_n never_o reform_v themselves_o until_o they_o see_v a_o

their_o vow_n and_o protestation_n live_v and_o die_v votary_n and_o communicant_n in_o that_o service_n schoolboy_n and_o puny_n under_o the_o ferula_fw-la of_o that_o discipline_n vassal_n under_o
