in_o mind_n superstitious_a prayer_n and_o do_v teach_v the_o same_o to_o their_o child_n so_o sow_v the_o seed_n of_o superstition_n into_o their_o tender_a mind_n these_o man_n be_v the_o most_o noisome_a plague_n of_o the_o church_n for_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o by_o they_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o word_n can_v have_v his_o profit_n with_o those_o which_o at_o home_n have_v their_o

to_o be_v take_v the_o high_a priest_n unto_o who_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o word_n and_o holy_a rite_n appertein_v he_o have_v those_o which_o together_o with_o he_o do_v minister_v about_o the_o

leviticall_a family_n as_o in_o the_o book_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v set_v out_o at_o large_a but_o they_o be_v not_o content_v with_o the_o one_o and_o only_o true_a god_n entertain_v strange_a god_n and_o therefore_o they_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o new_a sacrifice_a priest_n to_o do_v service_n for_o those_o say_v false_a god_n hereupon_o it_o come_v that_o priest_n be_v appoint_v unto_o baal_n of_o who_o there_o be_v often_o mention_v make_v in_o sacred_a history_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o other_o god_n also_o have_v their_o sacrifice_n which_o take_v upon_o they_o

wonderful_a zeal_n of_o religion_n or_o rather_o superstition_n as_o those_o seraphical_a doctor_n be_v which_o of_o foolish_a and_o superstitious_a man_n be_v call_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n but_o because_o they_o be_v especial_o appoint_v to_o burn_v frankincense_n i_o suppose_v they_o be_v rather_o so_o call_v by_o reason_n of_o that_o office_n for_o this_o word_n kemar_n among_o the_o

of_o inferior_a degree_n skilful_a in_o those_o mystery_n or_o that_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v clerk_n or_o sexston_n or_o some_o under_o minister_n to_o they_o which_o be_v in_o the_o high_a room_n
