of_o person_n christian_a reader_n my_o antagonist_n in_o this_o question_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n the_o first_o be_v they_o that_o ground_n their_o opinion_n upon_o the_o text_n and_o thereupon_o make_v bow_v at_o the_o name_n jesus_n a_o necessary_a duty_n the_o second_o sort_n do_v also_o ground_v their_o opinion_n upon_o the_o text_n and_o also_o upon_o the_o same_o reason_n and_o yet_o make_v it_o but_o a_o indifferent_a ceremony_n principal_o ground_v it_o upon_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n profess_v that_o as_o a_o law_n have_v establish_v it_o so_o if_o a_o law_n shall_v forbid_v it_o they_o will_v leave_v a_o it_o it_o but_o till_o that_o time_n they_o will_v use_v it_o there_o be_v far_o more_o of_o this_o sort_n than_o of_o the_o former_a and_o they_o be_v far_o more_o absurd_a in_o their_o opinion_n than_o the_o former_a for_o the_o one_o be_v true_a to_o their_o own_o ground_n though_o they_o be_v mistake_v but_o the_o other_o be_v false_a to_o they_o and_o indeed_o make_v but_o a_o mock_n of_o the_o text_n yea_o of_o christ_n himself_o in_o my_o treatise_n i_o contest_v with_o they_o both_o in_o one_o here_o i_o will_v bend_v myself_o to_o the_o second_o sort_n 1._o i_o will_v know_v of_o they_o if_o they_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o a_o canon_n why_o do_v they_o not_o obey_v the_o order_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o what_o be_v their_o order_n inferior_a to_o the_o canon_n make_v by_o the_o convocation_n only_o without_o consent_n of_o parliament_n without_o which_o no_o law_n can_v bind_v the_o b_o they_o subject_a 2._o if_o they_o do_v ever_o mean_a to_o leave_v it_o why_o do_v they_o fasten_v it_o also_o upon_o the_o scripture_n many_o of_o they_o never_o practise_v it_o nor_o find_v any_o text_n for_o it_o till_o the_o archbishop_n have_v charge_v the_o canon_n for_o it_o which_o in_o former_a time_n as_o c_o 30._o master_n hooker_n say_v none_o be_v constrain_v to_o use_v what_o be_v not_o the_o text_n authentic_a till_o the_o canon_n have_v make_v it_o so_o or_o be_v they_o so_o ignorant_a that_o they_o know_v not_o how_o to_o worship_v god_n till_o the_o canon_n be_v charge_v or_o if_o they_o be_v not_o how_o will_v they_o answer_v it_o before_o god_n some_o of_o they_o that_o have_v live_v long_o in_o the_o ministry_n yet_o never_o before_o this_o time_n make_v know_v this_o part_n of_o god_n counsel_n to_o their_o people_n 3._o with_o what_o honesty_n can_v these_o man_n ever_o leave_v their_o practice_n of_o it_o the_o canon_n be_v overthrow_v except_o they_o renounce_v their_o opinion_n if_o they_o have_v not_o meddle_v with_o the_o text_n they_o may_v have_v come_v off_o more_o fair_o but_o if_o the_o canon_n fall_n all_o the_o power_n in_o the_o world_n can_v never_o overthrow_v the_o text_n but_o it_o must_v stand_v for_o ever_o inviolable_a therefore_o whereas_o it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o these_o man_n to_o call_v all_o those_o minister_n factious_a and_o schismatical_a that_o observe_v not_o the_o canon_n as_o they_o expound_v it_o what_o manner_n of_o person_n will_v these_o prove_v themselves_o to_o be_v that_o will_v not_o obey_v god_n sacred_a word_n the_o evasion_n which_o these_o man_n make_v for_o themselves_o be_v beyond_o all_o measure_n ridiculous_a they_o d_o 7._o say_v the_o text_n do_v but_o warrant_v this_o ceremony_n and_o the_o church_n have_v take_v occasion_n from_o the_o text_n warrant_v it_o to_o command_v it_o a_o very_a learned_a distinction_n we_o will_v view_v therefore_o the_o text_n as_o they_o exponnd_v it_o and_o the_o canon_n as_o it_o stand_v thus_o they_o open_v the_o text_n when_o christ_n have_v humble_v himself_o god_n high_o exalt_v he_o and_o give_v he_o the_o name_n jesus_n to_o be_v above_o every_o name_n that_o at_o the_o mention_n of_o it_o all_o shall_v bow_v their_o knee_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n be_v this_o but_o a_o warrant_n take_v the_o text_n any_o way_n can_v there_o be_v a_o more_o serious_a ordinance_n the_o duty_n of_o the_o text_n be_v the_o main_a end_n of_o christ_n exaltation_n and_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o e_o kingdom_n kingdom_n what_o shall_v god_n lay_v flat_a this_o

they_o must_v of_o necessity_n understand_v confession_n with_o the_o tongue_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v lord_n plain_o also_o and_o literal_o see_v then_o what_o work_n they_o will_v make_v of_o
