by_o its_o adorer_n have_v be_v give_v unto_o it_o i_o have_v much_o wonder_v that_o among_o the_o late_a plenty_n of_o ordinance_n there_o have_v not_o be_v some_o one_o to_o inhibit_v people_n this_o blasphemy_n and_o idolatry_n doubtless_o it_o afford_v suspicion_n of_o little_a true_a love_n to_o the_o first_o commandment_n so_o be_v not_o reverence_n in_o god_n house_n and_o service_n with_o a_o due_a regard_n to_o his_o minister_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o their_o office_n require_v in_o the_o second_o commandment_n as_o well_o as_o superstition_n forbid_v and_o yet_o we_o see_v it_o be_v count_v rank_n popery_n to_o be_v more_o reverend_a there_o then_o other_o man_n and_o want_v of_o zeal_n not_o to_o abuse_v god_n minister_n yea_o profaneness_n and_o misbehaviour_n in_o god_n worship_n and_o opposition_n to_o his_o servant_n be_v reckon_v by_o some_o the_o best_a character_n of_o religion_n i_o dare_v affirm_v it_o from_o what_o i_o have_v read_v and_o now_o see_v that_o no_o people_n in_o the_o world_n not_o they_o that_o worship_v the_o devil_n himself_o be_v so_o rude_a and_o unmannerly_a in_o their_o action_n of_o this_o nature_n and_o to_o the_o minister_n of_o their_o religion_n as_o some_o of_o we_o be_v at_o this_o present_a and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o law_n to_o punish_v they_o nay_o all_o law_n be_v take_v away_o as_o they_o say_v that_o be_v

too_o that_o not_o only_o think_v it_o lawful_a for_o themselves_o to_o break_v those_o oath_n which_o they_o have_v former_o make_v in_o the_o presence_n and_o name_n of_o god_n but_o also_o have_v as_o may_v seem_v as_o good_a a_o faculty_n as_o the_o pope_n to_o dispense_v with_o the_o breach_n of_o they_o in_o other_o and_o teach_v and_o exhort_v other_o thereunto_o as_o a_o thing_n

high_a contempt_n that_o can_v be_v offer_v to_o the_o three_o commandment_n if_o god_n be_v in_o earnest_n when_o he_o make_v it_o he_o will_v never_o hold_v they_o guiltless_a that_o do_v such_o
