in_o answer_n to_o your_o fallacious_a question_n about_o the_o liturgy_n and_o prayer_n they_o desire_v to_o know_v if_o you_o put_v the_o question_n of_o the_o whole_a liturgy_n and_o all_o the_o

and_o their_o interest_n happen_v to_o be_v they_o suppose_v that_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v raze_v the_o name_n out_o of_o a_o petition_n to_o their_o majesty_n and_o put_v the_o french_a king_n name_n in_o their_o place_n that_o it_o will_v no_o long_o be_v a_o petition_n to_o they_o but_o to_o their_o mortal_a enemy_n and_o therefore_o in_o reply_n to_o the_o next_o question_n which_o follow_v

to_o drive_v they_o from_o your_o church_n be_v one_o cause_n of_o their_o separation_n from_o the_o public_a and_o but_o one_o for_o as_o i_o just_a now_o show_v your_o grace_n there_o be_v another_o of_o which_o you_o be_v please_v to_o take_v no_o notice_n ay_o but_o you_o say_v they_o proceed_v so_o far_o as_o to_o declare_v open_a war_n and_o set_v up_o separate_a congregation_n in_o

because_o they_o be_v drive_v from_o the_o public_a and_o that_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o will_v justify_v their_o separation_n from_o it_o will_v also_o justify_v set_v up_o separate_a meeting_n
