as_o to_o be_v subject_a in_o his_o doctrine_n to_o the_o censure_n and_o judgement_n of_o private_a man_n whereas_o god_n will_v have_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o minister_n to_o be_v subject_a only_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o our_o church_n hold_v that_o a_o man_n be_v to_o give_v account_n of_o his_o doctrine_n to_o the_o ordinary_a and_o the_o censure_n thereof_o to_o abide_v i_o say_v these_o reason_n be_v well_o consider_v it_o be_v questionable_a whether_o the_o stand_n of_o a_o chaplain_n as_o the_o nobleman_n of_o england_n now_o will_v have_v it_o be_v

sufficient_a what_o if_o he_o be_v lazy_a idle_a and_o careless_a as_o most_o be_v be_v ready_a to_o play_v a_o game_n at_o the_o dice_n and_o card_n with_o thou_o thy_o servant_n and_o child_n then_o to_o teach_v and_o catechise_v you_o shall_v this_o bear_v thou_o out_o before_o god_n no_o if_o thy_o people_n perish_v for_o want_n of_o instruction_n private_o you_o shall_v answer_v for_o the_o

thou_o be_v bind_v to_o allow_v they_o be_v this_o a_o plea_n sufficient_a to_o say_v thou_o do_v thy_o duty_n to_o thy_o child_n for_o thou_o commit_v he_o or_o she_o to_o a_o nurse_n who_o thou_o know_v to_o be_v dry_a and_o every_o way_n insufficient_a no_o belove_a no_o more_o will_v it_o bear_v thou_o out_o to_o say_v thou_o have_v a_o chaplain_n except_o thou_o see_v they_o instruct_v by_o thy_o own_o person_n now_o than_o you_o nobleman_n and_o gentleman_n do_v you_o forward_a religion_n by_o teach_v your_o family_n and_o pray_v with_o they_o no_o these_o do_v not_o fit_v with_o your_o greatness_n in_o truth_n these_o heavenly_a thing_n do_v not_o fit_v with_o your_o baseness_n and_o therefore_o thou_o will_v not_o meddle_v with_o the_o same_o god_n shall_v never_o be_v call_v
