which_o if_o true_a the_o house_n of_o prayer_n will_v soon_o be_v make_v a_o den_n of_o thief_n for_o man_n will_v soon_o get_v the_o knack_n and_o cunning_a to_o pretend_v a_o call_n and_o then_o by_o tedious_a discourse_n of_o god_n grace_n so_o insinuate_v themselves_o into_o the_o bosom_n of_o man_n that_o they_o will_v easy_o be_v delude_v by_o they_o other_o excuse_v their_o illiterate_a

they_o be_v furnish_v withal_o st._n paul_n in_o reference_n to_o this_o holy_a function_n ask_v with_o tremble_a who_o be_v sufficient_a for_o such_o office_n but_o they_o invert_v the_o question_n and_o cry_v who_o be_v insufficient_a i_o leave_v it_o to_o yourselves_o be_v it_o probable_a that_o farrier_n shall_v turn_v expeperience_v physician_n much_o less_o that_o they_o who_o come_v from_o

that_o ornament_n to_o cut_v it_o off_o as_o troublesome_a and_o superfluous_a yourselves_o may_v make_v the_o application_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v from_o the_o first_o to_o the_o second_o sort_n of_o thief_n who_o trouble_v the_o house_n of_o god_n second_o they_o be_v those_o who_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o title_n for_o it_o be_v a_o gross_a mistake_n to_o think_v it_o be_v unto_o we_o no_o it_o be_v unto_o god_n they_o refuse_v to_o render_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v god_n thus_o you_o may_v hear_v god_n himself_o declare_v it_o will_v a_o man_n rob_v god_n yet_o you_o have_v rob_v i_o but_o you_o say_v wherein_o have_v we_o rob_v thou_o in_o tithe_n and_o offering_n god_n take_v the_o wrong_n whole_o unto_o himself_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o make_v the_o heaven_n brass_n and_o will_v not_o suffer_v rain_n to_o descend_v upon_o the_o earth_n be_v because_o they_o have_v give_v he_o no_o tithe_n of_o the_o fruit_n wherewith_o he_o have_v bless_v they_o three_o but_o as_o the_o people_n rob_v the_o priest_n of_o his_o tithe_n so_o also_o the_o priest_n rob_v the_o people_n in_o not_o afford_v they_o divine_a service_n that_o the_o priest_n shall_v reap_v man_n worldly_a thing_n be_v unquestionable_a so_o it_o be_v also_o require_v that_o they_o shall_v reap_v our_o spiritual_a thing_n if_o therefore_o we_o either_o omit_v the_o read_n these_o prayer_n command_v by_o the_o church_n or_o shrink_v they_o into_o a_o lesser_a compass_n we_o deserve_v no_o better_a appellation_n than_o that_o of_o thief_n as_o then_o we_o be_v earnest_a for_o all_o our_o

from_o hence_o especial_o the_o church_n be_v make_v a_o den_n of_o thief_n for_o will_v man_n dare_v to_o separate_v from_o our_o solemn_a assembly_n if_o you_o be_v not_o so_o remiss_a in_o your_o
