enjoin_v by_o authority_n to_o be_v use_v obj._n the_o grand_a great_a and_o chief_a exception_n that_o be_v take_v against_o our_o liturgy_n be_v that_o our_o book_n of_o common-prayer_n be_v popery_n take_v out_o of_o the_o popish_a mass-book_n answ_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v in_o general_a before_o we_o come_v to_o examine_v particular_n be_v please_v to_o take_v into_o your_o consideration_n this_o moderate_a point_n of_o wisdom_n that_o all_o that_o the_o papist_n have_v or_o make_v use_n of_o can_v proper_o be_v call_v or_o account_v popery_n as_o we_o call_v popery_n the_o old_a rule_n be_v good_a here_o qui_fw-fr hene_n distinguit_fw-la bene_fw-la doc●t_fw-la it_o be_v the_o part_n of_o a_o wiseman_n to_o distinguish_v thing_n to_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o thing_n and_o not_o to_o confound_v and_o put_v together_o thing_n that_o differ_v therefore_o we_o shall_v right_o know_v what_o popery_n be_v popery_n be_v proper_o the_o error_n abuse_n corruption_n superstition_n idolatry_n and_o abomination_n which_o be_v use_v and_o mantain_v by_o the_o pope_n papist_n and_o church_n of_o rome_n either_o in_o doctrine_n or_o worship_n these_o indeed_o may_v proper_o and_o true_o be_v call_v and_o account_v popery_n if_o we_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n receive_v his_o law_n his_o doctrine_n his_o worship_n if_o we_o cleave_v to_o his_o adherent_n to_o they_o that_o worship_v he_o and_o receive_v his_o mark_n if_o we_o maintain_v or_o profess_v either_o those_o false_a doctrine_n or_o that_o superstitious_a or_o idolatrous_a worship_n which_o be_v profess_v among_o they_o and_o maintain_v by_o they_o then_o indeed_o we_o may_v be_v right_o say_v to_o fall_v into_o popery_n and_o to_o incline_v unto_o i●_n but_o if_o we_o call_v all_o those_o truth_n which_o they_o have_v and_o be_v keep_v sound_a among_o they_o in_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n or_o those_o thing_n which_o in_o matter_n of_o worship_n be_v good_a and_o pure_a and_o free_a from_o corruption_n by_o the_o name_n of_o popery_n we_o be_v very_o much_o mistake_v if_o we_o must_v make_v use_n of_o nothing_o in_o the_o service_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n which_o they_o use_v nor_o may_v have_v liberty_n to_o assume_v to_o ourselves_o the_o right_a use_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o they_o do_v or_o have_v abuse_v be_v purge_v from_o their_o

the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n pull_v down_o our_o church_n and_o abandon_v all_o religion_n now_o it_o be_v know_v to_o the_o world_n that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n renounce_v the_o usurp_a

that_o no_o man_n can_v accuse_v she_o unjust_o of_o popery_n or_o brand_v she_o with_o the_o name_n of_o popery_n see_v she_o have_v make_v a_o full_a separation_n from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o though_o she_o make_v use_v of_o some_o thing_n which_o they_o use_v in_o the_o service_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n yet_o they_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v lawful_a in_o themselves_o and_o full_o purge_v from_o their_o corruption_n and_o superstition_n and_o can_v just_o be_v account_v or_o call_v popery_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v once_o a_o true_a and_o sound_a church_n though_o we_o profess_v no_o perfection_n in_o the_o world_n and_o not_o so_o pure_a but_o may_v be_v taint_v with_o some_o corruption_n and_o be_v famous_a for_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o true_a faith_n

of_o the_o book_n itself_o only_o they_o allege_v this_o that_o they_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o it_o prove_v a_o offence_n to_o many_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o disquiet_v many_o man_n conscience_n of_o minister_n and_o other_o be_v too_o much_o heighten_v by_o the_o prelate_n make_v as_o it_o be_v a_o idol_n by_o many_o ignorant_a people_n be_v a_o mean_n to_o hearten_v papist_n
