build_v and_o deck_v their_o own_o house_n so_o gorgeous_o and_o despise_v the_o house_n of_o god_n their_o lord_n it_o be_v sin_n and_o shame_n to_o see_v so_o many_o church_n so_o ruinous_a and_o so_o foul_o decay_v almost_o in_o every_o corner_n if_o a_o man_n private_a house_n wherein_o he_o dwell_v be_v decay_v he_o will_v never_o cease_v till_o it_o be_v restore_v up_o again_o yea_o if_o

to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n if_o you_o have_v any_o common_a honesty_n if_o you_o have_v any_o conscience_n in_o keep_v of_o necessary_a and_o godly_a ordinance_n keep_v your_o church_n in_o
