discipline_n government_n rite_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v all_o of_o they_o so_o many_o branch_n of_o popery_n for_o proof_n hereof_o first_o for_o the_o liturgy_n this_o be_v a_o branch_n of_o popery_n in_o two_o general_a respect_n first_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o whole_a frame_n and_o matter_n of_o it_o as_o be_v translate_v out_o of_o the_o romish_a latin_a liturgy_n as_o be_v confess_v in_o the_o book_n of_o martyr_n see_v for_o this_o the_o late_a parallel_n between_o the_o english_a liturgy_n and_o the_o mass-book_n i_o omit_v to_o say_v any_o thing_n here_o of_o the_o many_o vicious_a particular_n throughout_o the_o service-book_n which_o run_v as_o the_o corrupt_a blood_n through_o all_o the_o vein_n of_o it_o and_o be_v by_o other_o sufficient_o discover_v this_o be_v enough_o to_o show_v it_o to_o be_v popish_a the_o second_o general_n be_v the_o imposition_n of_o it_o upon_o all_o man_n conscience_n which_o bare_a imposition_n alone_o be_v the_o liturgy_n in_o itself_o never_o so_o free_a from_o other_o fault_n yet_o be_v a_o service_n of_o man_n devise_v the_o imposition_n i_o say_v make_v it_o a_o branch_n of_o popery_n for_o popery_n we_o know_v be_v antichristianism_n and_o antichristianism_n be_v a_o opposition_n to_o christ_n so_o as_o this_o imposition_n upon_o the_o conscience_n be_v a_o oppose_v and_o overthrow_v of_o

the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n in_o his_o spiritual_a kingdom_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o pope_n be_v prove_v to_o be_v that_o antichrist_n who_o be_v *_o 4._o the_o advesary_a that_o

over_o the_o true_a temple_n of_o god_n over_o the_o spiritual_a kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o tyranny_n be_v chief_o exercise_v in_o usurp_a dominion_n over_o our_o faith_n and_o conscience_n in_o the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n which_o they_o place_n in_o the_o liturgy_n this_o be_v the_o high_a pride_n and_o presumption_n of_o antichrist_n that_o possible_o can_v be_v this_o be_v that_o will-worship_n or_o a_o worship_n invent_v of_o man_n will_n and_o choice_n which_o the_o apostle_n *_o 23._o express_o condemn_v and_o brand_v as_o the_o high_a tyranny_n which_o to_o

as_o a_o a_o vain_a worship_n of_o he_o be_v a_o main_a branch_n of_o popery_n second_o for_o ceremony_n of_o man_n devise_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o impose_v upon_o the_o conscience_n these_o be_v the_o same_o nature_n with_o as_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o liturgy_n be_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n as_o before_o prove_v to_o be_v popery_n thirdây_o for_o discipline_n which_o stand_v chief_o in_o correction_n of_o manner_n and_o inflict_v of_o censure_n as_o excommunication_n such_o as_o be_v and_o have_v be_v exercise_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n by_o the_o

in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o in_o all_o point_n so_o to_o jump_v and_o agree_v as_o you_o must_v of_o necessity_n conclude_v iâ_z româs_v discipâiââ_n be_v popery_n then_o certain_o our_o englâsh_n dâscipline_n be_v popery_n too_o for_o in_o nothing_o i_o say_v do_v they_o differ_v so_o as_o discipline_n of_o our_o church_n be_v false_a and_o counterfeit_v because_o popish_a and_o so_o our_o church_n want_v the_o true_a discipline_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o three_o mark_n of_o a_o viââble_a true_a church_n as_o it_o be_v note_v in_o our_o homily_n the_o church_n of_o england_n want_v this_o mark_n at_o the_o least_o and_o if_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o duty_n administer_v as_o be_v mix_v and_o corrupt_v with_o a_o service_n of_o man_n devise_v and_o minister_v pell-mell_o as_o in_o the_o lord_n super_fw-la to_o ignorant_a and_o profane_a person_n then_o for_o aught_o i_o see_v it_o want_v a_o second_o mark_n of_o a_o visible_a true_a church_n and_o if_o as_o late_o and_o still_o in_o many_o place_n the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o the_o preach_n of_o it_o be_v general_o corrupt_v as_o when_o the_o full_a and_o free_a liberty_n of_o it_o in_o sundry_a point_n of_o evangelical_a truth_n be_v restrain_v and_o prohibit_v by_o order_n and_o edict_n not_o yet_o call_v in_o and_o damn_v by_o this_o reckon_n it_o shall_v want_v the_o three_o mark_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o in_o case_n the_o call_n of_o the_o ministry_n itself_o shall_v prove_v a_o piece_n of_o popery_n too_o but_o this_o by_o the_o way_n only_o it_o lead_v we_o the_o way_n to_o the_o next_o point_n which_o be_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n four_o then_o for_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n by_o archbishop_n bishop_n arch-deacon_n dâanes_n commissary_n official_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o that_o fraternity_n if_o this_o be_v not_o popery_n yea_o and_o a_o top-branch_n of_o it_o i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v sure_o we_o be_v not_o any_o one_o of_o all_o this_o rabble_n be_v find_v to_o be_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o of_o divine_a institution_n this_o government_n be_v not_o and_o consequent_o christian_a it_o be_v not_o it_o must_v needs_o then_o be_v of_o antichrist_n order_n and_o papal_a mere_o so_o as_o if_o rome_n hierarchy_n be_v the_o top-branch_n of_o popery_n in_o that_o church_n how_o can_v it_o be_v deny_v that_o the_o hierarchy_n here_o in_o england_n be_v the_o top-branch_n of_o popery_n in_o this_o church_n for_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o this_o hierarchy_n from_o canterbury_n to_o âarlile_v and_o go_v through_o all_o their_o court_n their_o officer_n their_o office_n and_o administration_n therein_o we_o shall_v therein_o behold_v the_o

that_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a mockery_n for_o these_o be_v but_o the_o prelate_n curate_n and_o a_o company_n of_o priest_n little_o differ_v from_o rome_n order_n of_o priesthoâd_fw-mi in_o the_o
