the_o argument_n pretend_v to_o be_v draw_v from_o hence_o thus_o cathedrall_n be_v so_o and_o so_o therefore_o all_o other_o church_n must_v conform_v to_o they_o and_o then_o manful_o deny_v the_o argument_n and_o say_v we_o must_v live_v by_o law_n not_o by_o example_n exemplis_fw-la legibus_fw-la vivendum_fw-la est_fw-la non_fw-la exemplis_fw-la and_o that_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n of_o all_o our_o church_n be_v prescribe_v and_o precise_o limit_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o not_o leave_v at_o large_a to_o the_o example_n of_o cathedrall_n etc._n etc._n we_o be_v not_o i_o confess_v leave_v to_o be_v rule_v in_o point_n of_o ceremony_n by_o the_o example_n of_o cathedral_n church_n and_o it_o be_v the_o best_a and_o right_a course_n to_o live_v by_o law_n rather_o than_o example_n but_o that_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n have_v so_o prescribe_v and_o precise_o limit_v the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n that_o no_o custom_n or_o usage_n how_o ancient_a or_o pious_a so_o ever_o may_v be_v practise_v without_o express_a allowance_n of_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n or_o of_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n which_o by_o it_o be_v authorise_v that_o i_o have_v already_o show_v to_o be_v untrue_a but_o i_o wonder_v where_o the_o man_n find_v any_o use_v that_o argument_n in_o that_o manner_n yet_o i_o need_v not_o wonder_n it_o be_v common_a with_o weak_a and_o passionate_a disputant_n to_o cast_v the_o argument_n of_o their_o adversary_n to_o such_o a_o mould_n as_o they_o can_v best_o fit_v they_o with_o answer_n and_o to_o make_v they_o say_v that_o to_o which_o they_o can_v say_v somewhat_o not_o that_o which_o indeed_o they_o speak_v or_o intend_v and_o thus_o he_o have_v deal_v with_o this_o for_o who_o know_v not_o that_o cathedral_n have_v ever_o have_v certain_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n vestment_n and_o other_o ornament_n which_o have_v not_o be_v use_v in_o parochial_o and_o that_o to_o reduce_v all_o parochial_a church_n to_o their_o model_n be_v neither_o necessary_a nor_o convenient_a nor_o almost_o possible_a to_o be_v do_v yet_o the_o argument_n draw_v from_o the_o example_n of_o cathedral_n be_v good_a enough_o against_o master_n b._n and_o hold_v strong_o to_o prove_v that_o for_o which_o it_o be_v bring_v it_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n to_o say_v cathedral_n be_v so_o and_o so_o or_o use_v such_o and_o such_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n and_o ever_o since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reformation_n have_v use_v they_o therefore_o those_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n be_v no_o noveltye_n or_o innovation_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n yea_o and_o it_o may_v pass_v for_o a_o good_a argument_n to_o clear_v those_o ceremony_n which_o he_o have_v so_o deep_o charge_v from_o superstition_n and_o idolatry_n except_o with_o such_o as_o be_v so_o past_a sense_n and_o shame_n as_o to_o lay_v the_o approbation_n and_o allowance_n of_o those_o gross_a sin_n to_o this_o church_n yea_o and_o condemn_v not_o the_o prelate_n only_o but_o these_o sovereign_a prince_n who_o have_v not_o only_o not_o purge_v but_o be_v spectator_n and_o actor_n in_o the_o same_o and_o therefore_o if_o he_o have_v not_o have_v so_o much_o wisdom_n as_o to_o think_v the_o church_n and_o the_o sovereign_n and_o subordinate_a governor_n thereof_o to_o be_v as_o wise_a and_o able_a to_o judge_v and_o as_o conscientious_a to_o avoid_v superstition_n and_o idolatry_n as_o he_o yet_o he_o may_v have_v show_v that_o modesty_n and_o reverence_n as_o not_o to_o have_v trumpet_v out_o their_o fault_n but_o rather_o to_o have_v imitate_v samuel_n in_o honour_v they_o and_o uphold_v their_o reputation_n 31._o 1._o sam._n 15._o 31._o before_o the_o people_n but_o he_o proceed_v after_o his_o rave_a manner_n to_o let_v fly_v at_o the_o usage_n and_o ornament_n in_o several_a cathedrall_n where_o it_o must_v be_v take_v for_o a_o innovation_n if_o any_o ornament_n that_o be_v decay_v have_v happen_v to_o be_v renew_v or_o repair_v or_o thing_n neglect_v have_v be_v restore_v 162._o 162._o or_o any_o chapel_n in_o either_o university_n be_v adorn_v &_o they_o be_v tax_v to_o become_v nursery_n of_o superstition_n and_o idolaty_n to_o the_o whole_a land_n and_o tell_v of_o a_o late_a order_n read_v at_o sidney_n college_n in_o cambridge_n that_o whosoever_o will_v not_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n &_o to_o the_o altar_n shall_v be_v upon_o the_o second_o admonition_n expel_v the_o college_n wherein_o sure_o his_o intelligence_n deceive_v he_o &_o make_v he_o foist_v a_o order_n upon_o that_o college_n which_o i_o dare_v say_v be_v not_o guilty_a in_o any_o such_o kind_n and_o then_o he_o quarrel_v the_o call_n of_o cathedral_n mother-churche_n because_o forsooth_o other_o church_n never_o come_v out_o of_o their_o belly_n and_o such_o like_a stuff_n which_o to_o i_o seem_v not_o worthy_a any_o other_o answer_n than_o silence_n or_o laughter_n at_o last_o he_o fall_v upon_o the_o royal_a chapel_n which_o he_o say_v be_v the_o innovator_n last_o refuge_n and_o they_o as_o 165._o pag._n 165._o he_o false_o charge_v they_o plead_v the_o whole_a equipage_n thereof_o as_o a_o pattern_n for_o all_o church_n to_o follow_v etc._n etc._n in_o his_o answer_n to_o which_o he_o have_v true_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o subject_n to_o compare_v with_o the_o king_n in_o the_o state_n of_o his_o royal_a family_n or_o chapel_n and_o so_o in_o his_o second_o answer_n that_o many_o thing_n in_o 166._o pag._n 166._o the_o king_n chapel_n as_o choir_n of_o gentleman_n &c._n &c._n can_v be_v have_v or_o maintain_v in_o ordinary_a church_n but_o though_o these_o answer_n have_v be_v sufficient_a to_o have_v answer_v that_o argument_n if_o it_o have_v be_v bring_v by_o any_o in_o that_o manner_n wherein_o he_o propound_v it_o yet_o he_o rest_v not_o in_o they_o but_o add_v other_o and_o not_o obscure_o intimate_v that_o the_o practice_n even_o of_o the_o royal_a chapel_n and_o the_o rite_n there_o use_v be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o the_o divine_a rule_n of_o scripture_n and_o compare_v the_o use_n of_o they_o to_z the_o bowing_z to_z king_n nebuchadnezar_n golden_a image_n and_o the_o offering_n of_o incense_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o emperor_n julian_n the_o apostatels_n altar_n at_o his_o command_n which_o the_o godly_a servant_n of_o god_n in_o those_o time_n by_o no_o mean_n can_v be_v bring_v to_o do_v and_o conclude_v with_o a_o supposal_n that_o if_o mass_n be_v set_v up_o in_o the_o king_n chapel_n it_o be_v no_o good_a argument_n why_o it_o shall_v be_v admit_v in_o all_o the_o church_n throughout_o the_o realm_n of_o england_n and_o i_o very_o believe_v that_o the_o argument_n be_v insufficient_a to_o make_v the_o mass_n or_o any_o other_o idolatrous_a worship_n to_o be_v lawful_a but_o say_v with_o all_o that_o his_o answer_n be_v dangerous_a and_o most_o disloyal_a insinuation_n of_o the_o violation_n of_o law_n of_o idolatry_n and_o superstition_n practise_v in_o the_o royal_a chapel_n by_o the_o allowance_n and_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o most_o sacred_a majesty_n and_o fit_a for_o the_o censure_n of_o authority_n than_o other_o answer_n and_o i_o conclude_v as_o he_o do_v with_o that_o which_o if_o he_o have_v right_o consider_v will_v have_v teach_v he_o more_o religion_n and_o loyalty_n and_o have_v save_v i_o this_o trouble_n my_o son_n fear_v thou_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o king_n and_o meddle_v not_o with_o they_o that_o be_v give_v to_o change_v for_o their_o calamity_n shall_v rise_v sudden_o and_o who_o know_v the_o ruin_n of_o they_o both_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v go_v over_o these_o eight_o head_n of_o innovation_n wherein_o i_o be_v willing_a to_o follow_v master_n burtons_n method_n and_o take_v his_o own_o division_n not_o that_o i_o think_v it_o perfect_a for_o i_o may_v easy_o have_v reduce_v they_o to_o half_a that_o number_n but_o because_o i_o think_v that_o the_o best_a way_n for_o the_o satisfy_n of_o some_o kind_n of_o reader_n who_o will_v perhaps_o if_o i_o have_v abridge_v their_o number_n have_v think_v some_o of_o they_o unanswered_a and_o in_o my_o answer_n to_o these_o i_o have_v bring_v in_o divers_a thing_n such_o as_o i_o think_v most_o material_a which_o i_o find_v scatter_v in_o other_o place_n and_o except_v his_o senseless_a rail_n and_o declamation_n wherein_o he_o have_v tautologise_v to_o the_o tire_a of_o a_o resolve_a patience_n i_o trust_v i_o have_v not_o omit_v any_o thing_n to_o which_o a_o answer_n may_v not_o well_o be_v frame_v out_o of_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v i_o shall_v now_o desire_v to_o take_v a_o little_a breath_n and_o by_o way_n of_o digression_n though_o not_o altogether_o impertinent_o to_o give_v a_o brief_a of_o the_o story_n of_o the_o proceed_n of_o
