too_o low_o they_o know_v not_o the_o true_a pedigree_n of_o our_o common-prayer_n which_o be_v old_a by_o many_o day_n than_o popery_n itself_o and_o be_v bear_v before_o that_o schism_n come_v in_o for_o this_o i_o will_v have_v wife_n man_n understand_v we_o do_v not_o claim_v any_o thing_n in_o our_o church_n from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o above_o they_o we_o do_v not_o like_o the_o

well_o then_o in_o those_o form_n of_o prayer_n which_o the_o father_n be_v use_v we_o be_v both_o friend_n one_o family_n still_o but_o afterward_o the_o israelite_n fall_v out_o strive_v and_o

last_o when_o religion_n and_o reformation_n begin_v to_o look_v out_o again_o and_o bear_v a_o face_n we_o begin_v to_o bethink_v ourselves_o where_o once_o we_o be_v and_o what_o the_o church_n have_v when_o we_o be_v both_o friend_n and_o that_o we_o challenge_v now_o as_o a_o legacy_n from_o our_o fore_a father_n not_o a_o imitation_n and_o courtesy_n from_o a_o brother_n as_o if_o a_o

may_v purify_v and_o compose_v to_o himself_o this_o form_n of_o worship_n you_o can_v not_o the_o jew_n in_o this_o case_n be_v say_v to_o borrow_v his_o religion_n from_o the_o turk_n but_o moses_n so_o we_o by_o look_v on_o their_o liturgy_n see_v our_o way_n the_o better_a by_o their_o darkness_n to_o arrive_v at_o last_o at_o the_o primitive_a form_n of_o service_n so_o that_o i_o may_v say_v of_o our_o reformer_n and_o composer_n of_o this_o work_n 42.15_o gen._n 42.15_o as_o joseph_n brethren_n plead_v for_o their_o honesty_n thy_o servant_n be_v no_o spy_n hereby_o it_o shall_v be_v

when_o i_o see_v our_o prayer_n fill_v with_o scripture_n saint_n ambrose_n athanasius_n chrysostome_n the_o apostle_n and_o nicene_n father_n i_o can_v be_v so_o dull_a but_o believe_v that_o it_o

that_o which_o be_v out_o of_o their_o reach_n and_o old_a than_o their_o idle_a brain_n the_o jew_n have_v a_o conceit_n that_o melchisedech_n have_v no_o parent_n because_o they_o know_v they_o

the_o scripture_n can_v defend_v it_o from_o popery_n i_o have_v no_o more_o to_o say_v but_o our_o form_n be_v so_o ergo_fw-la the_o minor_a be_v true_a as_o i_o have_v prove_v by_o a_o induction_n of_o every_o part_n the_o conclusion_n follow_v that_o it_o be_v no_o popery_n at_o all_o and_o '_o though_o all_o heretic_n make_v scripture_n their_o asylam_n and_o shroud_v their_o lie_n under_o
