own_o church_n in_o which_o he_o affirm_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o these_o private_a devotion_n and_o hour_n of_o prayer_n be_v no_o new_a devotion_n of_o his_o own_o compose_n but_o only_o a_o reviuall_n or_o new_a impression_n of_o those_o private_a prayer_n and_o devotion_n as_o be_v former_o publish_v by_o queen_n elizabeth_n in_o the_o year_n 1560._o and_o so_o do_v most_o
