that_o their_o custom_n and_o ceremony_n have_v be_v sinful_a they_o have_v not_o communicate_v with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o if_o you_o tell_v i_o why_o do_v not_o then_o the_o church_n of_o france_n and_o other_o beyond_o the_o sea_n observe_v the_o same_o ceremony_n i_o will_v answer_v with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n according_a to_o the_o 34._o of_o her_o article_n that_o

you_o come_v into_o some_o church_n keep_v her_o custom_n if_o you_o will_v not_o scandalize_v any_o nor_o be_v scandalize_v of_o any_o and_o indeed_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o christian_n to_o

heresy_n deny_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n as_o you_o may_v observe_v in_o the_o 15._o chapter_n some_o will_v defile_v the_o christian_a doctrine_n with_o judaical_a superstition_n which_o some_o false_a doctor_n will_v introduce_v in_o the_o church_n as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n moreover_o they_o will_v infect_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n with_o the_o

that_o the_o division_n of_o the_o corinthian_n be_v not_o about_o the_o save_a knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n nor_o about_o heresy_n which_o evert_v the_o doctrine_n but_o about_o the_o manner_n
