so_o grievouf_o disturb_v these_o nation_n at_o the_o time_n of_o our_o reformation_n from_o the_o gross_a error_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o to_o what_o else_o but_o these_o can_v we_o more_o candid_o impute_v those_o unexpected_a endeavour_n that_o have_v be_v use_v against_o the_o new_a version_n of_o the_o psalm_n which_o design_v to_o retreive_v that_o part_n of_o our_o

any_o and_o that_o therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o indulge_v any_o error_n when_o we_o have_v so_o fair_a a_o opportunity_n of_o see_v it_o correct_v and_o that_o i_o may_v vindicate_v our_o church_n from_o such_o as_o asperse_v she_o in_o this_o particular_a and_o be_v willing_a to_o impeach_v her_o credit_n and_o impair_v her_o reputation_n by_o allege_v that_o the_o anciens_fw-fr psalm_n of_o

see_v that_o the_o public_a use_n of_o it_o in_o our_o church_n be_v agreeable_a to_o reason_n conformable_a to_o the_o constitution_n of_o our_o church_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o convocation_n
