call_v the_o house_n of_o prayer_n and_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n many_o of_o those_o humble_a and_o devout_a christian_n who_o sudden_a journey_n or_o business_n of_o present_a necessity_n be_v such_o as_o not_o to_o allow_v they_o time_n to_o attend_v the_o public_a worship_n and_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n will_v yet_o express_v their_o devotion_n by_o go_v into_o a_o church_n or_o oratory_n and_o there_o how_o at_o the_o altar_n then_o kneel_v and_o beg_v of_o god_n to_o pardon_v their_o sin_n past_a and_o to_o be_v their_o director_n and_o protector_n that_o day_n and_o have_v again_o bow_v towards_o the_o east_n at_o the_o altar_n begin_v their_o journey_n or_o business_n and_o they_o think_v god_n well_o please_v with_o so_o short_a a_o prayer_n and_o such_o a_o sacrifice_n much_o more_o may_v be_v say_v for_o bow_v at_o the_o altar_n and_o bow_v towards_o the_o east_n but_o i_o forbear_v and_o now_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o serious_o do_v you_o think_v this_o which_o i_o think_v to_o be_v a_o duty_n aught_o to_o be_v forbear_v because_o our_o cousin_n and_o her_o party_n be_v scandalize_v at_o it_o or_o do_v you_o

the_o late_a consusion_n and_o place_v all_o power_n in_o that_o parliament_n 1640._o that_o murder_a dr._n laud_n the_o late_a religious_a bishop_n of_o canterbury_n the_o late_a good_a and_o pious_a king_n charles_n and_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o spill_v so_o much_o innocent_a blood_n and_o ruin_n of_o so_o many_o harmless_a famille_n can_v you_o think_v she_o to_o be_v a_o reasonable_a excuse_n that_o god_n have_v determine_v or_o appoint_v this_o because_o we_o be_v a_o sinful_a nation_n it_o shall_v be_v grant_v that_o we_o be_v god_n know_v we_o still_o be_v a_o sinful_a nation_n and_o

first_o to_o judge_v and_o then_o to_o be_v the_o executioner_n of_o his_o will_n and_o before_o i_o pass_v further_o i_o pray_v observe_v it_o be_v god_n will_v that_o his_o only_a son_n our_o

be_v as_o willing_a to_o begin_v new_a commotion_n as_o you_o be_v senseless_a of_o the_o old_a my_o meaning_n be_v not_o in_o say_v this_o to_o upbraid_v or_o provoke_v you_o but_o rather_o to_o

say_v the_o bishop_n have_v great_a revenue_n and_o preach_v not_o for_o it_o to_o which_o i_o will_v answer_v you_o in_o love_n first_o you_o say_v that_o the_o bishop_n revenue_n be_v much_o great_a than_o indeed_o they_o be_v and_o you_o seem_v to_o repine_v because_o you_o do_v not_o consider_v how_o much_o must_v go_v out_o of_o they_o by_o first-fruit_n ten_o and_o other_o payment_n of_o necessity_n and_o you_o ought_v to_o consider_v much_o must_v go_v out_o in_o bounty_n and_o charity_n and_o some_o in_o hospitality_n and_o state_n i_o say_v in_o state_n and_o attendance_n for_o be_v it_o fit_a that_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o inferior_a clergy_n of_o his_o diocese_n and_o of_o many_o of_o the_o laity_n shall_v not_o have_v a_o liberal_a revenue_n and_o live_v in_o more_o plenty_n and_o splendour_n than_o the_o common_a people_n do_v or_o can_v do_v doubtless_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o let_v he_o be_v never_o so_o prudent_a and_o diligent_a so_o inward_o humble_a and_o outward_o meek_a yet_o if_o he_o have_v not_o a_o revenue_n to_o live_v above_o the_o common_a people_n he_o must_v make_v himself_o a_o companion_n for_o they_o and_o lose_v the_o reverence_n due_a to_o his_o dignity_n and_o by_o that_o make_v himself_o both_o cheap_a and_o contemptible_a and_o he_o that_o will_v consider_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o bishop_n live_v thus_o and_o the_o small_a revenue_n that_o most_o of_o the_o bishop_n have_v may_v turn_v his_o malign_v they_o their_o revenue_n into_o a_o wonder_n how_o they_o make_v their_o revenue_n to_o do_v it_o and_o a_o pity_n it_o be_v no_o more_o there_o be_v indeed_o some_o few_o of_o they_o who_o revenue_n do_v abound_v and_o i_o think_v i_o shall_v not_o be_v mistake_v if_o i_o say_v there_o have_v be_v by_o they_o more_o highway_n mend_v and_o more_o hospital_n school_n and_o college_n build_v and_o endow_v than_o by_o five_o time_n their_o number_n of_o lay_v lord_n or_o by_o all_o the_o physician_n and_o lawyer_n of_o this_o nation_n though_o very_o many_o of_o their_o employment_n turn_v to_o much_o more_o profit_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o repine_v at_o and_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o also_o it_o be_v not_o often_o that_o any_o be_v make_v a_o bishop_n till_o the_o age_n of_o sixty_o year_n and_o then_o he_o undertake_v the_o care_n and_o toil_n of_o government_n to_o prevent_v heresy_n and_o schism_n or_o suppress_v and_o punish_v they_o and_o as_o occasion_n serve_v by_o his_o writing_n to_o defend_v this_o church_n from_o the_o clamour_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n or_o the_o resiless_a sectary_n of_o this_o and_o may_v not_o the_o revenue_n of_o a_o bishop_n be_v think_v a_o just_a reward_n for_o his_o forty_o year_n past_o study_n and_o his_o present_a care_n though_o he_o preach_v not_o and_o yet_o many_o of_o they_o do_v preach_v often_o though_o not_o weekly_a and_o let_v i_o add_v this_o to_o what_o be_v say_v what_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v
