you_o know_v be_v a_o abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o commandment_n preciselie_o be_v that_o you_o shall_v not_o partake_v therewith_o now_o if_o you_o will_v not_o harken_v to_o his_o

therewith_o be_v somewhat_o tolerable_a but_o see_v yourselves_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v a_o devise_a service_n oh_o think_v how_o altogether_o in_o excusable_a this_o your_o practice_n be_v now_o before_o god_n in_o truth_n it_o can_v but_o provoke_v he_o to_o sore_a displeasure_n consider_v how_o gross_o those_o do_v mock_v he_o which_o profess_v one_o thing_n and_o do_v another_o i_o will_v know_v what_o assurance_n you_o can_v have_v that_o god_n be_v your_o father_n see_v his_o promise_n be_v not_o to_o be_v our_o father_n but_o upon_o this_o condition_n that_o we_o touch_v no_o pollute_a 18._o thing_n in_o word_n you_o confess_v that_o leiturgy_n to_o be_v a_o unclean_a thing_n can_v you_o then_o touch_v it_o and_o yet_o believe_v upon_o good_a ground_n of_o scripture_n that_o you_o be_v his_o son_n and_o daughter_n in_o christ_n i_o spare_v to_o speak_v my_o own_o thought_n but_o i_o wish_v you_o to_o look_v well_o unto_o it_o it_o may_v be_v you_o think_v your_o dislike_n thereof_o be_v sufficient_a but_o in_o truth_n god_n love_v no_o half_a servant_n he_o that_o shall_v go_v and_o lie_v down_o in_o bed_n with_o a_o harlot_n and_o give_v she_o the_o defiance_n sin_v notwithstanding_o even_o so_o how_o disdainful_o soever_o you_o either_o speak_v or_o write_v against_o that_o idol_n yet_o be_v you_o still_o trespasser_n so_o long_o as_o you_o prostrate_v your_o soul_n unto_o it_o be_v therefore_o sincere_a and_o plain_a in_o god_n matter_n so_o shall_v you_o have_v peace_n and_o comfort_n in_o the_o late_a end_n marvel_v not_o that_o i_o be_o thus_o earnest_a with_o you_o alas_o how_o can_v i_o choose_v the_o love_n of_o god_n constrain_v i_o and_o true_o it_o grieve_v my_o very_a soul_n to_o think_v of_o the_o great_a number_n among_o they_o which_o be_v enlighten_v and_o in_o their_o own_o conscience_n full_o convince_v of_o this_o truth_n viz._n that_o their_o service_n book_n be_v unlawful_a and_o antichristian_a and_o yet_o partake_v in_o the_o filthiness_n thereof_o sure_o these_o do_v not_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n more_o hateful_a than_o idolatry_n for_o as_o a_o man_n will_v bear_v with_o much_o frowardness_n and_o unkindness_n in_o his_o wife_n but_o not_o suffer_v she_o at_o any_o hand_n to_o commit_v whoredom_n so_o god_n will_v bear_v with_o many_o

end_v this_o chapter_n with_o the_o word_n of_o a_o learned_a conformist_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o worship_n god_n 113_o except_o we_o give_v he_o such_o worship_n as_o be_v seemly_a for_o his_o
