very_a well_o convince_v of_o but_o i_o never_o hear_v of_o her_o hypocrisy_n before_o or_o at_o least_o to_o have_v it_o commend_v too_o and_o true_o if_o what_o our_o author_n will_v make_v we_o believe_v be_v true_a that_o she_o entertain_v the_o athanasian_n and_o nicene_n creed_n only_o in_o complaisance_n to_o the_o papist_n when_o in_o reality_n she_o disbelieve_v they_o she_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o most_o abominable_a hypocrisy_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o she_o use_v the_o apostle_n creed_n only_o in_o those_o office_n he_o speak_v of_o because_o they_o be_v the_o most_o ancient_a and_o the_o short_a and_o therefore_o the_o fit_a for_o these_o occasion_n but_o yet_o by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n she_o understand_v the_o substance_n of_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o other_o which_o she_o look_v upon_o as_o comment_n upon_o this_o but_o however_o to_o be_v sure_a her_o use_n of_o it_o in_o those_o office_n do_v not_o show_v she_o to_o disbelieve_v the_o other_o creed_n any_o more_o than_o the_o use_n of_o the_o athanasian_n or_o nicene_n in_o the_o other_o office_n of_o the_o prayer-book_n show_v that_o she_o disbelieve_v the_o apostle_n one_o will_v have_v think_v that_o her_o use_v all_o three_o do_v show_v her_o belief_n of_o all_o three_o for_o that_o i_o be_o sure_a be_v the_o more_o natural_a consequence_n and_o not_o that_o her_o use_v one_o in_o one_o place_n do_v show_v that_o she_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o other_o two_o she_o use_v in_o other_o place_n well_o but_o this_o may_v be_v in_o compliance_n with_o the_o papist_n that_o she_o use_v they_o but_o how_o do_v he_o prove_v that_o have_v he_o any_o 〈◊〉_d that_o the_o compiler_n of_o the_o common-prayer_n design_v any_o such_o thing_n do_v the_o

all_o her_o member_n than_o by_o what_o she_o have_v do_v she_o recommend_v all_o the_o three_o creed_n in_o her_o article_n and_o tell_v we_o 8._o they_o ought_v thorough_o to_o be_v believe_v for_o they_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o most_o certain_a warrant_n from_o holy_a scripture_n in_o her_o rubric_n she_o have_v order_v the_o athanasian_n creed_n to_o be_v use_v upon_o all_o the_o great_a

if_o she_o do_v not_o expect_v they_o shall_v believe_v what_o they_o so_o solemn_o profess_v if_o the_o author_n can_v believe_v this_o he_o shall_v never_o tax_v the_o orthodox_n again_o with_o
