be_v the_o great_a work_n that_o the_o lord_n require_v at_o your_o hand_n oh_o you_o worthy_n of_o israel_n to_o stub_n up_o all_o these_o unprofitable_a tree_n and_o to_o repair_v the_o breach_n of_o god_n house_n to_o build_v it_o up_o in_o its_o beauty_n according_a to_o the_o pattern_n in_o the_o mount_n and_o to_o bring_v we_o back_o not_o only_o to_o our_o first_o reformation_n in_o

where_o they_o have_v be_v long_o detain_v it_o be_v impossible_a but_o our_o garment_n shall_v smell_v a_o little_a of_o the_o dungeon_n from_o whence_o we_o come_v it_o be_v say_v of_o lazarus_n that_o when_o he_o come_v first_o out_o of_o the_o grave_a 1.44_o he_o come_v forth_o bind_v hand_n and_o foot_n with_o grave-clothes_n and_o his_o face_n be_v bind_v about_o with_o a_o napkin_n so_o it_o be_v with_o we_o in_o our_o first_o reformation_n it_o be_v a_o most_o bless_a and_o glorious_a work_n like_o the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o grave_a but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o come_v out_o of_o this_o grave_a bind_a hand_n and_o foot_n with_o our_o grave_a clothes_n and_o eyes-blind_a napkin_n we_o bring_v many_o thing_n out_o with_o we_o which_o shall_v have_v be_v leave_v behind_o our_o saviour_n christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o leave_v all_o his_o linen_n clothes_n behind_o he_o 10.5_o so_o must_v we_o bury_v all_o superstitious_a ceremony_n in_o the_o

disciple_n to_o unbind_v lazarus_n and_o to_o take_v away_o his_o grave-clothes_n oh_o that_o you_o also_o will_v command_v the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n the_o faithful_a and_o learned_a minister_n of_o this_o kingdom_n to_o meet_v in_o a_o free_a national_a synod_n for_o to_o inform_v you_o about_o the_o take_v away_o of_o these_o grave_a clothes_n and_o eiesblind_a napkin_n or_o whatsoever_o else_o shall_v appear_v to_o be_v prejudicial_a to_o the_o piety_n and_o purity_n of_o of_o god_n worship_n but_o than_o i_o do_v most_o earnest_o beseech_v you_o to_o take_v heed_n that_o those_o who_o you_o call_v to_o this_o synod_n be_v not_o like_o unto_o the_o cardinal_n and_o prelate_n who_o meet_v at_o rome_n to_o consult_v about_o reformation_n of_o the_o church_n convent_n of_o who_o

motion_n which_o i_o offer_v in_o all_o humility_n succeed_v your_o wisdom_n will_v be_v careful_a to_o make_v such_o qualification_n both_o of_o the_o person_n that_o be_v to_o choose_v and_o to_o be_v choose_v that_o no_o minister_n liable_a to_o any_o just_a exception_n shall_v have_v a_o voice_n in_o this_o synod_n for_o fear_v lest_o our_o great_a remedy_n prove_v to_o be_v our_o great_a
