the_o principal_a act_n of_o the_o popish_a religion_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v in_o some_o particular_n as_o first_o in_o rest_v upon_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n we_o be_v sure_a that_o

that_o be_v the_o popish_a receive_n of_o the_o bread_n without_o the_o wine_n under_o pretence_n of_o concomitancie_n no_o though_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o christ_n be_v corporal_o present_a because_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o seal_n and_o sign_n of_o our_o crucify_a lord_n when_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n be_v sever_v as_o he_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n 20._o luk._n 22._o 19_o

of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n though_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n be_v monarchical_a yet_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n bishop_n and_o minister_n it_o be_v

without_o they_o without_o offence_n because_o god_n have_v never_o command_v or_o require_v such_o pretend_a help_n yea_o and_o the_o papist_n do_v sometime_o pray_v without_o they_o as_o in_o some_o of_o their_o private_a orison_n and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o lent_n when_o they_o be_v cover_v but_o we_o can_v be_v sure_a that_o such_o worship_n can_v please_v god_n because_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o punctual_a against_o they_o and_o they_o be_v such_o snare_n to_o tie_v our_o devotion_n below_o six_o in_o invocation_n of_o saint_n we_o be_v sure_a that_o we_o may_v call_v upon_o god_n
