that_o to_o the_o most_o dull_a and_o unlearned_a o●_n mankind_n especial_o if_o they_o do_v but_o know_v that_o we_o meet_v together_o to_o worship_n god_n as_o observe_v before_o 5._o that_o

to_o all_o the_o people_n because_o ●●_o it_o can_v not_o signify_v worship_n ut_fw-la his_o approach_n to_o god_n and_o so_o it_o will_v be_v on_o the_o sam●●_n account_n if_o he_o prefer_v bow_v

than_o to_o turn_v towards_o the_o altar_n none_o can_v think_v it_o will_v look_v like_o a_o act_n of_o divine_a worship_n but_o it_o will_v seem_v like_o their_o pass_v a_o compliment_n to_o each_o

of_o like_a nature_n will_v be_v find_v in_o bow_v in_o any_o way_n whatever_o but_o that_o in_o use_n and_o that_o however_o the_o entrance_n into_o or_o situation_n of_o quire_n be_v or_o of_o any_o

be_v of_o such_o a_o profane_a spirit_n that_o they_o will_v never_o set_v themselves_o to_o study_v to_o do_v their_o duty_n therein_o both_o these_o be_v to_o be_v reject_v whatever_o advantage_n the_o parish_n may_v make_v by_o their_o election_n for_o so_o sacred_a a_o thing_n as_o the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o almighty_n god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v subjugate_v to_o the_o secular_a

person_n to_o be_v guide_n to_o the_o people_n in_o this_o most_o solemn_a office_n of_o divine_a worship_n that_o be_v in_o any_o way_n a_o scandal_n or_o dishonour_n thereunto_o or_o unfit_a to_o perform_v it_o as_o he_o ought_v and_o if_o any_o such_o be_v already_o in_o the_o place_n my_o request_n be_v that_o the_o minister_n and_o vestry_n will_v use_v their_o authority_n to_o reform_v they_o and_o engage_v they_o to_o study_v the_o most_o decent_a and_o graceful_a manner_n of_o performance_n and_o if_o that_o can_v be_v effect_v to_o force_v they_o to_o admit_v the_o help_n of_o another_o in_o that_o matter_n though_o they_o continue_v to_o do_v the_o parish-business_n in_o other_o respect_n i_o make_v this_o humble_a request_n because_o i_o believe_v that_o a_o clerk_n

to_o the_o clergy_n and_o now_o i_o most_o humble_o beseech_v the_o reverend_a clergy_n of_o this_o church_n that_o they_o will_v not_o despise_v the_o advice_n of_o so_o unworthy_a a_o person_n if_o there_o be_v not_o truth_n in_o what_o i_o write_v i_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v regard_v but_o if_o there_o be_v truth_n be_v a_o thing_n so_o divine_a and_o excellent_a as_o not_o for_o my_o
