all_o our_o imperfect_a petition_n he_o instruct_v they_o that_o as_o by_o the_o second_o commandment_n we_o be_v require_v not_o to_o bow_v down_o or_o worship_v a_o idol_n or_o false_a god_n so_o by_o the_o contrary_a rule_n we_o be_v to_o bow_v down_o and_o kneel_v or_o stand_v up_o and_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n and_o he_o instruct_v they_o why_o the_o church_n require_v the_o

and_o praise_n and_o that_o eight_o day_n after_o this_o happy_a birth_n we_o celebrate_v his_o circumcision_n namely_o in_o that_o which_o we_o call_v new-year_n day_n and_o that_o upon_o that_o we_o call_v twelfthday_n we_o commemorate_v the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o unsearchable_a riches_n of_o jesus_n to_o the_o gentile_n and_o that_o day_n we_o also_o celebrate_v the_o memory_n of_o his_o

commemorate_v and_o condole_v his_o crucifixion_n and_o at_o easter_n commemorate_v his_o glorious_a resurrection_n and_o he_o teach_v they_o that_o after_o jesus_n have_v manifest_v himself_o to_o his_o disciple_n to_o be_v that_o christ_n that_o be_v crucify_v dead_a and_o bury_v that_o then_o by_o his_o appear_v and_o converse_v with_o they_o for_o the_o space_n of_o forty_o day_n after_o his_o resurrection_n he_o then_o and_o not_o till_o then_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o disciple_n namely_o on_o that_o day_n which_o we_o call_v the_o ascension_n or_o holy_a thursday_n and_o that_o we_o then_o celebrate_v the_o performance_n of_o the_o promise_n which_o he_o make_v to_o his_o disciple_n at_o or_o before_o his_o ascension_n namely_o that_o though_o

church_n keep_v a_o historical_a and_o circular_a commemoration_n of_o time_n as_o they_o pass_v by_o we_o of_o such_o time_n as_o aught_o to_o incline_v we_o to_o occasional_a praise_n for_o the_o particular_a blessing_n which_o we_o do_v or_o may_v receive_v at_o those_o holy_a time_n he_o make_v they_o know_v why_o the_o church_n have_v appoint_v ember-week_n and_o to_o know_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o commandment_n and_o the_o epistle_n and_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v read_v at_o the_o altar_n or_o communion_n table_n why_o the_o priest_n be_v to_o pray_v the_o litany_n kneel_v and_o why_o to_o pray_v some_o collect_v stand_v and_o he_o give_v they_o many_o other_o observation_n fit_a for_o his_o plain_a congregation_n but_o not_o fit_a for_o i_o now_o to_o mention_v for_o i_o

at_o any_o time_n too_o zealous_a in_o his_o sermon_n it_o be_v in_o reprove_v the_o indecency_n of_o the_o people_n behaviour_n in_o the_o time_n of_o divine_a service_n and_o of_o those_o minister_n that_o huddle_v up_o the_o church-prayer_n without_o a_o visible_a reverence_n and_o affection_n namely_o such_o as_o seem_v to_o say_v the_o lord_n prayer_n or_o a_o collect_n in_o a_o breath_n but_o for_o himself_o his_o custom_n be_v to_o stop_v betwixt_o every_o collect_n and_o give_v the_o people_n time_n to_o consider_v what_o they_o have_v pray_v and_o to_o force_v their_o desire_n
