do_v mistake_v either_o their_o word_n or_o their_o meaning_n and_o i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o if_o i_o have_v send_v for_o a_o hundred_o more_o of_o the_o clergy_n within_o my_o diocese_n i_o

somersesshire_n there_o be_v not_o only_a feast_n of_o dedication_n but_o also_o in_o many_o place_n church-ale_n clerkes-ale_n and_o bid-ale_n the_o feast_n of_o dedication_n be_v more_o general_a and_o general_o they_o be_v call_v feast-daye_n but_o in_o divers_a place_n they_o be_v call_v revell-daye_n they_o be_v not_o know_v among_o the_o ignorant_a people_n by_o the_o name_n of_o feast_n of_o dedication_n but_o all_o scholar_n acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v in_o the_o memory_n of_o their_o several_a dedication_n and_o some_o minister_n of_o late_o have_v teach_v they_o so_o divers_a church_n here_o be_v dedicate_v to_o the_o holy_a trinity_n and_o they_o be_v keep_v upon_o trinity_n sunday_n but_o almost_o all_o those_o feast_n which_o be_v keep_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o dedication_n of_o church_n unto_o saint_n be_v keep_v upon_o some_o sunday_n either_o before_o or_o after_o the_o saint_n day_n because_o as_o i_o conceive_v on_o the_o week_n day_n the_o people_n have_v not_o have_v leisure_n to_o celebrate_v these_o feast_n and_o i_o find_v that_o almost_o all_o the_o feast_n of_o dedication_n be_v keep_v in_o the_o summer_n time_n between_o our_o lady-day_n and_o michaelmas_n because_o that_o time_n of_o the_o year_n be_v most_o convenient_a for_o the_o meeting_n of_o friend_n from_o all_o place_n in_o some_o place_n they_o have_v solemn_a sermon_n preach_v by_o divine_n of_o good_a note_n and_o also_o communion_n upon_o their_o feast_n day_n and_o in_o one_o place_n in_o this_o county_n the_o parish_n hold_v land_n by_o their_o feast_n and_o one_o minister_n who_o have_v be_v a_o great_a traveller_n have_v insert_v in_o his_o answer_n that_o in_o some_o reform_a church_n namely_o in_o switzerland_n these_o feast_n of_o dedication_n be_v observe_v i_o find_v also_o that_o the_o people_n general_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n have_v these_o feast_n take_v away_o for_o when_o the_o constable_n of_o some_o parish_n come_v from_o the_o assize_n about_o two_o year_n ago_o and_o tell_v their_o neighbour_n that_o the_o judge_n will_v put_v down_o these_o feast_n they_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v very_o hard_o if_o they_o can_v not_o entertain_v their_o kindred_n and_o friend_n once_o in_o a_o year_n to_o praise_n god_n for_o his_o blessing_n and_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o king_n majesty_n under_o who_o happy_a government_n they_o enjoy_v peace_n and_o quietness_n and_o they_o say_v they_o will_v endure_v the_o judge_n penalty_n father_n than_o they_o will_v break_v off_o their_o feast_n day_n it_o be_v find_v also_o true_a by_o experience_n that_o many_o suit_n in_o law_n have_v be_v take_v up_o at_o these_o feast_n by_o mediation_n of_o friend_n which_o can_v not_o have_v be_v so_o soon_o end_v in_o westminster_n hall_n moreover_o i_o find_v that_o the_o chief_a cause_n of_o the_o dislike_n of_o these_o feast_n among_o the_o preciser_n sort_n be_v becaose_v they_o be_v keep_v upon_o sunday_n which_o they_o never_o call_v but_o sabbath_n day_n upon_o which_o they_o will_v have_v no_o manner_n of_o recreation_n nay_o note_n neither_o rost_n nor_o sod_a and_o some_o of_o the_o minister_n who_o be_v with_o i_o have_v ingenuous_o confess_v that_o if_o the_o people_n shall_v not_o have_v their_o honest_a and_o lawful_a recreation_n upon_o sunday_n after_o evening_n prayer_n they_o will_v go_v either_o into_o tipple_a house_n and_o there_o upon_o their_o alebenche_n talk_v of_o matter_n of_o the_o church_n or_o state_n or_o else_o into_o conventicle_n concern_v church-ale_n i_o find_v that_o in_o

be_v very_o few_o of_o they_o leave_v but_o yet_o i_o find_v that_o by_o church-ale_n heretofore_o many_o poor_a parish_n have_v cast_v their_o bell_n repair_v their_o tower_n beautify_v their_o
