A13216	Redde debitum. Or, A discourse in defence of three chiefe fatherhoods grounded upon a text dilated to the latitude of the fift Commandement; and is therfore grounded thereupon, because 'twas first intended for the pulpit, and should have beene concluded in one or two sermons, but is extended since to a larger tract; and written chiefely in confutation of all disobedient and factious kinde of people, who are enemies both to the Church and state.

of_o creation_n the_o memory_n of_o the_o first_o be_v obscure_v by_o the_o last_o and_o so_o the_o one_o be_v to_o give_v place_n unto_o the_o other_o as_o in_o a_o case_n not_o much_o unlike_o it_o

which_o last_o though_o unknown_a till_o nature_n be_v inform_v be_v now_o to_o be_v reckon_v as_o that_o principal_a portion_n of_o time_n which_o god_n require_v and_o so_o last_o of_o all_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o morality_n of_o the_o precept_n there_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o we_o pray_v to_o have_v the_o lord_n incline_v our_o heart_n to_o the_o keep_n of_o it_o for_o be_v strengthen_v by_o his_o assistance_n there_o will_v be_v care_n have_v that_o we_o decline_v not_o away_o from_o the_o observation_n thereof_o and_o whereas_o i_o former_o give_v notice_n that_o it_o be_v the_o
