much_o be_v acknowledge_v long_o ago_o by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o the_o 34th_o article_n which_o begin_v thus_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o tradition_n and_o ceremony_n be_v in_o

the_o same_o article_n end_v thus_o every_o particular_a or_o national_a church_n have_v authority_n to_o ordain_v change_n and_o abolish_v ceremony_n or_o rite_n of_o the_o church_n ordain_v only_o by_o man_n authority_n so_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v do_v to_o edify_v by_o this_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o ceremony_n long_v ago_o be_v look_v upon_o by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o mere_a

they_o think_v they_o indifferent_a if_o it_o be_v plead_v upon_o supposition_n of_o the_o indifferency_n of_o ceremony_n in_o themselves_o that_o the_o injunction_n of_o authority_n take_v away_o this_o indifferency_n and_o make_v the_o omission_n of_o they_o to_o become_v a_o sin_n according_a to_o this_o principle_n there_o still_o rest_v a_o power_n in_o authority_n to_o abolish_v they_o and_o withal_o i_o hope_v i_o may_v say_v without_o presumption_n it_o concern_v authority_n to_o be_v very_o cautelous_a how_o they_o make_v injunction_n that_o may_v occasion_v sin_n which_o will_v
