word_n in_o any_o place_n and_o my_o reason_n be_v these_o first_o because_o the_o proclamation_n say_v that_o his_o majesty_n propound_v the_o example_n of_o pious_a king_n in_o former_a age_n for_o his_o precedent_n in_o this_o fast_a who_o ever_o in_o all_o former_a age_n not_o only_o not_o restrain_v but_o likewise_o allow_v prescribe_a and_o commend_v preach_v as_o a_o principal_a and_o

prescribe_v three_o because_o the_o proclamation_n relate_v that_o his_o majesty_n resolve_v upon_o a_o grave_n and_o religious_a form_n of_o solemnize_n thereof_o strait_o charge_v and_o command_v that_o this_o fast_o be_v religious_o and_o solemn_o observe_v and_o celebrate_v weekly_o upon_o every_o wednesday_n throughout_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n and_o therefore_o never_o intend_v as_o i_o

or_o not_o yea_o notwithstanding_o the_o infection_n be_v then_o far_o great_a and_o the_o summer_n season_n far_o more_o dangerous_a five_o because_o in_o all_o public_a and_o general_a fast_n both_o in_o his_o majesty_n own_o reign_n his_o late_a royal_a father_n q._n elizabeth_n and_o other_o his_o royal_a progenitor_n upon_o this_o or_o any_o other_o the_o like_a occasion_n preach_v in_o all_o place_n without_o restraint_n both_o fore-noove_a and_o afternoon_n have_v be_v approve_v and_o never_o prohibit_v but_o enjoin_v and_o command_v now_o his_o majesty_n have_v often_o solnen_o

thing_n whereby_o any_o innovation_n in_o the_o least_o degree_n may_v creep_v into_o our_o church_n and_o therefore_o i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o his_o majesty_n never_o intend_v to_o authorise_v to_o give_v way_n to_o such_o a_o innovation_n as_o this_o to_o inhibit_v preach_v and_o that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o a_o public_a fast_o contrary_a to_o all_o former_a precedent_n therefore_o i_o very_o believe_v that_o this_o be_v a_o mere_a devise_n of_o the_o prelate_n by_o who_o advice_n the_o proclamation_n say_v his_o majesty_n resolve_v upon_o a_o grave_n and_o religious_a form_n of_o solemnize_n a_o fast._n so_o as_o this_o of_o prohibit_v preach_v be_v rather_o add_v by_o they_o than_o admit_v by_o his_o majesty_n see_v it_o be_v as_o i_o humble_o conceive_v neither_o a_o grave_n nor_o religious_a form_n of_o solemnize_n a_o fast_a and_o i_o have_v rather_o die_v than_o conceive_v such_o a_o opinion_n of_o my_o king_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o author_n of_o such_o a_o

to_o take_v off_o this_o restraint_n and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o not_o only_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o all_o precedent_n in_o former_a age_n and_o such_o a_o innovation_n as_o i_o believe_v the_o like_a be_v never_o hear_v nor_o read_v of_o in_o the_o world_n but_o also_o because_o it_o much_o damp_n and_o deaden_n the_o heart_n and_o spirit_n of_o the_o king_n love_v and_o faithful_a subject_n within_o the_o city_n who_o much_o lament_n and_o grieve_v that_o in_o the_o fast-day_n they_o be_v restrain_v of_o the_o spiritual_a food_n of_o their_o soul_n when_o
