when_o the_o name_n jesus_n be_v name_v i_o answer_v first_o we_o be_v to_o make_v the_o most_o charitables_n construction_n and_o such_o as_o be_v agreeable_a to_o truth_n of_o the_o word_n especial_o of_o our_o forefather_n as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v capable_a second_o suppose_v some_o one_o or_o two_o of_o they_o have_v any_o such_o meaning_n as_o so●●_n will_v pin_v upon_o they_o yet_o be_v it_o the_o duty_n of_o good_a child_n to_o cover_v their_o father_n naked_a meaning_n with_o the_o mantle_n of_o filial_a charity_n and_o of_o a_o favourable_a construction_n three_o howsoever_o some_o perhaps_o in_o their_o meaning_n suffer_v as_o man_n yet_o herein_o be_v they_o wise_a man_n in_o not_o express_v more_o in_o word_n than_o god_n word_n do_v warrant_v and_o in_o a_o word_n for_o my_o part_n i_o have_v a_o good_a hope_n that_o their_o meaning_n be_v no_o worse_a than_o their_o say_n but_o at_o length_n well_o to_o shut_v up_o all_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o what_o i_o have_v observe_v in_o those_o that_o be_v most_o superstitious_o observant_a of_o bow_v or_o doff_v at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n they_o be_v common_o ignorant_a or_o very_o profane_v person_n that_o with_o the_o jew_n will_v singe_v hosanna_n to_o jesus_n and_o cry_v crucify_v christ._n so_o these_o will_v deify_v jesus_n with_o their_o head_n and_o crucify_v he_o with_o their_o

they_o have_v do_v god_n good_a service_n when_o they_o thus_o honour_v this_o name_n iesus_n be_v mortal_a enemy_n to_o christ_n and_o

therefore_o we_o answer_v brief_o unto_o they_o 1._o first_o we_o dislike_v not_o simple_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o external_a reverence_n at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n for_o we_o condemn_v not_o the_o church_n of_o england_n much_o less_o the_o ancient_a and_o universal_a church_n in_o this_o behalf_n it_o be_v do_v upon_o good_a and_o sufficient_a knowledge_n without_o superstition_n and_o without_o opinion_n of_o necessity_n according_a to_o the_o purpose_n of_o the_o church_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o mr._n hooker_n lib._n 5_o 5_o 30._o confess_v in_o express_a word_n touch_v this_o

that_o the_o external_a act_n of_o reverence_n at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n have_v be_v usual_o practise_v in_o the_o time_n of_o divin_n service_n not_o whensoever_o man_n do_v stand_v &_o when_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o stand_v the_o name_n of_o jesus_n be_v sound_v forth_o for_o we_o do_v stand_v at_o the_o recitation_n of_o the_o cr●ed_n where_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o jesus_n with_o no_o bow_n of_o the_o knee_n but_o at_o the_o read_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o the_o canon_n must_v be_v understand_v peculiar_o of_o that_o custom_n when_o it_o require_v a_o reverence_n as_o it_o have_v be_v accustom_v if_o any_o ceremonialist_n will_v contend_v with_o i_o in_o this_o point_n let_v the_o same_o mr._n hooker_n in_o the_o same_o place_n be_v a_o arbitratour_n betwixt_o we_o to_o decide_v the_o controversy_n because_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v weekly_o read_v do_v all_o historical_o declare_v something_o which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v or_o suffer_v in_o his_o own_o person_n it_o have_v be_v the_o custom_n of_o christian_a man_n then_o especial_o in_o token_n of_o the_o great_a reverence_n to_o stand_v to_o utter_v certain_a word_n of_o acclamation_n glory_n be_v to_o thou_o o_o lord_n and_o at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n to_o bow_v it_o be_v therefore_o a_o custom_n ancient_o so_o to_o do_v but_o i_o find_v in_o antiquity_n no_o canon_n to_o establish_v it_o and_o very_o general_a custom_n be_v not_o sufficient_a in_o this_o behalf_n by_o the_o rule_n of_o s._n austin_n ep._n 118._o much_o less_o be_v it_o a_o matter_n of_o necessary_a observation_n by_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o to_o declare_v this_o point_n yet_o more_o plain_o zozomen_n hist._n eccl._n 7._o c._n 19_o

at_o the_o read_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o custom_n i_o have_v neither_o find_v nor_o read_v of_o in_o any_o other_o place_n so_o that_o leave_v the_o bishop_n of_o alexandria_n to_o their_o own_o reason_n herein_o and_o defence_n for_o this_o diversity_n of_o their_o practice_n contrary_a to_o the_o general_a action_n of_o the_o church_n i_o may_v conclude_v that_o neither_o the_o scripture_n bind_v any_o nor_o that_o the_o canon_n or_o custom_n bind_v all_o to_o the_o observation_n of_o this_o ceremonial_a act_n which_o the_o profound_a ceremonialist_n partly_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o partly_o by_o authority_n of_o the_o canon_n will_v enforce_v upon_o their_o brethren_n and_o this_o may_v suffice_v concern_v the_o cannon_n in_o this_o behalf_n but_o if_o i_o shall_v not_o offend_v they_o i_o can_v press_v they_o further_o with_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o ancient_a and_o very_a learned_a bishop_n well_o who_o be_v present_a at_o the_o make_n of_o this_o

in_o the_o balance_n of_o a_o true_a judgement_n and_o of_o a_o upright_a conscience_n 1._o first_o though_o i_o have_v often_o and_o curious_o note_v the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o principal_a author_n of_o this_o canon_n in_o time_n of_o divine_a service_n and_o especial_o in_o the_o read_n of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o i_o can_v never_o see_v they_o perform_v any_o external_a act_n of_o reverence_n

the_o ceremonialist_n will_v impose_v it_o upon_o they_o by_o a_o plain_a misconstruction_n of_o the_o scripture_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o willing_a by_o such_o a_o act_n of_o reverence_n to_o
