our_o saviour_n foot_n with_o a_o pound_n of_o spikenard_n which_o say_v the_o text_n be_v very_o costly_a judas_n cry_v out_o of_o a_o waist_n tell_v they_o that_o the_o ointment_n may_v have_v be_v

this_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a outside_n a_o mere_a pretence_n and_o that_o covetousness_n be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o his_o mutter_n against_o it_o for_o this_o he_o say_v say_v st._n john_n not_o that_o he_o care_v for_o the_o poor_a but_o because_o he_o be_v a_o thief_n and_o have_v the_o bag_n and_o bare_a what_o be_v put_v therein_o john_n 12.6_o and_o so_o too_o we_o have_v a_o great_a

what_o be_v common_o pretend_v it_o will_v be_v worth_a a_o while_n therefore_o to_o search_v a_o little_a into_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o our_o division_n because_o we_o shall_v thereby_o discover_v

what_o they_o be_v strong_o opinionate_a to_o be_v good_a and_o holy_a if_o therefore_o this_o church_n in_o its_o first_o reformation_n and_o from_o whence_o she_o have_v never_o deviate_v save_v

john_n 15.19_o and_o so_o may_v we_o argue_v much_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n here_o if_o this_o church_n be_v any_o way_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v rather_o love_v then_o hate_v it_o but_o because_o this_o church_n be_v not_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n therefore_o do_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n so_o great_o hate_v it_o this_o very_a

that_o first_o objection_n which_o be_v so_o common_o make_v against_o it_o viz_o it_o be_v too_o near_a compliance_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o its_o superstition_n again_o second_o their_o second_o objection_n be_v this_o that_o this_o church_n command_v and_o enjoin_v those_o ceremony_n in_o her_o worship_n and_o service_n which_o be_v not_o where_o command_v by_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v mere_o will-worship_n which_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o can_v be_v comply_v with_o without_o sin_n before_o i_o can_v return_v any_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n i_o must_v take_v it_o in_o piece_n and_o show_v what_o it_o be_v we_o own_o and_o what_o we_o utter_o disow_v and_o deny_v that_o this_o church_n do_v enjoin_v some_o ceremony_n in_o her_o service_n which_o god_n have_v no_o where_o particular_o and_o precise_o command_v that_o we_o own_o but_o that_o she_o be_v therefore_o guilty_a of_o that_o will-worship_n which_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o apostle_n that_o we_o deny_v but_o why_o i_o wonder_v shall_v they_o lay_v so_o great_a stress_n upon_o this_o objection_n as_o they_o common_o do_v what_o can_v be_v more_o easy_o answer_v what_o though_o god_n have_v not_o particular_o and_o precise_o command_v such_o ceremony_n what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o their_o purpose_n since_o he_o have_v command_v by_o his_o

as_o tend_v mere_o to_o the_o preservation_n of_o decency_n and_o order_n what_o fault_n can_v any_o man_n just_o find_v with_o she_o for_o it_o it_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a to_o perform_v
