some_o man_n in_o some_o case_n may_v be_v lawful_o use_v but_o this_o be_v that_o which_o i_o be_o not_o satisfy_v in_o that_o a_o certain_a number_n of_o man_n shall_v usurp_v a_o authority_n unto_o themselves_o to_o frame_v certain_a prayer_n and_o form_n of_o divine_a service_n and_o when_o that_o be_v do_v under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n to_o enjoin_v they_o upon_o all_o person_n in_o

of_o the_o church_n when_o the_o bishop_n or_o his_o chaplain_n shall_v frame_v they_o and_o other_o proceed_v from_o the_o private_a spirit_n of_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a man_n this_o

to_o substitute_v in_o their_o place_n and_o introduce_v a_o device_n of_o man_n this_o injunction_n of_o such_o form_n upon_o all_o man_n turn_n that_o which_o in_o the_o beginning_n necessity_n

in_o the_o injunction_n of_o that_o which_o be_v offer_v and_o i_o will_v not_o refuse_v to_o come_v to_o prayer_n for_o i_o take_v the_o sin_n then_o to_o be_v personal_a and_o to_o reside_v in_o
