the_o scripture_n the_o day_n of_o public_a sermon_n we_o do_v not_o think_v the_o common-prayer_n needful_a to_o be_v use_v lest_o we_o shall_v foster_v the_o people_n in_o superstition_n who_o

that_o the_o people_n convene_v to_o hear_v the_o scripture_n read_v and_o interpret_v that_o by_o frequent_a read_n and_o hear_v the_o gross_a ignorance_n of_o the_o people_n may_v be_v remove_v and_o we_o judge_v it_o most_o expedient_a that_o the_o scripture_n be_v read_v in_o order_n that_o be_v that_o some_o one_o book_n of_o the_o new_a and_o old_a testament_n be_v begin_v and_o follow_v

scripture_n to_o another_o whether_o it_o be_v in_o read_v or_o preach_v we_o account_v not_o so_o profitable_a for_o the_o church_n as_o the_o continual_a follow_v of_o one_o text._n the_o master_n
