preach_v on_o that_o day_n how_o many_o minister_n have_v be_v upbraid_v with_o it_o even_o at_o visitation_n it_o be_v the_o opinion_n or_o many_o learned_a man_n that_o the_o observation_n of_o this_o day_n be_v of_o divine_a institution_n which_o make_v it_o at_o least_o probable_a and_o therefore_o how_o unseemly_a be_v it_o in_o we_o who_o be_v a_o reform_a church_n so_o much_o to_o discountenance_v the_o observation_n of_o this_o day_n as_o if_o we_o be_v afraid_a of_o be_v too_o religious_a when_o at_o the_o same_o time_n we_o exact_v the_o strict_a observation_n of_o some_o other_o day_n acknowledge_v on_o all_o hand_n to_o be_v pure_o of_o humane_a institution_n these_o and_o many_o other_o thing_n in_o practice_n with_o we_o be_v so_o like_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o it_o seem_v mere_a obstinacy_n in_o we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o the_o same_o with_o they_o and_o certain_o all_o standard_n by_o that_o have_v observe_v for_o these_o twenty_o six_o year_n past_o what_o we_o have_v preach_v and_o practise_v have_v think_v we_o that_o way_n bend_v but_o they_o be_v quite_o mistake_v i_o perceive_v we_o be_v for_o a_o popery_n of_o our_o own_o a_o yoke_n of_o our_o own_o make_v that_o we_o will_v have_v the_o slavish_a laity_n to_o wear_v and_o and_o it_o be_v for_o this_o that_o we_o have_v procure_v to_o be_v make_v and_o excecute_v those_o penal_a law_n which_o now_o the_o world_n too_o early_o for_o our_o purpose_n do_v see_v through_o and_o to_o this_o end_n we_o have_v preach_v up_o and_o teach_v that_o wholesome_a doctrine_n of_o prayer_n and_o tear_n by_o other_o to_o be_v practise_v not_o ourselves_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o i_o i_o must_v confess_v why_o we_o shall_v retain_v such_o semblance_n of_o popery_n and_o those_o so_o unaccountable_a and_o yet_o so_o eager_o oppose_v popery_n itself_o the_o ape_n the_o ugly_a creature_n much_o because_o most_o like_o the_o noble_a creature_n man._n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v our_o apish_a ceremony_n and_o superstition_n be_v so_o like_o those_o of_o rome_n that_o they_o be_v the_o worse_a again_o and_o true_o if_o we_o must_v have_v so_o many_o ceremony_n in_o
