do_v hate_v he_o we_o read_v that_o pharaoh_n cry_v against_o the_o israelite_n as_o appear_v in_o exod._n 5.8_o give_v they_o no_o more_o straw_n but_o let_v they_o gather_v it_o themselves_o and_o get_v it_o where_o they_o can_v and_o yet_o we_o will_v have_v our_o whole_a tale_n of_o brick_n and_o why_o so_o for_o they_o be_v idle_a and_o cry_v let_v we_o go_v three_o day_n journey_n into_o the_o wilderness_n and_o offer_v sacrifice_n unto_o god_n so_o play_v many_o with_o we_o for_o they_o cry_v let_v our_o pastor_n and_o preacher_n have_v no_o more_o liberty_n give_v they_o let_v they_o gather_v their_o straw_n themselves_o that_o be_v let_v they_o preach_v as_o much_o as_o they_o will_v for_o they_o account_v of_o preach_v but_o as_o offstraw_n but_o in_o the_o meave_n time_n we_o will_v have_v our_o whole_a tale_n of_o brick_n that_o be_v all_o our_o old_a custom_n and_o ceremony_n keep_v whatsoever_o they_o be_v and_o albeit_o we_o have_v no_o law_n for_o they_o yet_o

they_o they_o never_o leave_v call_v to_o church_n and_o to_o the_o sermon_n every_o day_n and_o there_o we_o must_v be_v reproove_v for_o every_o fault_n and_o this_o diet_n be_v not_o for_o our_o

contempt_n and_o neglect_n of_o god_n minister_n may_v be_v banish_v from_o among_o we_o for_o although_o in_o respect_n of_o humane_a infirmity_n they_o be_v but_o as_o other_o man_n be_v although_o the_o messenger_n of_o satan_n be_v send_v to_o buffet_v they_o and_o though_o there_o be_v a_o law_n in_o their_o member_n rebel_a against_o the_o law_n of_o their_o mind_n whereby_o many_o time_n

so_o much_o for_o the_o dignity_n of_o god_n minister_n their_o authority_n be_v great_a duty_n of_o their_o duty_n honourable_a be_v their_o office_n and_o great_a be_v their_o dignity_n their_o
