heretical_a so_o much_o as_o advise_v to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o common_a form_n and_o final_o under_o what_o restraint_n can_v any_o fancy_n the_o more_o discreet_a and_o learned_a to_o have_v be_v

for_o administer_a the_o sacrament_n the_o prayer_n especial_o use_v in_o their_o consecration_n be_v not_o prescribe_v nor_o the_o administrator_n thereof_o under_o any_o such_o restraint_n as_o

affirm_v that_o in_o the_o sacrament_n they_o be_v and_o be_v most_o necessary_a and_o be_v first_o there_o use_v and_o so_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o when_o they_o be_v not_o in_o use_n there_o they_o be_v not_o where_o use_v nor_o any_o where_o count_v needful_a and_o beside_o this_o discourse_n grow_v long_o and_o so_o may_v be_v tedious_a beyond_o what_o i_o expect_v or_o design_v i_o will_v therefore_o only_o add_v some_o few_o testimony_n which_o give_v evidence_n against_o such_o form_n in_o general_a and_o will_v reach_v the_o particular_n as_o therein_o involve_v ease_v
