be_v not_o with_o draw_v from_o the_o liturgy_n for_o though_o the_o gift_n of_o preach_v be_v far_o above_o that_o of_o read_v yet_o the_o action_n of_o the_o liturgy_n be_v as_o high_a and_o holy_a

of_o the_o primitive_a church_n be_v anniversarie_n and_o but_o at_o set_v and_o certain_a time_n which_o show_v that_o the_o primitive_a church_n do_v not_o attribute_v so_o much_o to_o the_o
