i_o believe_v in_o this_o we_o be_v a_o singular_a church_n there_o be_v no_o other_o that_o i_o ever_o hear_v or_o read_v of_o that_o have_v not_o enjoin_v her_o congregation_n to_o sing_v some_o

of_o his_o duty_n to_o god_n by_o some_o notable_a and_o special_a signification_n whereby_o he_o may_v be_v edify_v but_o they_o have_v never_o find_v any_o such_o aptness_n in_o it_o to_o stir_v

of_o it_o they_o have_v be_v loath_a to_o give_v i_o any_o answer_n but_o what_o move_v on_o the_o latitudinarian_a hinge_n one_o indeed_o tell_v i_o he_o do_v very_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o

to_o be_v as_o dull_a in_o the_o pulpit_n as_o in_o the_o desk_n and_o the_o church_n as_o much_o require_v they_o to_o use_v the_o surplice_n at_o all_o time_n of_o their_o ministration_n as_o at_o
