that_o in_o the_o primitive_a church_n the_o minister_n be_v not_o tie_v to_o any_o form_n of_o prayer_n invent_v by_o man_n and_o that_o my_o l._n of_o canterbury_n refute_v this_o error_n he_o go_v

that_o he_o will_v reply_n will_v in_o the_o end_n of_o his_o first_o reply_n have_v all_o apostolical_a order_n now_o receive_v and_o use_v beside_o that_o his_o continual_a practice_n be_v to_o

to_o commend_v extemporal_a form_n and_o to_o dislike_v prescript_n form_n that_o i_o wonder_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o m._n cartwright_n shall_v here_o maintain_v the_o contrary_n but_o let_v we_o see_v his_o reason_n first_o say_v he_o my_o continual_a say_v continual_a a_o weak_a reason_n for_o his_o practice_n be_v not_o always_o according_a to_o his_o opinion_n and_o doctrine_n he_o be_v wont_a to_o speak_v against_o dispensation_n and_o non_fw-fr residence_n and_o yet_o now_o be_v none_o resident_a from_o his_o charge_n and_o pray_v to_o be_v dispense_v with_o as_o they_o

the_o lord_n prayer_n yet_o in_o that_o sort_n it_o be_v not_o to_o he_o prescribe_v as_o he_o say_v it_o i_o beseech_v you_o therefore_o judge_v what_o a_o heinous_a slander_n this_o be_v to_o say_v that_o m._n cartwright_n scarce_o can_v be_v induce_v when_o time_n be_v to_o like_v of_o a_o prescript_n form_n of_o prayer_n when_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o show_v that_o either_o by_o doctrine_n

but_o before_o we_o begin_v a_o word_n or_o two_o concern_v that_o wrong_n that_o m._n cartwright_n think_v to_o be_v do_v to_o he_o be_v charge_v as_o he_o say_v with_o odious_a rail_n which_o yet_o i_o trust_v he_o will_v not_o count_v slander_n both_o for_o that_o it_o be_v leave_v out_o of_o his_o division_n and_o for_o that_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a and_o true_a that_o he_o rail_v

thereby_o near_o touch_v in_o that_o kind_n and_o sound_v themselves_o unable_a to_o answer_v in_o that_o kind_n matth._n sutcliffe_n m._n cartwright_n will_v accuse_v i_o of_o want_n of_o christian_n
