revelation_n which_o he_o represent_v as_o little_o less_o than_o blasphemy_n now_o to_o put_v he_o out_o of_o his_o affright_n he_o must_v consider_v first_o that_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o holy_a scripture_n write_v by_o inspire_a man_n on_o purpose_n to_o be_v a_o perfect_a rule_n of_o faith_n and_o manner_n and_o certain_o deliver_v to_o we_o as_o the_o very_a word_n of_o

i_o note_v pag._n 19_o much_o evidence_n for_o liturgy_n can_v be_v expect_v and_o if_o we_o find_v some_o step_n make_v towards_o a_o liturgy_n invariable_o use_v thus_o early_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a as_o gift_n decrease_v the_o use_n of_o form_n in_o every_o age_n must_v proportionable_o increase_v my_o first_o proof_n be_v from_o josephus_n who_o say_v the_o essenes_n use_v early_a in_o

be_v in_o some_o form_n which_o the_o people_n repeat_v at_o church_n that_o be_v probable_o in_o the_o gloria_fw-la patri_fw-la because_o it_o still_o stand_v in_o that_o part_n of_o this_o hymn_n which_o the_o people_n say_v but_o it_o serve_v my_o purpose_n as_o well_o since_o it_o must_v be_v a_o form_n say_v by_o the_o people_n as_o if_o it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o any_o other_o hymn_n but_o he_o wonder_v that_o the_o african_n who_o belong_v to_o the_o latin_a church_n shall_v say_v the_o gloria_fw-la patri_fw-la in_o greek_a whereas_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v from_o tertullian_n that_o they_o say_v it_o in_o greek_a his_o argument_n be_v as_o good_a if_o they_o have_v say_v it_o in_o latin_a only_o the_o roman_n use_v many_o solemn_a form_n in_o greek_a both_o in_o their_o theatre_n and_o their_o temple_n and_o xiphiline_n set_v down_o this_o in_o greek_a so_o that_o probable_o tertullian_n refer_v to_o that_o passage_n in_o the_o historian_n and_o only_o mean_v it_o be_v use_v in_o greek_a in_o the_o theatre_n he_o may_v also_o read_v it_o in_o greek_a in_o clemens_n romanus_n and_o in_o irenaeus_n and_o so_o cite_v it_o in_o greek_a but_o that_o will_v no_o more_o prove_v the_o african_a service_n be_v in_o greek_a than_o that_o the_o roman_a or_o gallican_n church_n use_v to_o say_v it_o in_o greek_a in_o clemens_n or_o irenaeus_n time_n only_o from_o this_o and_o many_o other_o greek_a word_n leave_v uninterprete_v in_o tertullian_n and_o other_o african_a father_n we_o may_v be_v sure_a the_o african_a people_n know_v some_o greek_a especial_o short_a and_o
