too_o low_o they_o know_v not_o the_o true_a pedigree_n of_o our_o common-prayer_n which_o be_v old_a by_o many_o day_n than_o popery_n itself_o and_o be_v bear_v before_o that_o schism_n come_v in_o

so_o we_o by_o look_v on_o their_o liturgy_n see_v our_o way_n the_o better_a by_o their_o darkness_n to_o arrive_v at_o last_o at_o the_o primitive_a form_n of_o service_n so_o that_o i_o may_v say_v of_o our_o reformer_n and_o composer_n of_o this_o work_n 42.15_o gen._n 42.15_o as_o joseph_n brethren_n plead_v for_o their_o honesty_n thy_o servant_n be_v no_o spy_n hereby_o it_o shall_v be_v

when_o i_o see_v our_o prayer_n fill_v with_o scripture_n saint_n ambrose_n athanasius_n chrysostome_n the_o apostle_n and_o nicene_n father_n i_o can_v be_v so_o dull_a but_o believe_v that_o it_o
