comprehend_v so_o all_o the_o matter_n that_o even_o at_o the_o first_o i_o conceyve_v no_o small_a joy_n of_o your_o singular_a and_o earnest_a study_n in_o that_o you_o put_v your_o endeavour_n that_o christ_n his_o religion_n may_v be_v bring_v again_o unto_o a_o chaste_a and_o simple_a purity_n for_o what_o shall_v be_v more_o desire_v of_o all_o godly_a heart_n then_o that_o all_o thing_n

they_o of_o argentine_n have_v use_v ever_o from_o the_o time_n that_o they_o reform_v their_o church_n where_o diversity_n of_o apparel_n in_o church_n ministration_n be_v abolysh_v for_o i_o have_v

follow_v the_o example_n of_o the_o church_n when_o it_o be_v in_o best_a case_n and_o state_n part_o for_o that_o i_o perceyve_v that_o those_o that_o be_v give_v to_o papistry_n do_v go_v about_o

notwithstanding_o yet_o the_o consideration_n of_o these_o matter_n do_v not_o so_o far_o carry_v i_o nor_o the_o reason_n allege_v by_o you_o so_o persuade_v i_o that_o i_o shall_v affirm_v the_o use_n of_o such_o vesture_n to_o be_v pernicious_a or_o of_o their_o own_o nature_n contrary_a to_o god_n word_n for_o i_o do_v utter_o think_v it_o to_o be_v a_o thing_n indifferent_a and_o i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o such_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o indifferent_a thing_n that_o at_o one_o time_n they_o may_v be_v use_v and_o at_o another_o time_n refuse_v to_o eat_v that_o be_v strangle_v of_o itself_o be_v a_o indifferent_a thing_n yet_o it_o be_v meet_v sometime_o to_o refrain_v from_o the_o use_n thereof_o and_o sometime_o to_o use_v it_o most_o free_o and_o in_o this_o respect_n though_o i_o have_v say_v this_o diversity_n of_o church_n apparel_n be_v not_o to_o be_v retain_v nevertheless_o it_o to_o be_v wicked_a i_o never_o so_o judge_v that_o i_o dare_v therefore_o

choice_n as_o yet_o be_v reserve_v for_o although_o as_o i_o say_v i_o do_v very_o little_o allow_v it_o nevertheless_o i_o see_v sometime_o in_o these_o indifferent_a thing_n that_o some_o of_o they_o although_o they_o be_v grievous_a &_o burdenous_a in_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o do_v otherwise_o must_v be_v patient_o suffer_v leave_v if_o man_n shall_v stryve_v for_o they_o more_o bytter_o than_o it_o need_v that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o let_v to_o the_o advauncement_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o also_o that_o those_o thing_n which_o of_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v

discommodity_n for_o if_o we_o can_v be_v content_a to_o suffer_v the_o gospel_n first_o to_o be_v spread_v and_o deep_o to_o take_v root_n without_o all_o doubt_n man_n will_v better_v and_o

instruct_v and_o confirm_v in_o the_o chief_a and_o most_o necessary_a point_n of_o religion_n then_o afterward_o by_o my_o judgement_n the_o church_n shall_v not_o be_v much_o offend_v to_o have_v these_o thing_n somewhat_o superfluous_a to_o be_v remove_v but_o now_o where_o as_o alteration_n in_o the_o most_o necessary_a point_n of_o religion_n be_v labour_v for_o and_o that_o with_o so_o much_o difficulty_n if_o now_o we_o pronounce_v those_o thing_n to_o be_v wicked_a that_o be_v of_o themselves_o indifferent_a so_o much_o will_v the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n mind_n be_v alienate_v

very_a necessary_a matter_n sure_o england_n be_v much_o bind_v unto_o you_o in_o that_o you_o have_v labour_v more_o than_o a_o great_a sort_n have_v in_o preach_v and_o teach_v likewise_o in_o

therefore_o take_v heed_n leave_v you_o stand_v sit_v your_o own_o way_n contend_v to_o bytter_o and_o all_o out_o of_o time_n yet_o will_v i_o not_o have_v you_o hereby_o gather_v that_o my_o mind_n be_v that_o a_o minister_n of_o god_n word_n shall_v never_o contend_v for_o the_o mayntenaunce_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o principle_n of_o scripture_n i_o make_v no_o such_o assertion_n who_o daily_o aswell_o in_o public_a as_o in_o private_a disputation_n in_o weighty_a controversy_n do_v take_v a_o part_n against_o the_o adversary_n for_o true_a religion_n but_o this_o i_o say_v we_o must_v

and_o blame_v to_o bytter_o innumerable_a which_o a_o great_a while_n agoo_o be_v count_v worthy_a of_o all_o praise_n neither_o be_o i_o ignorant_a that_o the_o authority_n of_o church_n that_o be_v
