frame_v in_o qu._n elizabeth_n day_n the_o papist_n do_v for_o ten_o year_n together_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o her_o reign_n come_v to_o church_n with_o we_o and_o so_o continue_v till_o the_o pope_n

that_o it_o be_v no_o way_n unlawful_a by_o his_o own_o principle_n to_o a_o papist_n remain_v thus_o to_o come_v to_o our_o church_n and_o be_v present_a at_o our_o liturgy_n and_o if_o that_o be_v think_v a_o objection_n or_o reproach_n against_o we_o i_o shall_v then_o add_v not_o only_o to_o we_o but_o to_o that_o service_n which_o be_v perform_v according_a to_o the_o directory_n also_o the_o only_a difference_n be_v that_o if_o both_o by_o they_o be_v conceive_v lawful_a as_o by_o mistake_n i_o believe_v in_o they_o neither_o now_o be_v our_o liturgy_n will_v be_v more_o likely_a to_o attract_v they_o than_o the_o directory_n and_o this_o we_o conceive_v not_o such_o a_o fault_n as_o to_o offer_v any_o excuse_n for_o it_o for_o if_o s._n paul_n by_o be_v a_o jew_n to_o the_o

to_o gain_v the_o papist_n also_o for_o suppose_v this_o to_o be_v as_o you_o call_v it_o a_o compliance_n with_o they_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o more_o probable_a gain_v way_n then_o to_o denounce_v enmity_n to_o all_o who_o they_o ever_o converse_v with_o i_o mean_v to_o the_o primitive_a liturgy_n for_o no_o other_o crime_n but_o because_o they_o make_v use_v of_o they_o who_o be_v best_a diviner_n in_o this_o matter_n they_o or_o we_o experience_n may_v perhaps_o hereafter_o prove_v in_o the_o mean_a i_o can_v imagine_v but_o liturgy_n and_o moderation_n and_o charity_n may_v be_v

of_o any_o ceremony_n which_o have_v be_v obtrude_v or_o force_v on_o any_o which_o the_o law_n have_v not_o command_v or_o if_o there_o have_v this_o have_v be_v nothing_o to_o the_o liturgy_n nor_o consequent_o to_o be_v fetch_v in_o as_o a_o part_n of_o a_o charge_n against_o it_o that_o of_o bow_v at_o the_o entrance_n into_o the_o church_n be_v the_o most_o likely_a to_o be_v the_o ceremony_n here_o speak_v of_o and_o yet_o that_o be_v neither_o a_o new_a one_o never_o by_o any_o law_n or_o canen_n turn_v out_o at_o the_o reformation_n but_o only_o not_o then_o impose_v under_o any_o command_n and_o since_o disuse_v in_o some_o place_n nor_o yet_o be_v it_o late_o impose_v or_o obtrude_v on_o the_o church_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n in_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o last_o so_o hate_a convocation_n which_o alone_o can_v be_v say_v to_o deal_v with_o the_o church_n in_o this_o matter_n it_o be_v only_o recommend_v and_o explain_v and_o vindicate_v from_o all_o mistake_n and_o then_o the_o practice_n of_o use_v of_o it_o leave_v to_o every_o man_n liberty_n with_o the_o caution_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o they_o that_o use_v it_o shall_v not_o condemn_v they_o that_o use_v it_o not_o nor_o they_o that_o use_v it_o not_o judge_v they_o that_o use_v it_o 3._o that_o the_o warrantablenesse_n of_o impose_v the_o former_a ceremony_n be_v no_o mean_n or_o occasion_n of_o obtrude_a new_a daily_a but_o rather_o a_o hedge_n to_o keep_v off_o such_o obtrusion_n for_o when_o it_o be_v resolve_v by_o law_n that_o such_o ceremony_n shall_v be_v use_v it_o be_v the_o implicit_a intimation_n of_o that_o law_n that_o all_o other_o uncommand_v be_v leave_v free_a and_o that_o without_o authority_n as_o the_o word_n daily_a suppose_v the_o discourse_n here_o to_o mean_v no_o other_o can_v be_v obtrude_v for_o sure_a it_o be_v not_o the_o quality_n of_o law_n to_o steal_v in_o illegal_a pressure_n but_o to_o keep_v they_o out_o rather_o to_o define_v and_o limit_v our_o liberty_n not_o to_o enthrall_v we_o to_o set_v we_o bound_n and_o rule_n of_o life_n not_o to_o remove_v all_o such_o but_o then_o 4._o that_o it_o may_v appear_v of_o how_o many_o truth_n this_o period_n be_v compose_v every_o one_o of_o they_o with_o the_o help_n of_o one_o syllable_n a_o not_o set_v before_o the_o principal_a verb_n able_a to_o become_v such_o i_o shall_v add_v that_o the_o very_a obtrusion_n of_o such_o ceremony_n if_o they_o have_v be_v obtrude_v will_v never_o have_v encourage_v a_o rational_a papist_n to_o expect_v our_o return_n to_o they_o but_o only_o have_v signify_v that_o we_o mean_v by_o comply_v with_o they_o as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o leave_v they_o without_o excuse_n if_o they_o do_v not_o do_v so_o too_o comply_v with_o we_o in_o what_o they_o may_v and_o restore_v the_o peace_n and_o union_n of_o christendom_n by_o that_o mean_n this_o with_o any_o moderate_a papist_n will_v most_o probable_o work_v some_o good_a and_o for_o the_o more_o fiery_a jesuited_n i_o be_o confident_a none_o be_v ever_o more_o mortal_o hate_v by_o they_o than_o those_o who_o be_v favourer_n of_o the_o ceremony_n now_o mention_v and_o for_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o say_v you_o be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v that_o passage_n in_o rome_n masterpiece_n which_o you_o appoint_v to_o be_v set_v out_o wherein_o the_o king_n and_o the_o late_a archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n be_v by_o the_o popish_a contriver_n design_v to_o slaughter_n as_o person_n who_o they_o despair_v to_o gain_v to_o they_o but_o that_o any_o of_o the_o now_o

be_v so_o hire_v rather_o than_o dissolve_v too_o speedy_o sect_n 17_o 5._o in_o the_o next_o place_n it_o be_v find_v out_o by_o experience_n that_o the_o liturgy_n have_v be_v a_o great_a mean_n
