when_o we_o fear_v the_o prevail_a of_o a_o religion_n that_o be_v compose_v of_o ceremony_n and_o superstition_n and_o consider_v the_o rather_o with_o yourself_o who_o first_o put_v you_o upon_o

press_v hard_a upon_o you_o for_o a_o strict_a observation_n and_o a_o due_a performance_n of_o a_o multitude_n of_o ceremony_n because_o he_o may_v perhaps_o think_v that_o god_n worship_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n consist_v as_o much_o in_o ceremony_n as_o it_o do_v so_o in_o the_o romish_a church_n but_o i_o hope_v you_o have_v not_o so_o learned_a christ_n and_o then_o you_o will_v be_v able_a to_o reply_v to_o that_o gentleman_n this_o other_o text_n viz._n god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o they_o that_o worship_v he_o must_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n joh._n

see_v it_o do_v at_o aldersgate_n before_o you_o print_v up_o the_o legality_n of_o it_o at_o barking_n or_o sandon_n thus_o it_o seem_v you_o have_v make_v division_n at_o sandon_n also_o and_o a_o
