the_o first_o ten_o or_o eleven_o year_n of_o q_o elizabeth_n and_o that_o some_o of_o our_o own_o church_n be_v ready_a to_o run_v away_o and_o separate_v from_o we_o pretend_v we_o comply_v too_o much_o with_o rome_n in_o some_o of_o our_o form_n or_o ceremony_n if_o if_o shall_v please_v his_o most_o excellent_a majesty_n and_o the_o parliament_n to_o cause_v the_o liturgy_n to_o be_v revise_v and_o some_o great_a alteration_n to_o be_v make_v for_o the_o better_a than_o be_v of_o late_a it_o shall_v not_o offend_v but_o rather_o much_o rejoice_v the_o presbyterian_o i_o have_v read_v that_o the_o archbishop_n of_o armagh_n declare_v his_o judgement_n when_o time_n be_v against_o the_o introduce_v of_o the_o english_a ceremony_n into_o the_o church_n of_o ireland_n and_o i_o have_v be_v tell_v that_o the_o right_a reverend_n the_o bishop_n of_o hereford_n that_o now_o be_v upon_o another_o occasion_n express_v his_o opinion_n to_o be_v that_o the_o further_a of_o we_o keep_v from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o better_a i_o may_v add_v this_o also_o which_o i_o have_v from_o a_o credible_a person_n present_o after_o it_o be_v speak_v that_o the_o late_a archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n be_v very_o willing_a to_o have_v have_v though_o a_o liturgy_n yet_o one_o that_o may_v not_o be_v so_o much_o displease_v or_o dissatisfactory_a as_o this_o be_v to_o many_o i_o confess_v there_o be_v some_o well-meaning_a people_n who_o forbear_v to_o use_v the_o name_n of_o altar_n priest_n christmas_n etc._n etc._n or_o to_o call_v festival_n day_n wherein_o the_o church_n of_o england_n commemorate_v the_o saint_n and_o bless_v god_n for_o their_o example_n by_o the_o name_n of_o those_o saint_n day_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o altogether_o without_o all_o excuse_n in_o this_o their_o scrupulosity_n if_o we_o consider_v what_o a_o bad_a use_n they_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n make_v of_o out_o keep_v and_o continue_v old_a word_n let_v we_o keep_v

the_o reformation_n never_o intend_v any_o adoration_n of_o the_o bread_n by_o our_o kneel_v in_o the_o act_n of_o receive_v and_o yet_o bishop_n hall_n say_v thus_o i_o have_v a_o dangerous_a

transubstantiation_n it_o must_v be_v confess_v further_o that_o among_o well-meaning_a people_n some_o there_o be_v though_o scarce_o any_o among_o the_o ministry_n who_o scruple_n the_o name_v the_o apostle_n and_o other_o saint_n whether_o real_a or_o imaginary_a by_o the_o name_n of_o saint_n and_o their_o plea_n may_v be_v they_o can_v see_v any_o sufficient_a reason_n set_v aside_o the_o

be_v true_o a_o saint_n and_o the_o lord_n anoint_v and_o the_o other_o canonize_v by_o the_o pope_n yet_o doubtless_o there_o be_v none_o so_o scrupulous_a among_o we_o but_o have_v as_o leave_v say_v st._n michael_n as_o st._n george_n as_o for_o the_o nonconformists-minister_n it_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o dr._n thomas_n goodwin_n as_o i_o be_o inform_v and_o be_v all_o along_o the_o

it_o impossible_a for_o a_o man_n without_o special_a warrant_n from_o god_n to_o sanctify_v so_o that_o the_o service_n perform_v unto_o god_n upon_o that_o day_n shall_v be_v more_o acceptable_a than_o on_o any_o other_o some_o think_v the_o abuse_n of_o those_o festival_n day_n be_v so_o great_a common_a and_o customary_a that_o if_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o parliament_n see_v good_a it_o will_v be_v better_o and_o more_o easy_a to_o abolish_v the_o observation_n of_o they_o than_o to_o take_v away_o the_o abuse_n which_o they_o think_v cleave_v to_o they_o like_o the_o leprosy_n in_o the_o wall_n of_o the_o house_n that_o these_o feast_n be_v of_o apostolical_a institution_n or_o observe_v by_o the_o apostle_n any_o except_a easter_n be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o pretend_v unto_o

be_v a_o matter_n most_o unnecessary_a and_o vain_a the_o old_a nonconform_a minister_n do_v use_v to_o take_v the_o opportunity_n of_o those_o day_n to_o preach_v in_o to_o the_o people_n some_o reform_a church_n have_v no_o saint_n day_n but_o only_o keep_v some_o few_o day_n holy_a in_o remembrance_n of_o our_o saviour_n or_o relate_v to_o the_o bless_a trinity_n so_o as_o i_o take_v it_o do_v the_o church_n of_o scotland_n even_o at_o this_o day_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o think_v the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v well_o justify_v by_o mr._n perkins_n from_o superstition_n in_o her_o observance_n of_o the_o festival_n day_n she_o observe_v i_o can_v assure_v you_o there_o be_v that_o can_v observe_v a_o day_n to_o give_v thanks_o for_o the_o victory_n of_o michael_n over_o the_o devil_n which_o neither_o do_v nor_o can_v nor_o will_v keep_v a_o day_n to_o give_v thanks_o for_o the_o victory_n of_o o._n c._n over_o the_o king_n at_o worcester_n or_o of_o lambert_n over_o sir_n george_n booth_n in_o cheshire_n as_o for_o occasional_a day_n of_o fast_v and_o humiliation_n they_o have_v not_o be_v so_o much_o scruple_v in_o the_o world_n by_o sober_a man_n nor_o may_v be_v so_o liable_a to_o exception_n or_o abuse_n as_o the_o state_v fast_n and_o feast_n may_v and_o i_o think_v usual_o they_o be_v mote_n strict_o observe_v as_o for_o the_o nonconformist_n private_a day_n which_o the_o author_n of_o the_o debate_n speak_v of_o if_o they_o keep_v they_o no_o better_o those_o that_o do_v keep_v they_o than_o many_o if_o not_o most_o do_v the_o ordinary_a
