too_o much_o unto_o canonical_a hour_n as_o they_o call_v they_o in_o the_o public_a or_o private_a service_n of_o god_n as_o to_o say_v or_o sing_v mass_n at_o such_o hour_n as_o in_o the_o forenoon_n at_o the_o hour_n of_o nine_o and_o eleven_o to_o have_v angular_a mass_n whereof_o many_o in_o one_o church_n and_o in_o diverse_a corner_n of_o the_o same_o church_n at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o tie_v they_o in_o their_o private_a devotion_n to_o read_v or_o rather_o to_o run_v over_o the_o jesus_n psalter_n and_o other_o manual_a book_n heretofore_o altogether_o in_o the_o

here_o in_o england_n though_o not_o so_o in_o other_o country_n where_o the_o roman_a catholic_a religion_n as_o themselves_o call_v it_o only_o have_v use_v and_o force_v here_o more_o than_o elsewhere_o they_o be_v late_o tolerate_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o have_v some_o few_o prayer_n book_n both_o in_o latin_a and_o english_a but_o which_o of_o both_o they_o do_v most_o use_n themselves_o do_v best_o know_v and_o either_o they_o be_v so_o full_o farce_v and_o stuff_v with_o hymn_n short_a versicle_n some_o without_o conclusion_n of_o sense_n and_o in_o most_o the_o sentence_n so_o short_o and_o sudden_o set_v together_o the_o one_o leap_v so_o close_o upon_o the_o back_n of_o the_o other_o that_o hardly_o can_v they_o remember_v or_o scarce_o

aswell_o supply_v as_o the_o affection_n in_o performance_n of_o true_a religion_n herein_o be_v their_o excess_n join_v with_o defect_n excess_n of_o measure_n in_o heap_v many_o word_n not_o well_o weigh_v defect_n in_o the_o conception_n and_o knowledge_n of_o what_o they_o do_v deliver_v beside_o there_o be_v a_o exceed_a great_a error_n allow_v and_o teach_v in_o put_v they_o not_o only_o to_o pronounce_v those_o prayer_n so_o peece_v which_o must_v needs_o be_v over_o perfunctory_o thus_o speed_v but_o some_o nay_o many_a i_o may_v say_v most_o of_o their_o prayer_n be_v direct_v to_o the_o saint_n as_o intercessor_n whereof_o some_o be_v such_o as_o in_o their_o live●_n be_v scarce_o holy_a but_o so_o esteem_v and_o yet_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n deify_v only_o because_o they_o adhere_v to_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n namely_o among_o other_o thomas_n becket_n sometime_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n rebellious_a to_o his_o sovereign_n and_o so_o though_o evil_o slay_v therefore_o canonize_v prayer_n allow_v by_o public_a authority_n print_v and_o practise_v even_o in_o our_o time_n as_o desire_v god_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o this_o becket_n to_o make_v the_o poor_a

himself_o they_o calling_z on_o she_o to_o beseech_v god_n the_o father_n and_o to_o command_v god_n her_o son_n by_o the_o right_n of_o a_o mother_n which_o with_o many_o other_o most_o gross_a

they_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v and_o their_o learnede_a teacher_n will_v seem_v to_o defend_v or_o to_o excuse_v yet_o intelligent_a and_o pious_a man_n who_o be_v not_o seduce_v by_o jesuit_n and_o romish_a priest_n or_o so_o unhappy_a as_o to_o be_v breed_v up_o in_o their_o school_n of_o superstition_n may_v perceive_v though_o they_o will_v not_o confess_v that_o devotion_n without_o true_a understanding_n turn_v soon_o unto_o superstition_n that_o fervour_n without_o faith_n and_o belief_n without_o knowledge_n make_v many_o man_n err_v gross_o and_o offend_v most_o where_o they_o think_v they_o do_v best_a their_o book_n of_o meditation_n be_v in_o many_o part_n good_a to_o stir_v devotion_n but_o in_o some_o place_n patch_v with_o superstition_n if_o this_o cockle_n may_v be_v separate_v from_o their_o corn_n it_o will_v proovemore_n profitable_a for_o the_o protestant_n profession_n &_o practice_n of_o religion_n whereof_o i_o profess_v to_o be_v one_o if_o most_o protestant_n will_v be_v as_o fervent_a &_o as_o frequent_v in_o their_o prayer_n as_o many_o of_o they_o be_v intelligent_a in_o that_o they_o pray_v they_o shall_v more_o shun_v sin_n and_o shame_v the_o romanist_n who_o yet_o seem_v to_o shun_v they_o by_o be_v more_o devoute_a in_o that_o which_o they_o do_v less_o understand_v and_o be_v far_o more_o frequent_a in_o prayer_n and_o if_o there_o be_v more_o zeal_n join_v with_o conscience_n it_o will_v much_o adorn_v the_o profession_n &_o make_v it_o most_o excellent_a as_o it_o be_v in_o deed_n so_o will_v it_o be_v in_o estimation_n and_o effect_n but_o no_o profession_n can_v make_v man_n perfect_a the_o most_o perfection_n we_o have_v consist_v or_o be_v consummate_v in_o practice_n and_o action_n peace_n and_o prosperity_n which_o shall_v help_v do_v yet_o hinder_v devotion_n it_o beget_v pride_n and_o that_o engender_v presumption_n affliction_n give_v instruction_n gain_v humility_n guide_v the_o conscience_n and_o reform_v evil_a live_n witness_v nay_o many_o witness_n hereof_o be_v the_o persecution_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n when_o under_o the_o tyranny_n and_o bloody_a massacre_n of_o the_o christian_n by_o the_o heathen_a emperor_n prince_n and_o magistrate_n the_o christian_n life_n be_v shine_a light_n of_o sanctity_n their_o patient_a and_o constant_a suffering_n cause_n of_o conversion_n to_o many_o man_n who_o before_o know_v not_o god_n nor_o what_o godliness_n mean_v their_o sincerity_n and_o singleness_n of_o heart_n set_v up_o trophy_n for_o themselves_o and_o make_v they_o conqueror_n over_o their_o cruel_a and_o causeless_a enemy_n and_o i_o will_v i_o can_v not_o say_v in_o my_o own_o particular_a for_o my_o poor_a sinful_a self_n that_o when_o i_o enjoy_v the_o world_n as_o i_o do_v most_o wish_v i_o be_v ever_o then_o worst_a i_o will_v i_o can_v as_o well_o say_v that_o since_o adversity_n come_v i_o become_v better_a yet_o if_o any_o thing_n work_v in_o i_o or_o in_o other_o amendment_n it_o must_v be_v affliction_n and_o some_o adversity_n affliction_n in_o mind_n for_o sin_n and_o a_o touch_n of_o adversity_n for_o the_o same_o o_o
