in_o those_o prayer_n and_o passage_n or_o confession_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v innocent_a and_o honest_a thing_n in_o themselves_o and_o so_o acknowledge_v it_o be_v not_o a_o idolatrous_a

there_o have_v be_v a_o end_n between_o they_o so_o be_v the_o answer_n in_o this_o matter_n to_o return_v to_o our_o particular_a point_n of_o re-ordination_a we_o may_v consider_v a_o man_n may_v perhaps_o in_o the_o first_o place_n avoid_v the_o scandal_n by_o do_v it_o in_o private_a that_o none_o know_v of_o it_o if_o not_o so_o those_o that_o be_v capable_a to_o be_v scandalize_v in_o
