a_o stiff-necked_a stupid_a people_n now_o methinks_v our_o organical_a neighbour_n look_v as_o like_o a_o parcel_n of_o stubborn_a jew_n as_o one_o egg_n to_o another_o and_o some_o of_o they_o be_v as_o stiff-necked_a bigot_n as_o ever_o the_o jerusalem_n jew_n be_v when_o besiege_v by_o vespasian_n and_o as_o a_o evidence_n of_o their_o more_o than_o jewish_a bigotry_n they_o make_v idol_n of_o ceremony_n and_o have_v rather_o see_v the_o kingdom_n run_v down_o with_o protestant_a blood_n than_o part_n with_o the_o least_o hemm_n of_o a_o consecrate_a frock_n but_o they_o forward_a soul_n will_v step_v more_o than_o half_a way_n over_o the_o hedge_n to_o meet_v his_o holiness_n of_o rome_n but_o lest_o you_o shall_v think_v i_o be_o a_o little_a too_o uncharitable_a give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o i_o deliver_v not_o my_o own_o judgement_n but_o that_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n herself_o for_o she_o in_o her_o discourse_n of_o ceremony_n have_v this_o remarkable_a passage_n and_o whereas_o in_o this_o our_o time_n the_o mind_n of_o man_n be_v so_o diverse_a that_o some_o think_v it_o a_o great_a matter_n of_o conscience_n to_o depart_v from_o a_o piece_n of_o the_o least_o of_o their_o ceremony_n they_o be_v so_o addict_v to_o their_o old_a custom_n and_o that_o you_o have_v a_o pack_n of_o dull_a animal_n in_o the_o prelatical_a constitution_n you_o
