administer_v according_a to_o our_o bless_a saviour_n own_o institution_n we_o worship_v god_n viz._n the_o one_o divine_a essence_n and_o trinity_n of_o person_n in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n in_o and_o through_o christ_n without_o the_o mediation_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n we_o hope_v for_o and_o believe_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n alone_o through_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o upon_o the_o condition_n of_o a_o sincere_a and_o unseigned_a repentance_n which_o repentance_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o church_n imply_v a_o true_a sight_n and_o confession_n of_o hearty_a arrow_n for_o and_o the_o hatred_n and_o forsake_v of_o all_o our_o former_a sin_n with_o a_o steadfast_a resolution_n never_o to_o return_v to_o they_o again_o with_o any_o consent_n delight_n or_o approbation_n and_o the_o use_n of_o all_o possible_a endeavour_n to_o put_v these_o resolution_n in_o practice_n even_o to_o our_o life_n end_v so_o that_o if_o we_o shall_v at_o any_o time_n fall_v into_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o least_o sin_n or_o the_o neglect_n of_o any_o duty_n either_o wilful_o or_o by_o infirmity_n and_o surprise_v we_o do_v again_o serious_o and_o solemn_o renew_v our_o repentance_n and_o be_v never_o at_o peace_n with_o ourselves_o and_o in_o our_o conscience_n till_o we_o be_v again_o reconcile_v unto_o god_n or_o our_o neighbour_n who_o we_o have_v offend_v and_o this_o we_o do_v as_o well_o after_o as_o before_o our_o conversion_n not_o dare_v to_o continue_v in_o any_o one_o sin_n unrepented_a of_o unreformed_a when_o we_o have_v thus_o renounce_v and_o abandon_v sin_n the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n as_o our_o deadly_a enemy_n we_o think_v ourselves_o further_o

to_o perform_v all_o and_o every_o one_o of_o these_o duty_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n without_o partiality_n without_o hypocrisy_n this_o be_v a_o short_a specimen_fw-la of_o the_o doctrine_n

so_o second_o our_o worship_n and_o discipline_n be_v true_o ancient_a and_o apostolical_a for_o there_o be_v not_o one_o single_a passage_n in_o our_o liturgy_n and_o church_n service_n and_o

will_v also_o see_v the_o conformity_n of_o our_o church_n of_o england_n man_n since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reformation_n to_o the_o primitive_a pattern_n and_o when_o you_o have_v thus_o make_v

the_o practice_n of_o the_o pretend_a catholic_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n whereby_o it_o will_v evident_o appear_v that_o popery_n if_o right_o understand_v be_v no_o such_o beautiful_a and_o charm_a object_n as_o to_o allure_v any_o man_n of_o reason_n and_o conscience_n to_o fall_v in_o love_n with_o it_o and_o first_o for_o the_o principle_n of_o popery_n and_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o call_v they_o so_o because_o they_o be_v so_o esteem_v and_o account_v by_o their_o own_o church_n for_o since_o their_o council_n of_o trent_n no_o man_n can_v proper_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o
