once_o which_o may_v warp_v towards_o popery_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o preach_v it_o uncontrolled_a be_v not_o only_o question_v for_o it_o but_o sentence_v to_o a_o recantation_n before_o the_o king_n

that_o before_o for_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o no_o bishop_n in_o the_o time_n he_o speak_v of_o do_v either_o command_n the_o erect_n of_o fix_a altar_n or_o the_o bow_n or_o cringe_v towards_o

without_o far_a trouble_n but_o because_o the_o place_n of_o the_o communion_n table_n altarwise_a do_v carry_v some_o resemblance_n to_o the_o altar_n use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o that_o some_o such_o thing_n be_v do_v in_o some_o church_n much_o about_o this_o time_n i_o shall_v here_o show_v upon_o what_o reason_n it_o be_v do_v and_o how_o far_o they_o that_o do_v it_o may_v be_v justify_v in_o it_o the_o reader_n therefore_o be_v to_o know_v that_o by_o the_o late_a neglect_n of_o decency_n and_o good_a order_n in_o most_o parish_n church_n of_o this_o land_n the_o communion_n table_n have_v be_v very_o much_o profane_v by_o sit_v on_o it_o scribble_a and_o cast_v hat_n upon_o it_o in_o sermon-time_n at_o other_o time_n by_o pass_v the_o parish_n account_n and_o dispute_v business_n of_o like_a nature_n to_o the_o great_a scandal_n and_o dishonour_n of_o our_o religion_n for_o remedy_n and_o redress_v whereof_o it_o seem_v good_a unto_o some_o bishop_n and_o other_o ordinary_n out_o of_o a_o pious_a zeal_n to_o the_o church_n honour_n and_o for_o the_o more_o reverend_a administration_n of_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n to_o g●…ve_v way_n that_o the_o
