prelatical_a church_n the_o rich_a congregation_n worship_v with_o abundance_n of_o pomp_n while_o the_o poverty_n of_o other_o oblige_v they_o to_o a_o like_a simplicity_n with_o the_o dissenter_n

as_o indispensable_o necessary_a nay_o so_o obnoxious_a be_v the_o prelatical_a church_n on_o the_o account_n of_o separation_n that_o great_a number_n of_o those_o who_o join_v with_o they_o have_v as_o mean_v a_o opinion_n of_o their_o ceremony_n and_o in_o their_o judgement_n and_o affection_n separate_v as_o much_o from_o they_o as_o the_o dissenter_n have_v nothing_o that_o engage_v they_o
