popery_n shall_v enter_v for_o we_o know_v that_o papist_n leave_v that_o out_o of_o their_o decalogue_n there_o be_v a_o world_n more_o thing_n we_o must_v answer_v if_o you_o will_v keep_v image_n

image_n to_o be_v ornament_n to_o protestant_a church_n for_o there_o be_v a_o much_o old_a law_n make_v at_o mount_n sinai_n against_o it_o and_o therefore_o true_o in_o my_o simple_a judgement_n doctor_n and_o gentleman_n we_o ought_v to_o blame_v he_o that_o let_v up_o this_o image_n on_o the_o steeple_n and_o he_o that_o remove_v it_o to_o the_o commandment_n rather_o than_o he_o that_o pull_v it_o down_o and_o burn_v it_o pray_v what_o be_v the_o opinion_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n of_o image_n and_o what_o be_v your_o opinion_n of_o they_o in_o sober_a sadness_n be_v we_o not_o

it_o and_o now_o for_o any_o one_o of_o you_o to_o tell_v the_o world_n that_o you_o will_v prosecute_v i_o in_o the_o bishop_n court_n for_o destroy_v of_o such_o a_o filthy_a subbardly_a image_n

we_o there_o be_v a_o time_n for_o all_o thing_n and_o i_o believe_v i_o have_v do_v as_o well_o in_o pull_v it_o down_o as_o they_o in_o set_v it_o up_o and_o indeed_o as_o i_o ought_v to_o do_v when_o image_n become_v so_o public_o offensive_a as_o you_o know_v of_o late_a this_o have_v be_v and_o mere_o because_o mr._n sanders_n and_o not_o the_o doctor_n make_v so_o many_o reverend_a bow_n

that_o it_o be_v not_o against_o that_o act_n or_o that_o it_o be_v not_o st._n michael_n gentleman_n you_o all_o can_v but_o know_v what_o have_v give_v the_o occasion_n to_o indict_v we_o for_o

and_o when_o we_o have_v get_v saint_n michael_n up_o then_o in_o 77_o mr._n whitebread_n a_o kinsman_n of_o that_o father_n whitebread_n that_o be_v hang_v for_o the_o damnable_a popish_a plot_n he_o

enough_o to_o stand_v so_o in_o the_o inward_a side_n of_o the_o rail_n nay_o they_o say_v that_o the_o communion-table_n may_v by_o that_o very_a act_n stand_v in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n and_o then_o they_o say_v it_o will_v not_o look_v so_o like_o a_o altar_n they_o say_v that_o instead_o of_o the_o clean_a white_a linen_n of_o our_o mother_n church_n we_o show_v now_o nothing_o
