the_o first_o thing_n that_o i_o observe_v be_v scruple_v in_o king_n edward_n day_n be_v the_o wear_n by_o the_o minister_n that_o kind_a of_o apparel_n for_o form_n or_o fashion_n which_o the_o

account_v the_o wear_n of_o these_o garment_n indifferent_a but_o sinful_a and_o that_o for_o these_o two_o reason_n as_o be_v jewish_a and_o popish_a these_o say_v peter_z martyr_n be_v the_o chief_a

also_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n wherein_o there_o be_v so_o much_o say_v by_o these_o two_o reverend_n and_o moderate_a man_n that_o one_o will_v think_v shall_v have_v for_o

in_o london_n refuse_v to_o wear_v the_o apparel_n then_o prescribe_v for_o minister_n now_o i_o find_v in_o that_o declaration_n beside_o the_o aforesaid_a reason_n there_o be_v several_a general_a scripture_n to_o prove_v their_o unlawfulnesse_n as_o those_o scripture_n that_o forbid_v addition_n to_o god_n word_n that_o his_o fear_n be_v not_o to_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o precept_n of_o man_n
