indeed_o liable_a to_o manifold_a and_o just_a exception_n 1._o the_o bishop_n here_o put_v that_o sense_n on_o his_o word_n that_o be_v not_o the_o plain_a and_o obvious_a meaning_n of_o '_o they_o their_o obvious_a sense_n be_v that_o there_o be_v as_o much_o scripture_n read_v in_o every_o parish-church_n in_o one_o lord's-day_n as_o in_o all_o the_o meeting_n in_o the_o north_n in_o a_o

through_o the_o kingdom_n and_o because_o without_o this_o sense_n his_o lordship_n word_n leave_v we_o whole_o in_o the_o dark_a how_o to_o judge_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o they_o when_o he_o never_o tell_v we_o whether_o by_o the_o establish_a church_n he_o mean_v all_o the_o parish_n church_n in_o the_o kingdom_n or_o only_o those_o in_o the_o north_n of_o ireland_n nor_o give_v we_o any_o

for_o 1._o he_o take_v a_o day_n viz._n the_o first_o of_o april_n in_o his_o computation_n on_o which_o there_o be_v several_a psalm_n extraordinary_a use_v for_o take_v the_o psalm_n one_o with_o

a_o just_a computation_n there_o remain_v only_o the_o five_o chapter_n a_o day_n and_o his_o computation_n be_v as_o much_o too_o scanty_a on_o the_o dissenter_n side_n for_o though_o i_o have_v

much_o below_o the_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v more_o usual_o a_o whole_a chapter_n read_v and_o in_o the_o meeting_n of_o his_o diocese_n none_o but_o one_o make_v any_o exception_n of_o the_o

why_o then_o will_v the_o bishop_n take_v no_o notice_n of_o this_o which_o will_v have_v bring_v this_o debate_n to_o a_o more_o fair_a and_o easy_a trial_n for_o what_o be_v read_v this_o way_n

allow_v between_o the_o portion_n read_v and_o the_o parallel_a text_n in_o the_o exposition_n a_o chapter_n and_o a_o half_a and_o if_o we_o compute_v two_o chapter_n more_o to_o each_o sermon_n there_o will_v be_v every_o lord's-day_n five_o chapter_n and_o a_o half_a read_v and_o i_o do_v not_o here_o mention_v what_o passage_n of_o scripture_n occur_v in_o catechise_v though_o those_o will_v amount_v to_o a_o very_a considerable_a portion_n if_o put_v together_o and_o for_o the_o psalm_n he_o have_v no_o more_o reason_n to_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o computation_n than_o i_o

of_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o to_o examine_v the_o bishop_n present_a computation_n if_o we_o allow_v he_o his_o eleven_o psalm_n that_o be_v use_v as_o form_n of_o thanksgiving_n i_o hope_v he_o

in_o 42_o parish-church_n the_o bishop_n compute_v with_o the_o 11_o psalm_n and_o all_o only_a 672_o chapter_n and_o if_o we_o shall_v add_v 42_o chapter_n more_o for_o their_o sermon_n for_o few_o
