we_o must_v no_o more_o use_v bread_n and_o wine_n and_o water_n those_o necessary_a thing_n either_o in_o or_o out_o of_o the_o sacrament_n the_o instance_n of_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n come_v not_o

of_o prayer_n and_o rule_v or_o touchstone_n of_o prayer_n as_o this_o extant_a in_o all_o the_o scripture_n and_o last_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o hold_v he_o guiltless_a who_o shall_v blot_v this_o

shall_v pray_v the_o lord_n prayer_n to_o this_o my_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o scripture_n have_v leave_v this_o undetermined_a as_o also_o how_o oft_o we_o be_v to_o read_v the_o sixth_o chapter_n of_o the_o gospel_n write_v by_o the_o evangelist_n matthew_n and_o this_o eleven_o chapter_n of_o the_o gospel_n according_a to_o the_o evangelist_n luke_n or_o any_o

any_o other_o psalm_n i_o find_v these_o thing_n leave_v to_o christian_a prudence_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v still_o leave_v they_o not_o be_v willing_a to_o bind_v man_n conscience_n wherein_o god_n have_v leave_v we_o free_a as_o for_o this_o i_o know_v of_o no_o commandment_n from_o the_o lord_n but_o herein_o i_o give_v my_o advice_n desire_v and_o pray_v for_o that_o mercy_n
