and_o here_o see_v you_o will_v not_o prynt_v it_o i_o will_v answer_v your_o chief_n objection_n first_o than_o you_o grant_v that_o if_o i_o put_v difference_n between_o read_v upon_o the_o book_n and_o that_o which_o he_o have_v learn_v out_o of_o the_o book_n i_o argument_n to_o sound_v for_o by_o your_o own_o confession_n god_n have_v not_o give_v any_o commandment_n to_o read_v prayer_n

here_o have_v grant_v namely_o that_o there_o be_v no_o commandment_n to_o read_v prayer_n upon_o a_o book_n for_o pray_v of_o the_o contrary_a thus_o you_o reason_n the_o people_n of_o god_n do_v read_v the_o psalm_n upon_o a_o book_n whe●_n they_o do_v singe_v therefore_o man_n may_v read_v upon_o a_o book_n when_o they_o pray_v i_o deny_v your_o argument_n beside_o that_o all_o man_n may_v
