there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n distinct_a from_o a_o liturgy_n for_o these_o several_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v prayer_n intercession_n give_v of_o thanks_o preface_n hymn_n and_o the_o like_a

therefore_o to_o be_v sure_a that_o canon_n be_v not_o all_o the_o rule_n the_o church_n have_v for_o this_o agreement_n and_o uniformity_n and_o for_o the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d it_o be_v
