A82002	A sober and temperate discourse, concerning the interest of words in prayer, the just antiquity and pedigree of liturgies, or forms of prayer in churches : with a view of the state of the church, when they were first composed, or imposed. Together with a discovery of the weakness of the grounds upon which they were first brought in, or upon which Bishop Gawden hath lately discoursed, the necessity of a liturgie, or the inconveniency of altering the English liturgie, the utility of church musick, and the lawfulness of ceremonies : in which are mixed reasons justifying those godly ministers, who forbear the use of the Common-prayer, against the late out-cryes of the said bishop. / By H.D. M.A.	H. D. (Henry Dawbeny); Collinges, John, 1623-1690, attributed name.	1661 (1661)	Wing D449; Thomason E1086_14; ESTC R208152	100,305	119

we_o shall_v rejoice_v with_o equal_a joy_n but_o must_v it_o be_v in_o the_o same_o carnal_a manner_n too_o have_v we_o have_v any_o command_n of_o god_n as_o they_o have_v for_o any_o such_o

command_v it_o and_o it_o be_v to_o set_v up_o our_o post_n by_o god_n post_n and_o our_o threshold_n by_o his_o threshold_n this_o be_v enough_o but_o much_o more_o may_v be_v say_v and_o shall_v
