still_o retain_v and_o defend_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v undoubted_o the_o old_a and_o the_o good_a way_n the_o truth_n be_v aerius_n be_v the_o first_o man_n that_o ever_o dare_v affirm_v that_o a_o bishop_n be_v not_o above_o a_o presbyter_n in_o power_n order_n and_o authority_n but_o he_o be_v count_v a_o mad_a man_n for_o his_o pain_n and_o be_v rank_v by_o the_o church_n in_o the_o black_a catalogue_n of_o heretic_n not_o only_o for_o his_o separation_n from_o the_o catholic_n bishop_n nor_o only_o for_o his_o condemn_v of_o catholic_n custom_n nor_o only_o for_o embrace_v the_o heretical_a sentiment_n of_o arius_n but_o also_o for_o affirm_v that_o presbyter_n be_v of_o equal_a power_n and_o authority_n with_o bishop_n and_o yet_o i_o much_o question_n whether_o he_o speak_v his_o free_a opinion_n or_o only_o say_v so_o out_o of_o envy_n and_o spite_n to_o eustathius_n for_o aerius_n will_v fain_o have_v be_v a_o bishop_n himself_o but_o eustathius_n stand_v in_o his_o way_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n he_o grow_v sullen_a dogged_a and_o envious_a and_o such_o man_n common_o vend_v some_o new_a opinion_n to_o be_v revenge_v for_o their_o disappointment_n and_o so_o do_v he_o this_o because_o he_o have_v not_o merit_n enough_o to_o advance_v himself_o from_o a_o presbyter_n to_o a_o bishop_n he_o have_v it_o seem_v impudence_n enough_o to_o degrade_v a_o bishop_n into_o a_o presbyter_n i_o will_v not_o make_v any_o untoward_a reflection_n upon_o those_o disciple_n of_o aerius_n who_o in_o these_o our_o day_n have_v great_o wound_v christianity_n by_o the_o same_o groundless_a and_o singular_a but_o confident_a assertion_n yet_o i_o think_v it_o be_v no_o uncharitableness_n to_o wish_v for_o the_o peace_n and_o interest_n of_o christendom_n that_o their_o talon_n be_v well_o pare_v who_o be_v not_o content_a to_o scratch_v and_o deface_v the_o wall_n of_o the_o church_n unless_o they_o undermine_v the_o very_a pillar_n of_o it_o too_o those_o ancient_a and_o strong_a pillar_n upon_o which_o the_o church_n have_v rest_v and_o by_o which_o religion_n have_v be_v uphold_v even_o from_o the_o beginning_n 2._o have_v say_v thus_o much_o touch_v the_o antiquity_n of_o our_o form_n of_o government_n i_o proceed_v now_o to_o that_o which_o be_v another_o most_o material_a part_n of_o our_o establishment_n that_o be_v the_o form_n of_o our_o service-book_n or_o liturgy_n concern_v which_o i_o will_v be_v bold_a to_o affirm_v and_o be_v bind_v to_o maintain_v against_o all_o party_n whatsoever_o that_o whosoever_o do_v either_o deprave_v or_o disesteem_n it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v either_o a_o very_a ignorant_a or_o a_o very_a naughty_a person_n very_o ignorant_a if_o he_o do_v not_o see_v that_o our_o service_n be_v so_o correspondent_a to_o that_o of_o the_o ancient_a church_n that_o no_o church_n in_o christendom_n this_o day_n can_v show_v a_o more_o lively_a monument_n of_o antiquity_n than_o our_o common-prayer_n book_n but_o a_o very_a naughty_a person_n if_o see_v and_o know_v this_o he_o do_v presume_v yet_o to_o condemn_v it_o because_o he_o can_v in_o this_o respect_n condemn_v the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o he_o must_v likewise_o condemn_v all_o the_o old_a church_n in_o the_o world_n which_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o a_o argument_n of_o a_o unchristian_a and_o naughty_a spirit_n i_o leave_v to_o all_o moderate_a man_n to_o judge_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o hope_v that_o those_o calumny_n and_o reproach_n which_o our_o liturgy_n have_v be_v lade_v with_o have_v be_v occasion_v by_o man_n ignorance_n of_o its_o excellency_n and_o therefore_o to_o prevent_v those_o aspersion_n for_o the_o future_a if_o it_o be_v possible_a i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v first_o the_o antiquity_n of_o set_a form_n of_o public_a prayer_n in_o general_n second_o then_o the_o antiquity_n of_o our_o english_a liturgy_n in_o particular_a and_o when_o these_o two_o thing_n be_v make_v to_o appear_v i_o hope_v the_o church_n of_o england_n will_v be_v acquit_v in_o this_o respect_n as_o follow_v the_o old_a way_n of_o serve_v god_n 1._o touch_v the_o ancient_a use_n of_o set_a form_n of_o public_a prayer_n in_o general_a three_o thing_n be_v provable_a for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o all_o modest_a and_o ingenuous_a people_n 1._o that_o set_v form_n of_o divine_a service_n be_v use_v among_o the_o ancient_a jew_n 2._o that_o set_v form_n of_o divine_a service_n be_v use_v also_o among_o the_o primitive_a christian_n 3._o that_o after_o our_o bless_a lord_n ascension_n in_o that_o interval_n between_o the_o burial_n of_o the_o synagogue_n and_o the_o settle_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n set_v form_n of_o divine_a service_n be_v allow_v also_o even_o by_o the_o holy_a apostle_n these_o three_o head_n i_o shall_v insist_v on_o the_o more_o large_o and_o particular_o because_o they_o may_v serve_v to_o inform_v and_o satisfy_v many_o even_o prejudice_v person_n who_o have_v not_o search_v into_o the_o bottom_n of_o thing_n but_o have_v content_v themselves_o with_o many_o superficial_a not_o to_o say_v groundless_a and_o impertinent_a notion_n 1._o first_o then_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o divine_a service_n among_o the_o jew_n do_v consist_v of_o several_a prescript_n and_o set_v form_n at_o their_o temple_n though_o a_o great_a part_n of_o their_o service_n be_v ceremonial_a and_o typical_a consist_v of_o divers_a kind_n of_o sacrifice_n and_o offering_n which_o in_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n be_v to_o be_v do_v away_o yet_o this_o be_v attend_v with_o moral_a and_o spiritual_a service_n consist_v of_o praise_n and_o prayer_n which_o be_v to_o continue_v for_o ever_o for_o the_o levite_n who_o office_n it_o be_v to_o stand_v every_o morning_n to_o thank_v and_o praise_v the_o lord_n and_o likewise_o at_o the_o evening_n be_v wont_a to_o perform_v their_o part_n as_o with_o a_o world_n of_o 30._o 1_o chron._n 23._o 30._o solemnity_n so_o also_o with_o hymn_n and_o song_n that_o be_v compose_v and_o set_v to_o their_o hand_n most_o of_o these_o be_v psalm_n indict_v by_o david_n some_o be_v frame_v by_o asaph_n and_o other_o prophet_n and_o all_o be_v put_v together_o into_o a_o book_n out_o of_o which_o the_o levite_n be_v appoint_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o congregation_n to_o worship_n and_o praise_n god_n in_o one_o of_o the_o outward_a court_n of_o the_o temple_n while_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v by_o the_o priest_n within_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o we_o find_v many_o psalm_n direct_v to_o the_o chief_a musician_n for_o tune_n to_o be_v set_v unto_o they_o that_o the_o son_n of_o jeduthun_n korah_n and_o other_o levite_n in_o their_o course_n may_v sing_v they_o in_o consort_n with_o wind_n instrument_n and_o string_a instrument_n of_o which_o there_o be_v divers_a kind_n as_o flute_n cornet_n trumpets_z cymbal_n harp_n psaltery_n etc._n etc._n according_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o prophet_n 2_o chron._n 29._o 25._o and_o hence_o it_o be_v too_o that_o we_o find_v some_o psalm_n frame_v on_o purpose_n to_o be_v use_v on_o some_o special_a occasion_n as_o particular_o the_o 92_o psalm_n entitle_v a_o song_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o be_v intend_v questionless_a to_o be_v sing_v solemn_o on_o the_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o god_n rest_n upon_o that_o day_n and_o to_o give_v he_o thanks_o for_o his_o wonderful_a work_n of_o creation_n and_o providence_n and_o last_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o fifteen_o psalm_n immediate_o follow_v the_o hundred_o and_o ninetenth_fw-mi be_v call_v psalm_n of_o degree_n or_o step_n because_o the_o levite_n be_v wont_a to_o sing_v they_o upon_o the_o fifteen_o stair_n upon_o each_o stair_n one_o which_o be_v between_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o man_n court._n brief_o we_o find_v it_o say_v express_o of_o king_n hezikiah_n that_o he_o command_v the_o levite_n to_o sing_v praise_n unto_o the_o lord_n with_o the_o word_n of_o david_n and_o of_o asaph_n the_o seer_n 2_o chron._n 29._o 30._o so_o that_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v without_o question_n that_o all_o act_n of_o divine_a worship_n do_v by_o the_o levite_n be_v perform_v in_o prescript_n and_o set_v form_n and_o let_v i_o add_v touch_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n that_o when_o they_o present_v their_o first_o fruit_n at_o the_o sanctuary_n the_o offerer_n be_v to_o make_v a_o humble_a acknowledgement_n of_o god_n mercy_n to_o he_o and_o to_o the_o whole_a nation_n in_o a_o set_a form_n of_o word_n deut._n 26._o 5._o thou_o shall_v speak_v and_o say_v these_o word_n a_o syrian_a ready_a to_o perish_v be_v my_o father_n and_o so_o on_o to_o the_o ten_o verse_n inclusive_o and_o at_o the_o end_n of_o their_o tithe_n every_o man_n of_o they_o be_v to_o say_v these_o word_n before_o the_o lord_n i_o have_v
