reproach_n but_o true_o sir_n what_o you_o have_v relate_v touch_v the_o pulpit_n and_o the_o press_n transform_v i_o into_o wonder_n and_o i_o shall_v want_v faith_n to_o believe_v it_o do_v you_o not_o speak_v it_o upon_o your_o knowledge_n but_o the_o english_a when_o they_o fall_v to_o work_v upon_o a_o new_a humour_n use_v to_o overdo_v all_o people_n patr._n you_o have_v not_o yet_o the_o tith_z of_o what_o i_o can_v give_v you_o you_o will_v little_o think_v that_o coachman_n and_o feltmaker_n and_o weaver_n be_v permit_v to_o preach_v up_o and_o down_o without_o controlment_n and_o vent_v their_o venom_n against_o church_n and_o state_n to_o cry_v down_o our_o hierarchy_n and_o liturgy_n by_o most_o base_a and_o revile_v speech_n per._n touch_v your_o liturgy_n i_o have_v hear_v it_o censure_v abroad_o by_o the_o rigid_a calvinist_n of_o geneva_n and_o dort_n yet_o i_o never_o hear_v any_o other_o character_n give_v of_o it_o but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o pious_a pathetic_a and_o perfect_a piece_n of_o devotion_n both_o for_o the_o matter_n and_o form_n of_o it_o which_o i_o have_v be_v a_o little_a curious_a to_o observe_v it_o begin_v with_o some_o choice_n passage_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o a_o previous_a declaration_n or_o monitory_n to_o excite_v we_o to_o the_o work_n in_o hand_n the_o first_o address_n we_o make_v to_o god_n be_v by_o a_o humble_a and_o joint_a confession_n which_o be_v appliable_a to_o any_o conscience_n and_o comprehend_v in_o it_o all_o kind_n of_o sin_n then_o follow_v a_o pronunciation_n of_o god_n promise_n and_o proneness_n to_o pardon_n and_o absolve_v we_o we_o go_v on_o to_o the_o lord_n prayer_n which_o have_v be_v dictate_v by_o our_o saviour_n himself_o we_o often_o use_v and_o be_v as_o amber_n throw_v in_o among_o our_o frankincense_n to_o make_v the_o sacrifice_n more_o precious_a and_o please_a unto_o god_n then_o we_o proceed_v to_o some_o choice_a psalm_n and_o other_o portion_n of_o holy_a scripture_n take_v out_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n then_o we_o fall_v to_o the_o symbol_n of_o say_v where_o of_o we_o make_v a_o solemn_a joint_a confession_n in_o such_o a_o posture_n as_o show_v a_o readiness_n and_o resolution_n in_o we_o to_o defend_v it_o and_o so_o to_o the_o litany_n wherein_o the_o poor_a penitent_a peccant_a soul_n may_v be_v say_v to_o breathe_v out_o herself_o into_o the_o bosom_n of_o her_o saviour_n by_o tender_a ejaculation_n by_o pant_a groan_n and_o eviscerate_v ingemination_n and_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n no_o temptation_n whatsoever_o that_o human_a frailty_n be_v subject_a unto_o but_o you_o shall_v find_v a_o deliverance_n from_o it_o there_o it_o be_v so_o full_a of_o christian_a charity_n that_o there_o be_v no_o condition_n of_o people_n but_o be_v remember_v and_o pray_v for_o there_o then_o we_o proceed_v by_o holy_a alternative_a interlocution_n whereby_o we_o hear_v ourselves_o speak_v as_o well_o as_o the_o minister_n to_o some_o effectual_a short_a prayer_n because_o in_o long_a prayer_n the_o mind_n be_v subject_a to_o wander_v as_o some_o zealot_n now_o a_o day_n use_v to_o bring_v their_o hearer_n into_o a_o wilderness_n by_o their_o prayer_n and_o into_o a_o labyrinth_n by_o their_o sermon_n then_o go_v we_o on_o to_o the_o decalogue_n and_o if_o it_o be_v in_o a_o cathedral_n there_o be_v time_n enough_o for_o the_o hearer_n to_o examine_v himself_o while_o the_o music_n play_v where_o and_o when_o he_o break_v any_o of_o god_n holy_a commandment_n and_o ask_v particular_a forgiveness_n according_o then_o after_o other_o choice_a portion_n of_o scripture_n and_o passage_n relate_v to_o our_o redemption_n and_o endear_n unto_o we_o the_o merit_n of_o it_o with_o a_o more_o particular_a confession_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o be_v dismiss_v with_o a_o benediction_n so_o that_o this_o liturgy_n may_v be_v call_v a_o instrument_n of_o many_o string_n whereon_o the_o sigh_a soul_n send_v up_o various_a note_n unto_o heaven_n it_o be_v a_o posy_n make_v up_o of_o divers_a flower_n to_o make_v it_o the_o more_o fragrant_a in_o the_o nostril_n of_o god_n now_o touch_v your_o bishop_n i_o never_o know_v yet_o any_o protestant_a church_n but_o can_v be_v content_a to_o have_v they_o have_v they_o mean_v to_o maintain_v the_o dignity_n which_o the_o church_n of_o france_n with_o other_o have_v not_o in_o regard_n the_o reformation_n begin_v first_o among_o the_o people_n not_o at_o court_n as_o here_o it_o do_v in_o england_n for_o unless_o there_o be_v some_o superviser_n of_o god_n house_n endow_v with_o eminent_a authority_n to_o check_v the_o fond_a fancy_n and_o quench_v the_o false_a fatuous_a fire_n of_o every_o private_a spirit_n and_o unless_o it_o be_v such_o a_o authority_n that_o may_v draw_v unto_o it_o a_o holy_a kind_n of_o awe_n and_o obedience_n what_o can_v be_v expect_v but_o confusion_n and_o atheism_n you_o know_v what_o become_v of_o the_o israelite_n when_o the_o wont_a reverence_n to_o the_o ark_n and_o the_o ephod_n and_o the_o priest_n begin_v to_o languish_v among_o they_o for_o the_o brain_n of_o man_n be_v like_o a_o garden_n which_o unless_o it_o be_v sence_v about_o with_o a_o wall_n or_o hedge_n be_v subject_a you_o know_v to_o be_v annoy_v by_o all_o kind_n of_o beast_n which_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o run_v into_o it_o so_o the_o brain_n unless_o it_o be_v restrain_v and_o bound_v in_o holy_a thing_n by_o rule_n of_o canonical_a authority_n a_o thousand_o wild_a opinion_n and_o extravagant_a fancy_n will_v hourly_o rush_v into_o it_o nor_o be_v there_o ever_o any_o field_n so_o subject_a to_o produce_v cockle_n and_o darnell_n as_o the_o brain_n be_v rank_a and_o ready_a to_o bring_v forth_o tare_n of_o schism_n and_o heresy_n of_o a_o thousand_o sort_n unless_o after_o the_o first_o culture_n the_o sickle_n of_o authority_n be_v apply_v to_o grub_v up_o all_o such_o noisome_a weed_n pat._n yet_o this_o most_o ancient_a dignity_n of_o bishop_n be_v traduce_v and_o vilify_v by_o every_o shallowpated_a petty_a clerk_n and_o not_o so_o much_o out_o of_o a_o true_a zeal_n as_o out_o of_o envy_n that_o they_o be_v not_o the_o like_a and_o touch_v our_o liturgy_n whereof_o you_o have_v be_v please_v to_o give_v so_o exact_a a_o character_n people_n be_v come_v to_o that_o height_n of_o impiety_n that_o in_o some_o place_n it_o have_v be_v drown_v in_o other_o place_n burn_v in_o some_o place_n tear_v in_o piece_n to_o serve_v for_o the_o base_a use_n nay_o it_o have_v be_v preach_v public_o in_o pulpit_n that_o it_o be_v a_o piece_n forge_v in_o the_o devil_n shop_n and_o yet_o the_o impious_a foul_a mouth_a babbler_n never_o be_v so_o much_o as_o

to_o dispute_v of_o and_o determine_v the_o extent_n of_o monarchik_n jurisdiction_n what_o sturdy_a doubt_n what_o saucy_a query_n they_o put_v what_o odd_a frivolous_a distinction_n they_o frame_v that_o the_o king_n though_o he_o be_v god_n anoint_v yet_o he_o be_v man_n appoint_v that_o he_o have_v the_o command_a not_o the_o dispose_a power_n that_o he_o be_v set_v to_o rule_v over_o not_o to_o over_o rule_v the_o people_n that_o he_o be_v king_n by_o human_a choice_n not_o by_o divine_a charter_n that_o he_o be_v not_o king_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n so_o much_o as_o by_o the_o
