who_o humble_o pray_v to_o god_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v not_o this_o to_o bow_v to_o christ_n now_o that_o hierome_n consent_v not_o unto_o they_o it_o be_v plain_a for_o when_o

jesu-worshipper_n never_o do_v by_o their_o bow_n at_o or_o to_o the_o name_n of_o man_n it_o can_v be_v avoid_v but_o they_o give_v the_o pre-eminence_n to_o the_o name_n of_o man_n above_o the_o

the_o knee_n in_o the_o text_n do_v denote_v pre-eminence_n to_o conclude_v if_o all_o divine_a name_n may_v have_v divine_a honour_n do_v to_o they_o when_o they_o be_v name_v and_o human_a name_n

that_o by_o his_o judgement_n none_o ought_v to_o be_v compel_v to_o it_o but_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n have_v constrain_v minister_n all_o along_o for_o the_o most_o part_n to_o use_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o ceremony_n but_o the_o other_o be_v general_o neglect_v and_o not_o urge_v till_o the_o day_n of_o this_o late_a archbishop_n therefore_o if_o this_o be_v a_o duty_n of_o the_o

her_o own_o tradition_n above_o god_n commandment_n it_o will_v make_v then_o that_o the_o church_n fail_v in_o sincerity_n till_o this_o late_a archbishop_n come_v section_n xviii_o last_o of_o all_o i_o may_v bring_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n against_o they_o the_o most_o of_o they_o and_o some_o also_o of_o the_o chief_a of_o they_o that_o ground_n it_o on_o the_o text_n yet_o hold_v their_o

from_o the_o text_n a_o plain_a evidence_n that_o he_o go_v about_o it_o doubtful_o for_o he_o be_v to_o encounter_v with_o a_o antagonist_n that_o hold_v it_o no_o duty_n of_o the_o text_n and_o will_v he_o go_v about_o to_o contradict_v he_o when_o himself_o be_v fearful_a that_o the_o text_n will_v not_o bear_v it_o but_o he_o affirm_v that_o when_o he_o have_v read_v bishop_n andrew_n on_o

fail_v i_o i_o will_v ground_v it_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n yea_o throughout_o the_o whole_a treatise_n he_o be_v content_a with_o any_o testimony_n or_o proof_n from_o any_o author_n that_o may_v give_v the_o least_o signification_n that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o thing_n indifferent_a yea_o which_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o those_o author_n that_o be_v evident_o against_o

and_o yet_o not_o be_v sure_a of_o his_o own_o ground_n what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o ensnare_v the_o conscience_n of_o his_o reader_n to_o make_v they_o practise_v a_o duty_n yet_o they_o shall_v
