when_o the_o say_v liturgy_n must_v be_v alter_v who_o can_v imagine_v all_o the_o difficulty_n that_o will_v attend_v the_o attempt_n shall_v the_o catholic_a church_n propose_v to_o translate_v

alteration_n or_o corruption_n no_o more_o than_o the_o faith_n and_o religion_n which_o it_o teach_v nor_o less_o pure_a and_o perfect_a now_o than_o it_o be_v seventeen_o hundred_o year_n since_o and_o sure_o such_o a_o language_n so_o lofty_a in_o its_o expression_n so_o beautiful_a and_o majesty_n in_o its_o number_n so_o energic_a and_o expressive_a in_o its_o sense_n and_o as_o i_o may_v say_v so_o immortal_a and_o indefectible_a in_o its_o duration_n be_v the_o fit_a to_o have_v the_o public_a and_o solemn_a service_n of_o the_o immortal_a and_o eternal_a god_n perform_v in_o it_o and_o in_o this_o methinks_v we_o do_v but_o what_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n teach_v all_o nation_n and_o what_o our_o adversary_n can_v not_o but_o see_v will_v they_o but_o divest_v themselves_o of_o their_o prejudices_fw-la it_o be_v well_o know_v the_o jew_n lose_v their_o mother_n tongue_n in_o the_o capativity_n of_o babylon_n yet_o they_o never_o read_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n or_o

in_o a_o prince_n of_o a_o few_o province_n it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v a_o canon_n of_o a_o council_n hold_v long_o after_o in_o constantinople_n call_v quinisexta-synodus_a which_o provide_v that_o if_o the_o emperor_n shall_v erect_v or_o raise_v any_o city_n to_o the_o dignity_n of_o metropolis_n of_o a_o province_n the_o ecclesiastical_a power_n ought_v to_o follow_v the_o temporal_a the_o sense_n of_o which_o canon_n i_o conceive_v must_v be_v this_o that_o either_o the_o bishop_n of_o the_o city_n thus_o dignify_v be_v to_o have_v the_o jurisdiction_n of_o a_o metropolitan_a

this_o canon_n do_v not_o exempt_v the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o from_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o the_o patriarch_n much_o less_o from_o that_o of_o the_o pope_n as_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o indeed_o to_o give_v it_o the_o most_o rigorous_a interpretation_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o stretch_v it_o any_o further_a than_o this_o that_o when_o a_o city_n be_v make_v metropolis_n or_o head_n of_o a_o kingdom_n the_o bishop_n of_o that_o city_n ought_v to_o have_v jurisdiction_n over_o all_o the_o bishop_n in_o the_o same_o kingdom_n but_o this_o do_v not_o give_v the_o least_o

secular_a prince_n but_o by_o a_o council_n of_o bishop_n in_o favour_n doubtless_o of_o the_o episcopal_a dignity_n because_o it_o be_v proper_a that_o the_o first_o bishop_n or_o metropolitan_a shall_v have_v his_o seat_n in_o the_o metropolis_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o take_v his_o denomination_n from_o thence_o and_o yet_o we_o see_v this_o never_o take_v place_n in_o the_o west_n
