the_o principal_a point_n be_v whole_o break_v by_o the_o murder_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o alteration_n and_o change_n of_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o the_o realm_n the_o whole_a covenant_n

the_o abolish_n of_o it_o so_o for_o the_o covenant_n in_o general_a this_o may_v suffice_v now_o to_o the_o particular_n which_o therein_o they_o insist_v upon_o for_o the_o abolish_n the_o book_n

to_o maintain_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o three_o kingdom_n of_o england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n hence_o they_o draw_v these_o two_o argument_n 1._o if_o all_o popery_n etc._n etc._n be_v to_o

enough_o then_o for_o their_o new_a additional_a proof_n here_o to_o make_v these_o thing_n superstitious_a because_o by_o christ_n they_o be_v not_o command_v we_o answer_v if_o they_o mean_v

must_v needs_o see_v it_o more_o likely_a and_o more_o reasonable_a to_o bring_v one_o to_o two_o then_o two_o to_o one_o but_o all_o this_o may_v now_o be_v very_o well_o spare_v for_o the_o scot_n have_v sufficient_o declare_v that_o they_o press_v not_o this_o covenant_n as_o these_o man_n do_v but_o will_v be_v in_o perfect_a love_n and_o peace_n with_o we_o enjoy_v our_o liturgy_n and_o

of_o this_o matter_n thus_o have_v do_v with_o the_o two_o argument_n draw_v from_o the_o covenant_n they_o bring_v two_o more_o one_o from_o erasmus_n another_o for_o smectymnuus_n the_o first_o

remove_v of_o such_o factious_a spirit_n and_o incendiary_n will_v quick_o settle_v a_o more_o happy_a peace_n and_o uniformity_n in_o the_o church_n than_o ever_o the_o remove_n of_o the_o common_a prayer_n book_n can_v do_v last_o they_o come_v in_o this_o chapter_n to_o the_o surplice_n in_o which_o to_o omit_v idle_a word_n the_o argument_n they_o use_v against_o the_o surplice_n be_v this_o if_o the_o surplice_n be_v man_n device_n and_o have_v be_v a_o idol_n in_o god_n worship_n it_o must_v be_v so_o still_o but_o our_o surplice_n be_v of_o such_o therefore_o they_o be_v ido_n still_o to_o this_o first_o we_o deny_v the_o consequence_n for_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n that_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v abuse_v once_o must_v be_v so_o abuse_v always_o or_o else_o destroy_v the_o abuse_n may_v be_v take_v away_o and_o the_o thing_n continue_v in_o its_o be_v still_o and_o a_o lawful_a use_n make_v of_o it_o a_o very_a crucifix_n or_o any_o saint_n picture_n worship_v
