the_o directory_n shall_v be_v discommend_v as_o it_o be_v recommend_v and_o our_o form_n shall_v go_v down_o and_o another_o thing_n shall_v be_v establish_v instead_o of_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o join_v to_o another_o and_o though_o they_o shall_v accuse_v we_o for_o time-server_n and_o men-pleaser_n yet_o we_o have_v a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n as_o in_o edward_n the_o 6._o and_o henry_n the_o 8._o how_o many_o hundred_o of_o our_o fellow-merchant_n deny_v drive_v a_o trade_n with_o the_o mass-book_n and_o likewise_o in_o the_o day_n of_o queen_n mary_n many_o thousand_o own_v the_o mass-book_n as_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n which_o be_v then_o hold_v out_o again_o how_o many_o thousand_o of_o our_o fellow-merchant_n deny_v the_o mass-book_n our_o public_a profession_n doctrine_n and_o discipline_n and_o join_v to_o the_o book_n of_o commonprayer_n and_o the_o lateny_n as_o the_o public_a profession_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o now_o of_o late_a year_n we_o have_v deny_v it_o ourselves_o and_o so_o we_o which_o be_v of_o this_o order_n can_v dispense_v well_o enough_o with_o this_o see_v that_o we_o trade_n with_o some_o of_o our_o mother_n merchandise_n under_o another_o name_n and_o so_o the_o matter_n be_v less_o grievous_a because_o the_o order_n and_o ceremony_n about_o worship_n be_v retain_v still_o in_o our_o

the_o edge_n off_o people_n see_v it_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n with_o we_o to_o set_v our_o sail_n which_o way_n soever_o the_o wind_n blow_v and_o it_o may_v be_v we_o may_v bring_v they_o a_o scripture_n or_o two_o and_o a_o inference_n from_o it_o for_o a_o cloak_n as_o to_o submit_v to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n and_o let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n so_o henry_n the_o 8_o while_o he_o stand_v he_o be_v the_o high_a power_n and_o so_o mary_n elizab●th_n james_n and_o charles_n they_o be_v the_o high_a power_n while_o they_o stand_v and_o they_o do_v ordain_v that_o sometime_o the_o mass-book_n shall_v be_v the_o public_a worship_n and_o sometime_o the_o commonprayer_n book_n shall_v be_v the_o public_a worship_n and_o now_o the_o directory_n a_o platform_n of_o public_a worship_n it_o may_v be_v these_o and_o the_o like_a argument_n to_o they_o that_o be_v dim-sighted_a will_v take_v place_n for_o sometime_o but_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n above_o all_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v consider_v of_o by_o we_o who_o be_v allow_v to_o be_v public_a merchant_n see_v that_o we_o must_v go_v under_o the_o name_n of_o reformation_n for_o that_o be_v our_o flag_n we_o carry_v in_o our_o ship_n that_o see_v that_o general_o people_n of_o the_o most_o understanding_n will_v not_o allow_v of_o any_o preach_n to_o be_v effectual_a to_o the_o convert_n of_o soul_n but_o that_o which_o be_v minister_v by_o or_o from_o the_o spirit_n for_o the_o read_n of_o old_a homily_n which_o serve_v in_o our_o predecessor_n day_n will_v not_o serve_v now_o or_o if_o we_o shall_v speak_v some_o hebrew_n or_o greek_a or_o latin_a in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n they_o will_v conclude_v that_o be_v rather_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o from_o natural_a wit_n rather_o than_o from_o the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o much_o amiss_o if_o we_o conclude_v to_o let_v some_o of_o the_o ancient_a father_n pass_v and_o not_o mention_v they_o because_o it_o be_v hold_v general_o that_o they_o live_v in_o a_o apostatise_a time_n and_o so_o it_o will_v not_o be_v effectual_a in_o the_o audience_n of_o people_n and_o so_o for_o austin_n and_o cyprin_n jerom_n and_o ●ead_n origen_n and_o damasen_n their_o traffic_n will_v hardly_o go_v off_o for_o they_o will_v conclude_v it_o be_v rather_o by_o art_n and_o study_v that_o we_o preach_v then_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o we_o be_v fall_v into_o such_o a_o dangerous_a time_n as_o this_o be_v now_o in_o the_o break_n of_o day_n when_o man_n begin_v to_o be_v quick-sighted_a and_o will_v not_o only_o espy_v hill_n but_o also_o moat_n therefore_o all_o we_o which_o be_v merchant_n of_o this_o order_n and_o rank_n to_o our_o mother_n mystery_n babylon_n have_v need_n to_o trade_n with_o the_o best_a merchandise_n as_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o precious_a stone_n and_o fine_a linen_n and_o silk_n and_o scarlet_a and_o so_o let_v this_o be_v agree_v upon_o by_o we_o all_o that_o we_o study_v hard_a and_o read_v the_o scripture_n and_o other_o modern_a divine_n which_o be_v orthodox_a that_o so_o if_o need_v require_v every_o one_o may_v preach_v ex_fw-la tempore_fw-la for_o else_o it_o will_v not_o go_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o have_v word_n to_o fit_v all_o time_n occasion_n and_o season_n as_o before_o protector_n parliament_n and_o counsel_n or_o noble_a man_n or_o classis_fw-la or_o synod_n or_o the_o like_a and_o every_o one_o labour_n by_o study_n and_o art_n to_o raise_v many_o

that_o we_o shall_v clear_v ourselves_o from_o clamour_n which_o some_o of_o our_o merchant_n have_v fall_v under_o because_o of_o their_o negligence_n and_o if_o any_o shall_v accuse_v we_o for_o study_v and_o patch_v up_o our_o sermon_n out_o of_o divers_a author_n mix_v with_o scripture_n and_o our_o invention_n then_o bring_v such_o a_o scripture_n as_o that_o 2_o tim._n 2_o 1●_z study_v
