there_o be_v any_o thing_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o any_o of_o these_o four_o that_o be_v name_v i_o shall_v own_o that_o and_o give_v that_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o fellowship_n and_o furthermore_o i_o be_o a_o constant_a hearer_n in_o your_o public_a place_n in_o your_o church_n as_o you_o call_v they_o and_o i_o do_v daily_o observe_v which_o way_n you_o steer_v your_o course_n

a._n ans_fw-fr i_o think_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o people_n both_o in_o parish_n and_o in_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n they_o take_v up_o their_o religion_n by_o tradition_n from_o the_o elder_n and_o practise_v it_o as_o the_o most_o do_v in_o a_o customary_a way_n instance_n in_o the_o jew_n in_o three_o thing_n and_o i_o think_v they_o be_v as_o wise_a as_o we_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n be_v this_o the_o pharisee_n urge_v the_o people_n for_o to_o observe_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n and_o therefore_o they_o come_v to_o christ_n for_o to_o know_v why_o his_o disciple_n do_v not_o observe_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n mat._n 15.1_o 2._o the_o second_o thing_n be_v this_o the_o pharisee_n do_v sharp_o reprove_v and_o curb_v those_o that_o do_v not_o observe_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n read_v john_n 7.47_o 48_o 49._o the_o three_o thing_n be_v this_o the_o pharisee_n hold_v the_o people_n in_o great_a slavery_n so_o that_o they_o dare_v not_o but_o observe_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n though_o they_o do_v know_v to_o the_o contrary_a nay_o they_o dare_v not_o confess_v christ_n for_o fear_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v put_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n read_v joh._n 12.42_o 43._o but_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o be_v so_o in_o our_o day_n friend_n i_o shall_v conclude_v with_o my_o last_o answer_n unto_o you_o in_o a_o few_o word_n we_o all_o seem_v to_o be_v zealous_a for_o god_n and_o the_o most_o man_n strive_v mighty_o for_o a_o form_n of_o religion_n but_o may_v not_o one_o ask_v where_o be_v the_o power_n of_o religion_n and_o where_o be_v the_o power_n of_o love_n to_o rejoice_v in_o christ_n for_o he_o be_v the_o truth_n 1_o cor._n 13.6_o and_o where_o be_v the_o power_n of_o a_o meek_a and_o a_o quiet_a spirit_n which_o be_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n of_o great_a price_n 1_o pet._n 3.4_o and_o where_o be_v the_o power_n of_o religion_n show_v forth_o in_o brotherly_a kindness_n and_o unfeigned_a
