this_o observation_n have_v no_o relation_n in_o the_o world_n to_o any_o word_n of_o capellus_n if_o he_o may_v be_v judge_n our_o liturgy_n differ_v more_o from_o the_o primitive_a liturgy_n than_o

church_n as_o well_o as_o endeavour_v a_o reformation_n of_o some_o thing_n the_o five_o observation_n be_v that_o the_o many_o reason_n for_o which_o the_o presbyterian_o have_v reject_v the_o
