most_o full_o in_o a_o discourse_n which_o i_o find_v in_o the_o second_o volume_n of_o his_o work_n concern_v the_o method_n of_o preach_v where_o he_o direct_v preacher_n to_o tell_v the_o people_n in_o general_n that_o all_o ceremony_n be_v not_o to_o be_v abolish_v as_o appear_v by_o this_o that_o then_o we_o must_v take_v away_o baptism_n and_o the_o eucharist_n and_o if_o any_o one_o ask_v

of_o god_n be_v teach_v and_o certain_a rite_n in_o the_o church_n such_o as_o that_o of_o sing_v psalm_n and_o certain_a form_n of_o communicate_v etc._n etc._n but_o there_o be_v other_o not_o so_o

there_o be_v no_o ceremony_n leave_v but_o only_o the_o sacrament_n that_o religion_n be_v never_o so_o contemptible_a as_o it_o be_v now_o for_o there_o be_v need_n of_o external_a show_n which_o may_v commend_v religion_n to_o the_o vulgar_a and_o make_v it_o appear_v more_o venerable_a because_o they_o can_v of_o themselves_o see_v its_o magnitude_n and_o dignity_n it_o be_v impious_a also_o he_o resolve_v to_o think_v that_o all_o ceremony_n be_v institute_v by_o wicked_a pope_n no_o there_o be_v some_o prudent_a and_o holy_a man_n who_o perceive_v how_o supine_n and_o dull_a the_o mind_n of_o the_o vulgar_a be_v that_o they_o will_v never_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o dignity_n and_o amplitude_n of_o religion_n unless_o their_o mind_n be_v both_o awake_v and_o detain_v by_o some_o reverend_a solemn_a ceremony_n which_o may_v help_v to_o lift_v they_o up_o and_o teach_v they_o to_o admire_v it_o these_o be_v his_o reason_n why_o all_o ceremony_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v abolish_v because_o some_o be_v command_v other_o necessary_a and_o other_o that_o be_v not_o have_v no_o impiety_n in_o they_o and_o be_v very_o profitable_a for_o weak_a mind_n which_o i_o think_v
