Reproduction of the original in the Bodleian Library.
Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors.
EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

REASONS
For
which
the
Service
Booke
,
urged
upon
SCOTLAND
ought
to
bee
refused
.
1.
IT
cònteineth
divers
points
and
directions
,
vvhich
vvould
breed
a
change
in
some
Articles
of
that
Doctrine
and
Discipline
of
the
Church
of
the
said
Kingdome
,
vvhich
is
both
vvarranted
in
Scripture
&
approved
by
Parlament
:
and
it
seemeth
to
be
as
vvell
against
State
wisedome
as
against
Religion
,
to
change
any
thing
either
in
the
matter
or
forme
of
the
sayd
doctrine
and
discipline
,
vvithout
first
shewing
both
some
evill
or
defect
in
the
things
to
bee
changed
,
and
what
good
&
benefit
it
is
that
the
said
Service
booke
vvill
afforde
more
to
the
Edification
of
the
Church
,
or
true
vvorship
of
Almightie
God
,
then
the
points
of
doctrine
&
discipline
,
vvhich
the
said
Service
booke
vvould
breed
a
change
of
?
2.
In
the
pretended
Communion
,
it
hath
all
the
substance
and
essentiall
parts
of
the
Masse
,
and
so
brings
in
the
most
abominable
Idolatrie
that
ever
vvas
in
the
vvorld
,
in
vvorshipping
of
a
breaden
God
,
and
makes
vvay
to
the
Antichrist
of
Rome
,
to
bring
this
Land
under
his
bondage
againe
,
as
may
bee
seen
at
large
by
the
particulars
of
that
Communion
,
wherein
some
things
,
that
were
put
out
of
the
Service
booke
of
England
,
for
smelling
so
strong
of
the
Masse
,
are
restored
,
and
many
other
things
,
that
vvere
never
in
it
,
are
brought
in
,
out
of
the
Masse
booke
,
though
they
labour
to
cover
the
matter
.
It
hath
the
commemoration
of
the
dead
:
The
Table
set
Altar
wayes
:
The
oblation
of
the
Bread
and
Wine
to
God
before
the
consecration
:
It
hath
the
Popish
consecration
,
that
the
Lord
would
sanctifie
by
his
Words
,
and
by
his
holy
Spirit
,
those
gifts
and
creatures
of
Bread
and
Wine
,
that
they
may
be
unto
us
the
body
and
blood
of
his
Sonne
,
and
then
repeat
the
words
of
institution
to
God
,
for
that
purpose
.
It
hath
an
oblation
of
it
againe
,
after
it
is
consecrat
,
the
consumation
by
the
Priest
,
kneeling
before
the
consecrate
Bread
and
Wine
.
It
takes
avvay
the
eating
and
drinking
by
faith
,
mentioned
in
the
English
Liturgie
.
It
hath
the
patin
challice
,
two
Paternosters
in
English
,
before
the
Masse
,
and
severall
other
particulars
,
that
vvould
take
a
long
time
to
rehearse
and
confute
.
3.
Though
they
vvould
take
avvay
the
Idolatrous
Masse
out
of
it
,
yet
it
hath
a
number
of
Popish
superstitions
and
Idolatrous
ceremonies
:
as
,
29
holy
dayes
,
vvhereof
22
are
dedicated
to
Saints
,
two
of
them
to
the
Virgin
Mary
,
the
one
vvhereof
is
called
,
The
Anuntiation
of
our
Lady
,
so
shee
is
made
a
Lady
to
Christians
,
not
being
on
Earth
,
shee
must
be
a
Lady
in
Heaven
:
Is
not
this
to
make
her
a
Goddesse
?
It
hath
14
Fasting
dayes
,
and
some
vveekes
.
It
hath
also
the
humane
Sacraments
of
Crosse
in
Baptisme
,
laying
on
of
the
Bishops
hand
in
confirmation
:
a
Ring
for
the
outward
seall
in
Mariage
:
a
sanctified
Font
,
holie
vvater
,
holinesse
of
Churches
and
Chancels
:
private
Baptisme
,
private
Communions
,
Ceremonies
for
Buriall
of
the
dead
,
and
purification
of
vvomen
after
Childbirth
,
the
Priest
standing
,
kneeling
,
turning
to
the
people
,
and
consequentlie
from
them
,
speaking
vvith
a
loud
voice
,
and
consequentlie
sometimes
with
a
lowe
voice
.
Peoples
standing
at
Gospels
,
at
Gloria
Patri
,
&
Creeds
:
their
ansvvering
to
the
Minister
,
&
many
such-like
,
in
number
above
50.
besides
any
religious
Ornament
,
that
the
King
,
or
his
Successours
,
shall
prescribe
,
and
Ceremonies
that
Bishops
shall
determine
,
or
that
shall
bee
conteined
in
Bookes
of
Homilies
to
bee
set
foorth
heereafter
.
4.
And
though
they
would
take
out
of
the
Booke
,
both
the
Masse
&
all
those
superstitious
Ceremonies
,
yet
it
hath
a
number
of
other
materiall
errours
:
as
,
leaving
unread
about
a
120
Chapters
of
Gods
Worde
,
and
putting
this
reproach
upon
them
,
that
they
are
least
edifying
,
&
might
best
bee
spared
,
and
reading
sundrie
Chapters
out
of
Apocrypha
,
under
the
stile
of
holy
Scripture
of
the
olde
Testament
.
It
hath
a
Letanie
more
like
conjuring
then
like
Prayers
:
It
hath
some
places
out
of
vvhich
Papists
may
prove
,
that
Sacraments
are
absolutelie
necessarie
to
salvation
,
in
apointing
Baptisme
in
private
,
vvith
such
haste
,
that
,
if
necessitie
require
,
he
that
baptizes
needs
not
so
much
as
to
say
the
Lords
Prayer
,
and
out
of
vvhich
they
may
proove
,
that
Sacraments
giue
grace
by
their
vvorke
vvrought
,
in
saying
,
Children
baptized
,
have
all
things
necessarie
to
salvation
,
&
be
undoubtedly
saved
.
It
hath
other
places
out
of
which
they
may
proue
moe
Sacraments
then
tvvo
,
vvhich
they
say
euerie
Parishoner
,
who
is
alreadie
baptized
,
shall
communicate
,
&
shall
also
receave
the
Sacraments
,
and
that
Sacraments
two
,
are
generally
necessarie
to
salvation
,
as
if
there
vvere
others
,
eyther
not
so
generall
,
or
not
so
necessarie
.
It
hath
other
places
out
of
vvhich
they
may
proue
universall
grace
:
saying
,
God
the
Father
made
mee
,
and
all
the
world
,
and
God
the
Sonne
redeemed
mee
,
and
all
mankinde
:
One
Collect
pretends
to
begge
from
God
,
that
vvhich
they
dare
not
presume
to
name
,
and
a
number
others
of
this
sort
.
5.
Though
likevvise
they
amend
all
those
errours
,
and
that
there
were
no
materiall
errour
in
it
at
all
:
so
they
read
nothing
at
all
but
Scriptures
,
yea
,
and
that
all
their
Prayers
&
Exhortations
vvere
nothing
but
vvords
of
Scripture
,
yet
such
a
Liturgie
vvere
not
lawfull
to
be
made
the
onlie
forme
of
Gods
Worship
in
publike
:
for
,
though
a
formed
Liturgie
may
bee
to
serve
for
Rule
to
other
Churches
&
monuments
to
Posteritie
what
formes
are
used
,
or
that
it
may
lead
the
way
,
or
bee
a
direction
to
those
that
are
beginning
in
the
Ministrie
,
yet
it
is
not
by
reading
of
Prayers
and
Exhortations
that
the
LORD
appoints
his
servants
of
the
Ministerie
to
vvorship
Him
,
or
edifie
his
people
,
but
hee
hath
given
gifts
to
them
to
Exhort
,
Pray
,
and
Preach
,
vvhich
they
ought
to
stirre
up
and
use
,
and
though
they
may
in
their
private
studies
take
helpe
of
other
mens
gifts
,
yet
it
is
not
lawfull
for
a
man
to
tie
himselfe
,
or
bee
tyed
by
others
,
to
a
prescript
forme
of
vvords
in
prayer
and
exhortation
,
for
these
reasons
:
First
,
Such
a
prescript
Forme
is
●gainst
the
Glorie
of
God
,
in
stinting
to
him
such
a
daylie
measure
of
service
,
and
so
hindring
the
many
spirituall
Petitions
and
pra●ses
that
otherw●se
would
be
,
if
Gods
gifts
were
used
.
Secondlie
,
It
is
against
the
dignitie
of
Christ
,
in
making
his
gifts
needlesse
:
for
,
though
hee
send
downe
no
gifts
at
all
,
they
can
serve
themselves
with
the
Booke
,
without
them
.
Thirdlie
,
It
quenches
the
holy
Spirit
,
because
hee
gets
no
employment
.
Fourthly
,
It
hinders
the
Edification
of
Gods
people
,
they
may
as
well
stay
at
home
,
and
bee
edified
by
reading
the
Booke
themselues
.
Fiftly
,
It
is
against
the
Conversion
of
those
that
know
not
God
:
will
ever
a
Rat
●yme
of
words
sayd
over
without
feeling
or
blessing
,
worke
upon
an
unrenewed
heart
?
Sixtly
,
It
will
never
serve
to
convince
an
Hereticke
,
to
check
a
prophane
Person
,
or
to
waken
a
secure
Soule
:
they
may
long
goe
on
or
such
a
service
byte
upon
them
:
yea
,
it
●osters
people
in
a
presumptuous
conceit
,
that
they
are
well
enough
if
they
be
present
,
and
say
their
part
of
service
.
Seventhly
,
It
fosters
a
lasie
ministrie
,
and
makes
way
for
putting
downe
Preaching
:
they
need
take
no
paynes
,
and
therefore
needs
no
stipend
:
yea
,
they
may
come
from
the
Ailhouse
,
or
a
worse
place
,
and
step
to
and
read
their
Service
,
without
eyther
check
or
preparation
.
Eyghtly
,
It
may
all
be
done
by
a
Boy
of
7
yeares
olde
,
and
so
every
private
man
that
can
read
,
yea
,
a
Turcke
if
he
can
read
,
may
be
such
a
Minister
.
Ninthly
,
It
cannot
expresse
the
severall
needs
of
all
people
to
God
,
or
deale
with
them
,
according
to
their
severall
estates
,
that
will
alter
otherwise
then
any
prescript
forme
can
be
aplyed
to
.
Tenthly
,
If
any
one
stinted
Liturgie
had
beene
good
,
or
needfull
,
no
doubt
but
CHRIST
would
have
set
one
downe
to
us
.
6.
Though
a
prescript
forme
of
Liturgie
were
lawfull
,
yet
there
is
no
warrand
for
imposing
of
one
:
for
,
might
not
able
Ministers
(
at
least
)
make
a
prescript
forme
to
themselves
,
which
would
fit
them
and
their
people
best
?
But
if
it
were
lawfull
to
impose
one
,
then
there
is
one
in
this
Countrie
already
.
Ought
not
that
rather
be
imposed
,
then
any
other
,
seeing
it
is
already
established
by
Parlament
,
now
of
a
long
time
?
But
now
,
if
a
new
one
ought
to
be
imposed
,
then
it
ought
to
come
in
by
a
lawfull
maner
:
by
a
generall
Assemblie
,
and
men
chosen
to
make
it
that
are
knowne
to
have
the
gift
of
Prayer
themselves
,
and
not
the
Masse
booke
,
translated
into
English
,
urged
by
Antichristian
Prelats
,
upon
Gods
people
,
without
consent
of
any
Generall
Assemblie
or
Parlament
,
against
the
will
of
all
men
,
&
with
no
small
offence
&
scandall
to
the
minds
and
consciences
of
such
,
as
thinke
all
Liturgie
unlawfull
,
that
is
either
in
the
Masse
way
,
or
inconsistent
with
the
practise
&
peace
of
the
reformed
Churches
of
Scotland
hitherto
,
and
against
the
hearts
of
such
as
know
many
things
in
the
English
Liturgie
and
Canons
,
which
the
practise
of
,
neyther
hath
warrand
in
Gods
Word
,
nor
can
bring
any
such
adition
,
to
the
profit
,
honor
,
or
power
of
the
King
,
that
is
able
to
compense
the
losse
hee
may
make
of
his
good
Subjects
affections
,
by
commanding
such
a
change
,
as
the
urged
Liturgie
would
bring
to
the
Peace
of
our
Church
,
and
respect
due
to
the
Acts
of
Parlament
and
long
custome
,
whereby
our
Church
discipline
,
Order
,
and
Government
hath
beene
established
.
