¹And for so much as the invocation is an honour which belongeth to GOD only, and can not be given to any creature whatsoever, how excellent so ever he be, without idolatry, sacrilege, and blasphemy against God our Lord Jesus Christ, himself hath given to his church a form of prayer, the which he hath willed to be observed in the same, and by the which, he hath willed all prayers and supplications to be ruled and measured. And hath done it, to the end that in stead of honouring of God by them, he should not be dishonoured, through default of praying unto him, and invocating his name, in such sort as he requireth, willing to be honoured in spirit and verity not only with lips and with hypocrisy, and with outward show.

And hathe doone it, to the ende that in steade of honouring of God by them, hée should not be dishonoured, thorow default of praying vnto him, and inuocating his name, in suche sorte as he requireth, willing to be honoured in spirite and veritie not only with lippes and with hipocrisie, and with outwarde shewe.
