to_o the_o second_o member_n of_o the_o first_o reason_n which_o be_v this_o reason_n 1_o because_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_v of_o suffer_a deprivation_n be_v against_o the_o ground_n of_o god_n word_n whereupon_o i_o conclude_v that_o such_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n be_v a_o error_n and_o a_o sin_n the_o ground_n of_o god_n word_n which_o be_v contrary_v by_o this_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n be_v two_o in_o number_n and_o they_o do_v minister_v two_o argument_n which_o i_o will_v prosecute_v in_o order_n by_o the_o help_n of_o god_n the_o first_o ground_n be_v this_o when_o two_o work_n or_o duty_n command_v of_o god_n do_v meet_v in_o one_o practice_n so_o as_o we_o can_v do_v they_o both_o but_o one_o of_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v do_v the_o other_o of_o necessity_n must_v be_v leave_v undo_v in_o this_o case_n the_o work_n or_o duty_n of_o great_a reason_n must_v be_v perform_v and_o that_o of_o lesser_a reason_n must_v be_v neglect_v and_o omit_v and_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o neglect_v the_o great_a to_o perform_v the_o lesser_a out_o of_o which_o ground_n i_o assume_v but_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o suffer_a deprivation_n for_o refuse_v to_o conform_v do_v cause_n man_n to_o neglect_v great_a duty_n to_o perform_v the_o lesser_a therefore_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o suffer_a deprivation_n for_o refuse_v to_o conform_v to_o our_o prescribe_a ceremony_n be_v a_o error_n and_o a_o sin_n for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o this_o argument_n there_o be_v two_o point_n to_o be_v prove_v 1_o that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n word_n and_o therefore_o a_o sin_n to_o pass_v by_o a_o great_a work_n or_o duty_n to_o perform_v a_o lesser_a 2_o that_o to_o suffer_v deprivation_n for_o refuse_v to_o conform_v unto_o the_o ceremones_fw-la prescribe_v in_o our_o church_n be_v to_o pass_v by_o a_o great_a work_n or_o duty_n to_o perform_v a_o lesser_a whereupon_o the_o former_a conclusion_n must_v follow_v of_o necessity_n touch_v the_o former_a point_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n word_n and_o therefore_o a_o sin_n to_o pass_v by_o a_o great_a work_n or_o duty_n to_o perform_v a_o lesser_a the_o which_o point_n although_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o evident_a and_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v by_o every_o sound_a divine_a yet_o for_o illustration_n sake_n i_o make_v more_o manifest_a by_o these_o reason_n reason_n 1_o first_o because_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v such_o then_o when_o mercy_n a_o great_a duty_n and_o sacrifice_n a_o lesser_a duty_n do_v meet_v so_o as_o both_o at_o the_o same_o time_n can_v be_v do_v mercy_n must_v be_v do_v and_o sacrifice_n leave_v undo_v mat._n 12._o 4._o 7._o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_v because_o hypocrite_n be_v reproove_v of_o god_n for_o pass_v by_o great_a duty_n to_o perform_v lesser_a thus_o be_v the_o scribe_n and_o pharise_n reproove_v by_o our_o saviour_n for_o let_v pass_v the_o
