the_o authority_n of_o the_o meeting_n nor_o derogate_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o rather_o enlarge_v her_o pale_a but_o after_o all_o the_o do●_n and_o stir●_n you_o make_v about_o the_o church_n i_o believe_v i_o may_v say_v to_o you_o as_o the_o little_a boy_n say_v to_o his_o mother_n mother_n what_o need_v you_o talk_v so_o much_o of_o the_o church_n you_o do_v go_v so_o often_o to_o it_o jack._n that_o be_v nothing_o to_o you_o will_v do_v you_o make_v out_o your_o assertion_n and_o then_o i_o will_v say_v something_o to_o thou_o will._n have_v but_o patience_n and_o i_o will_n thou_o know_v that_o the_o dissenter_n be_v allow_v their_o meeting_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n which_o i_o hope_n be_v another_o kind_n of_o authority_n than_o my_o lord_n mayor_n sword_n and_o most_o honest_a man_n think_v it_o but_o reasonable_a they_o shall_v have_v that_o liberty_n notwithstanding_o the_o threaten_a word_n of_o the_o d_o n_o of_o c._n that_o if_o king_n william_n do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o damn_a act_n of_o toleration_n they_o will_v send_v he_o back_o again_o to_o the_o bog_n of_o holland_n jack._n prithee_o let_v your_o story_n alone_o and_o come_v to_o the_o matter_n i_o own_o that_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n be_v a_o better_a authority_n than_o my_o lord_n mayor_n sword_n will._n thou_o know_v also_o that_o that_o liberty_n be_v allow_v they_o on_o condition_n that_o they_o subscribe_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n jack._n i_o do_v will._n why_o then_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o my_o lord_n mayor_n can_v not_o go_v thither_o with_o nor_o without_o his_o sword_n if_o the_o dissenter_n do_v not_o qualify_v themselves_o according_a to_o the_o term_n of_o the_o act._n jack._n no_o he_o can_v not_o will._n be_v it_o not_o plain_a then_o that_o if_o my_o lord_n mayor_n sword_n signify_v any_o thing_n it_o come_v to_o defend_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n at_o the_o meeting_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o church_n and_o be_v not_o his_o presence_n there_o with_o the_o ensign_n of_o authority_n a_o evidence_n that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n be_v preach_v there_o whereas_o in_o former_a time_n the_o meeting_n be_v look_v upon_o to_o be_v quite_o another_o thing_n than_o the_o church_n of_o england_n so_o that_o i_o think_v it_o be_v plain_a to_o any_o man_n understanding_n that_o his_o be_v there_o be_v only_o a_o declaration_n that_o the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n be_v enlarge_v and_o that_o we_o now_o own_v they_o for_o brethren_n that_o by_o the_o heat_n of_o some_o ill_a man_n be_v former_o account_v our_o enemy_n jack._n nay_o but_o you_o mistake_v the_o matter_n the_o meeting_n have_v only_o a_o liberty_n but_o we_o be_v the_o church_n establish_v by_o law_n their_o meeting_n must_v not_o be_v account_v the_o church_n because_o they_o have_v neither_o bishop_n nor_o ceremony_n nor_o benefice_n will._n prithee_o jack_n do_v talk_v such_o nonsense_n the_o meeting_n be_v as_o much_o establish_v by_o law_n as_o the_o church_n of_o england_n if_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n be_v a_o law_n and_o you_o know_v that_o it_o be_v only_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n that_o defend_v you_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o those_o thing_n wherein_o you_o differ_v from_o
