church_n shall_v be_v amiss_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v beyond_o your_o power_n to_o help_v they_o 5._o last_o i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n allow_v that_o mr._n boyse_n have_v any_o reason_n to_o make_v such_o demand_n as_o these_o or_o to_o expect_v any_o answer_n to_o they_o all_o the_o occasion_n he_o pretend_v for_o they_o be_v because_o i_o make_v some_o request_n to_o your_o minister_n in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o my_o discourse_n one_o of_o which_o concern_v the_o exercise_n of_o your_o discipline_n that_o it_o may_v be_v with_o less_o offence_n to_o we_o and_o advantage_n to_o our_o common_a christianity_n and_o from_o thence_o he_o conclude_v that_o i_o can_v take_v it_o ill_a if_o we_o say_v he_o p._n 170._o use_v the_o like_a freedom_n in_o offer_v with_o all_o humility_n the_o follow_a request_n but_o that_o the_o case_n be_v no_o way_n the_o same_o nor_o the_o request_n equal_a will_v appear_v if_o you_o consider_v first_o the_o person_n concern_v in_o they_o second_o the_o thing_n demand_v and_o three_o the_o manner_n of_o propose_v they_o 1._o as_o to_o the_o person_n concern_v i_o may_v put_v you_o in_o mind_n that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o of_o the_o establish_v church_n have_v constitute_v i_o bishop_n of_o this_o diocese_n and_o though_o you_o do_v not_o own_o my_o authority_n as_o due_o receive_v from_o christ_n yet_o i_o myself_o be_o persuade_v it_o be_v so_o and_o that_o the_o duty_n i_o lie_v under_o from_o my_o consecration_n vow_n oblige_v i_o to_o watch_v over_o and_o to_o endeavour_v to_o instruct_v and_o advise_v you_o out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o mr._n boyse_n have_v no_o such_o relation_n to_o those_o he_o take_v on_o he_o to_o advise_v he_o have_v yet_o own_v no_o proper_a church_n beyond_o his_o single_a congregation_n he_o have_v own_v no_o ecclesiastical_a judicature_n on_o earth_n to_o who_o he_o and_o his_o congregation_n be_v accountable_a by_o the_o law_n of_o christ._n he_o can_v claim_v no_o authority_n over_o any_o other_o congregation_n than_o his_o own_o or_o challenge_v so_o much_o as_o to_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o christ_n to_o any_o other_o if_o they_o please_v to_o question_v it_o without_o a_o new_a ordination_n as_o appear_v from_o those_o head_n of_o agreement_n ch._n ii_o sect._n 6._o produce_v by_o himself_o now_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o this_o make_v a_o very_a manifest_a difference_n in_o our_o case_n but_o if_o you_o further_o consider_v to_o who_o his_o demand_n be_v make_v it_o will_v appear_v yet_o great_a i_o only_o address_v myself_o to_o those_o of_o your_o minister_n that_o be_v in_o this_o diocese_n and_o design_v my_o book_n shall_v go_v no_o far_o but_o mr._n boyse_n propose_v he_o to_o the_o whole_a conformable_a clergy_n nay_o to_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n and_o to_o the_o whole_a laity_n of_o england_n and_o ireland_n and_o this_o he_o do_v in_o the_o name_n of_o your_o whole_a party_n as_o if_o he_o be_v your_o representative_a from_o which_o you_o may_v see_v what_o a_o figure_n he_o take_v to_o himself_o 2._o but_o second_o there_o be_v as_o great_a a_o difference_n in_o the_o thing_n demand_v as_o in_o the_o person_n concern_v my_o request_n be_v only_o in_o such_o thing_n as_o i_o suppose_v inoffensive_a in_o which_o we_o real_o agree_v and_o be_v in_o your_o own_o power_n to_o grant_v i_o without_o alter_v any_o thing_n either_o in_o your_o constitution_n or_o principles_n and_o in_o these_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o hope_v for_o your_o compliance_n and_o do_v yet_o more_o than_o hope_v for_o it_o but_o several_a of_o the_o thing_n which_o mr._n boyse_n request_v concern_v temporal_a matter_n such_o as_o be_v in_o the_o power_n only_o of_o king_n and_o parliament_n other_o be_v such_o as_o we_o think_v very_o unreasonable_a to_o be_v ask_v and_o other_o be_v found_v on_o most_o unjust_a representation_n of_o our_o practice_n and_o principle_n which_o if_o true_o represent_v need_v no_o reformation_n as_o may_v appear_v from_o his_o add_v to_o and_o take_v from_o our_o 3_o and_o 4_o canon_n p._n 179._o and_o may_v further_o appear_v in_o the_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 6_o 7_o 8_o 11_o 12_o 13_o request_n from_o all_o which_o it_o will_v seem_v that_o these_o request_n be_v rather_o make_v to_o amuse_v you_o then_o that_o he_o can_v serious_o expect_v we_o shall_v regard_v they_o 3._o and_o indeed_o as_o the_o person_n and_o matter_n be_v very_o different_a so_o the_o way_n of_o propose_v they_o be_v no_o less_o contrary_a to_o that_o use_v by_o i_o by_o his_o own_o confession_n i_o give_v no_o ill_a language_n i_o charge_v you_o with_o nothing_o that_o be_v so_o much_o as_o doubtful_a but_o if_o you_o please_v to_o read_v over_o his_o request_n i_o dare_v leave_v it_o to_o your_o own_o judgement_n whether_o he_o have_v observe_v the_o same_o temper_n he_o be_v not_o content_a to_o load_v our_o church_n with_o many_o groundless_a imputation_n but_o he_o expose_v the_o kingdom_n and_o protestant_n inhabitant_n of_o it_o as_o again_o overspread_v with_o swear_v profanation_n of_o the_o lord's-day_n uncleanness_n pride_n luxury_n etc._n etc._n p._n 182_o a_o imputation_n that_o i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n allow_v to_o be_v general_a there_o be_v i_o be_o persuade_v by_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n a_o manifest_a abatement_n of_o these_o in_o this_o diocese_n but_o however_o the_o matter_n be_v to_o make_v such_o demand_n as_o these_o in_o print_n which_o perhaps_o one_o in_o a_o thousand_o of_o those_o that_o be_v concern_v in_o they_o shall_v never_o see_v may_v serve_v to_o furnish_v our_o common_a adversary_n with_o argument_n against_o you_o and_o we_o and_o may_v exasperate_v and_o furnish_v you_o with_o objection_n against_o unite_n with_o we_o but_o can_v never_o serve_v to_o amend_v what_o may_v be_v real_o amiss_o in_o your_o practice_n which_o i_o be_o sure_o be_v the_o design_n of_o what_o i_o write_v and_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v appear_v that_o it_o be_v so_o to_o every_o one_o that_o will_v serious_o review_v my_o address_n to_o your_o minister_n iii_o the_o three_o allegation_n use_v by_o mr._n boyse_n to_o take_v off_o the_o force_n of_o my_o book_n be_v that_o i_o have_v omit_v to_o handle_v that_o part_n of_o our_o worship_n against_o which_o you_o have_v great_a exception_n thus_o p._n 163._o he_o tax_v i_o that_o i_o have_v omit_v one_o material_a part_n of_o divine_a worship_n about_o the_o manner_n of_o perform_v which_o the_o contest_v between_o the_o establish_v church_n and_o dissenter_n do_v most_o direct_o concern_v this_o charge_n of_o human_a invention_n viz._n baptism_n this_o he_o impute_v to_o want_v of_o candour_n and_o ingenuity_n and_o give_v i_o many_o hard_a word_n about_o it_o and_o more_o particular_o insist_o on_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n which_o he_o intimate_v that_o i_o do_v not_o mention_v because_o i_o can_v not_o defend_v it_o this_o than_o i_o suppose_v be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o feeble_a place_n of_o our_o church-service_n that_o i_o have_v leave_v unguarded_a i_o most_o hearty_o wish_v that_o all_o our_o difference_n be_v reduce_v to_o this_o one_o and_o that_o you_o can_v as_o easy_o clear_v yourselves_o from_o introduce_v the_o invention_n of_o man_n into_o the_o service_n of_o god_n as_o we_o can_v clear_v ourselves_o in_o this_o particular_a and_o to_o convince_v you_o that_o i_o be_o in_o earnest_n i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o short_a account_n of_o my_o thought_n of_o it_o by_o which_o you_o may_v know_v what_o credit_n mr._n boyse'_v conjecture_n concern_v i_o aught_o to_o have_v with_o you_o first_o therefore_o i_o will_v show_v you_o why_o i_o omit_v this_o part_n of_o god_n service_n in_o my_o book_n second_o that_o mr._n boyse'_v argument_n against_o the_o cross_n in_o baptism_n be_v of_o no_o force_n three_o that_o the_o use_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o baptism_n be_v warrant_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 1._o first_o then_o i_o omit_v this_o part_n of_o worship_n because_o it_o be_v occasional_a not_o ordinary_a in_o my_o introduction_n n._n 5._o i_o engage_v only_o to_o consider_v the_o ordinary_a service_n of_o god_n and_o the_o main_a substantial_a part_n thereof_o i_o be_v sensible_a that_o you_o be_v oblige_v to_o worship_n god_n public_o every_o lord's-day_n and_o be_v answerable_a for_o your_o neglect_n if_o you_o do_v not_o when_o you_o may_v and_o therefore_o judge_v it_o of_o great_a moment_n to_o clear_v from_o exception_n those_o part_n of_o our_o worship_n in_o which_o you_o be_v oblige_v to_o join_v with_o we_o on_o those_o day_n but_o you_o have_v not_o that_o same_o constant_a necessity_n to_o join_v in_o baptism_n and_o your_o exception_n against_o it_o can_v be_v no_o just_a reason_n to_o hinder_v your_o attendance_n in_o
