proper_o within_o we_o but_o without_o we_o it_o be_v not_o simple_o a_o quiet_a from_o motion_n but_o commotion_n a_o trouble_v of_o other_o 4._o and_o that_o i_o may_v contract_v my_o argument_n and_o bring_v it_o into_o as_o narrow_a a_o compass_n as_o may_v be_v i_o shall_v not_o take_v in_o every_o of_o the_o disturbance_n of_o the_o quiet_a of_o other_o no_o not_o that_o which_o be_v the_o great_a of_o all_o and_o most_o contrary_a to_o peace_n and_o quiet_a civil_a war_n and_o broil_n the_o mischief_n of_o that_o we_o have_v learn_v so_o late_o to_o our_o cost_n and_o so_o perfect_o that_o i_o hope_v we_o need_v not_o be_v set_v to_o study_v that_o now_o when_o every_o good_a man_n be_v put_v to_o his_o study_n how_o to_o live_v and_o when_o vile_a and_o contemptible_a wretch_n rant_v in_o plenty_n and_o power_n the_o horrid_a fruit_n and_o consequence_n of_o that_o great_a disturber_n of_o quiet_a war_n have_v induce_v some_o learned_a man_n as_o well_o as_o other_o to_o think_v all_o war_n unlawful_a i_o shall_v have_v be_v much_o incline_v to_o that_o opinion_n upon_o the_o strict_a rule_n of_o christianity_n if_o war_n be_v not_o sometime_o necessary_a to_o peace_n a_o foreign_a war_n for_o that_o reason_n may_v be_v lawful_a but_o a_o civil_a and_o domestic_a never_o and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o difference_n be_v because_o for_o the_o compose_n of_o all_o quarrel_n that_o may_v arise_v between_o subject_n god_n have_v by_o his_o ordinance_n provide_v a_o remedy_n in_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n from_o who_o alone_o we_o be_v to_o seek_v for_o revenge_n or_o defence_n but_o for_o such_o difference_n as_o arise_v between_o free_a prince_n and_o state_n because_o there_o be_v no_o judge_n on_o earth_n to_o who_o they_o may_v have_v recourse_n for_o their_o relief_n be_v destitute_a of_o the_o common_a remedy_n they_o may_v without_o question_n make_v use_n of_o that_o sword_n which_o god_n have_v put_v into_o their_o hand_n to_o

into_o the_o field_n it_o be_v but_o to_o plead_v their_o cause_n before_o god_n with_o who_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o war._n only_o they_o have_v need_n be_v careful_a that_o the_o cause_n they_o bring_v before_o he_o be_v good_a for_o shall_v not_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n do_v right_a but_o the_o must_v leave_v this_o to_o prince_n and_o their_o minister_n who_o be_v the_o only_a proper_a student_n of_o that_o quiet_a which_o be_v disturb_v by_o war_n and_o come_v to_o that_o which_o may_n and_o must_v be_v the_o study_n of_o we_o all_o that_o be_v a_o quiet_a from_o

a_o open_a war._n not_o that_o war_n be_v quite_o leave_v out_o of_o the_o sectary_n reckon_v for_o though_o civil_a war_n and_o rebellion_n have_v their_o beginning_n for_o the_o most_o part_n from_o the_o ambition_n or_o discontent_n of_o a_o few_o yet_o because_o the_o people_n who_o be_v the_o necessary_a instrument_n of_o that_o mischief_n be_v not_o apt_a to_o serve_v the_o ambition_n of_o other_o if_o it_o come_v bare-faced_n to_o they_o the_o mask_n of_o religion_n be_v always_o put_v on_o wherein_o all_o people_n be_v concern_v which_o make_v it_o a_o common_a and_o popular_a interest_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v scarce_o hear_v of_o a_o rebellion_n of_o late_a time_n in_o which_o religion_n do_v not_o carry_v the_o colour_n at_o least_o if_o not_o command_v in_o chief_a but_o i_o shall_v nevertheless_o at_o this_o time_n forbear_v to_o make_v that_o any_o part_n of_o the_o schismatic_n charge_v but_o treat_v they_o upon_o their_o own_o term_n that_o they_o be_v as_o great_a enemy_n to_o war_n as_o any_o that_o object_n it_o to_o they_o yet_o i_o must_v charge_v they_o all_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o breach_n of_o peace_n and_o quiet_a in_o the_o church_n and_o that_o not_o accidental_o which_o may_v sometime_o bear_v excuse_n but_o necessary_o it_o be_v connatural_a and_o incident_a to_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o schism_n which_o be_v a_o rent_n or_o division_n so_o the_o word_n signify_v it_o be_v the_o worst_a disturbance_n that_o can_v be_v to_o any_o body_n to_o be_v tear_v in_o piece_n it_o dissolve_v the_o bond_n by_o which_o the_o part_n be_v join_v together_o especial_o that_o which_o unite_v they_o to_o the_o head_n for_o schism_n in_o the_o church_n notion_n be_v proper_o a_o separation_n from_o the_o head_n and_o authority_n and_o be_v the_o same_o in_o the_o church_n that_o rebellion_n or_o treason_n be_v in_o the_o state_n now_o as_o every_o disobedience_n to_o the_o king_n and_o the_o law_n be_v not_o treason_n though_o against_o the_o king_n but_o the_o disclaim_n the_o right_a and_o power_n the_o king_n have_v to_o govern_v and_o the_o practice_n of_o such_o thing_n by_o which_o his_o regalia_z and_o right_n be_v usurp_v by_o other_o as_o to_o make_v war_n to_o make_v law_n to_o thrust_v officer_n upon_o he_o to_o order_v the_o coin_n these_o and_o of_o the_o like_a kind_n be_v only_a treason_n so_o every_o error_n or_o disobedience_n in_o religion_n make_v not_o a_o schism_n but_o the_o disclaim_n the_o right_a and_o power_n the_o church_n have_v to_o govern_v they_o and_o a_o usurpation_n of_o a_o right_a to_o themselves_o to_o order_n and_o frame_v point_n of_o belief_n and_o form_n how_o to_o serve_v and_o worship_n god_n apart_o from_o the_o church_n for_o so_o go_v the_o style_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n for_o schism_n altar_n contra_fw-la altar_n which_o in_o our_o modern_a dialect_n be_v a_o conventicle_n against_o the_o church_n for_o though_o schism_n

which_o consist_v in_o the_o mutual_a office_n of_o charity_n and_o though_o this_o mischief_n break_v not_o out_o into_o a_o actual_a war_n yet_o be_v always_o accompany_v with_o most_o unnatural_a

this_o it_o will_v high_o concern_v we_o to_o study_v to_o be_v quiet_a have_v clear_v the_o first_o point_n the_o object_n of_o our_o study_n quiet_v and_o wherein_o the_o sormalis_fw-la ratio_fw-la of_o it_o consist_v and_o how_o it_o come_v to_o be_v disturb_v by_o schism_n the_o next_o point_n be_v to_o inquire_v into_o the_o principle_n whereon_o we_o be_v to_o ground_v our_o study_n for_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o error_n or_o mistake_n in_o they_o all_o our_o labour_n and_o study_n be_v lose_v or_o worse_a for_o a_o inveterate_a ground_a study_a error_n be_v so_o much_o the_o
