any_o establishment_n by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o this_o with_o a_o addition_n that_o the_o exclusion_n of_o all_o such_o power_n be_v just_a and_o cap._n 2._o 9_o it_o be_v ordain_v that_o

the_o general_n now_o for_o the_o three_o particular_n and_o first_o that_o which_o be_v in_o cap._n 8._o 15._o that_o a_o minister_n shall_v be_v depose_v if_o he_o be_v find_v negligent_a to_o convert_v papist_n i_o do_v think_v fit_a to_o leave_v out_o upon_o these_o two_o ground_n the_o one_o that_o the_o word_n negligent_a be_v too_o general_a a_o expression_n and_o of_o too_o large_a a_o extent_n to_o lay_v a_o minister_n open_a to_o deposition_n and_o if_o church-governor_n to_o who_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o canon_n be_v commit_v shall_v forget_v christian_a moderation_n

little_a beside_o i_o have_v learn_v out_o of_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o even_o 69._o gross_a negligence_n in_o a_o matter_n as_o great_a as_o this_o be_v be_v punish_v but_o with_o suspension_n for_o three_o month_n the_o other_o ground_n why_o i_o omit_v this_o clause_n be_v because_o i_o do_v not_o think_v the_o church_n of_o scotland_n or_o any_o other_o particular_a church_n be_v so_o bless_a in_o her_o priest_n as_o that_o every_o of_o her_o minister_n be_v for_o learning_n and_o judgement_n and_o temper_v able_a and_o fit_a to_o convert_v papist_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v think_v then_o and_o do_v think_v yet_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a a_o work_n or_o to_o be_v make_v so_o common_a but_o that_o it_o be_v and_o may_v be_v much_o fit_a for_o some_o able_a select_a man_n to_o undertake_v and_o if_o any_o man_n think_v god_n gift_n in_o he_o to_o be_v neglect_v as_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o overvalue_v themselves_o let_v they_o try_v their_o gift_n and_o labour_v their_o conversion_n in_o god_n name_n but_o let_v not_o the_o church_n by_o a_o canon_n set_v every_o man_n on_o work_n lest_o their_o weak_a or_o indiscreet_a

that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o church_n may_v not_o be_v ascribe_v to_o parliament_n and_o this_o i_o conceive_v be_v plain_a in_o the_o very_a letter_n of_o the_o law_n the_o word_n of_o

heresy_n or_o no_o heresy_n be_v in_o the_o church_n but_o the_o judge_a and_o determine_v power_n for_o bind_v to_o obedience_n and_o for_o punishment_n be_v in_o the_o parliament_n with_o this_o

that_o the_o church_n alone_o shall_v not_o so_o determine_v heresy_n as_o to_o bring_v those_o grievous_a punishment_n which_o the_o law_n lay_v upon_o it_o upon_o the_o neck_n of_o any_o subject_a

by_o his_o own_o confession_n without_o any_o man_n call_v he_o so_o as_o for_o his_o lordship_n be_v the_o great_a separatist_n in_o england_n i_o have_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o tract_n

john_n teach_v his_o disciple_n and_o christ_n 2._o instant_o grant_v their_o request_n teach_v they_o a_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n therefore_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o st._n john_n
