a_o brief_a answer_n to_o a_o late_a discourse_n concern_v the_o unreasonableness_n of_o a_o new_a separation_n whether_o the_o letter_n be_v write_v to_o or_o feign_v by_o our_o author_n i_o know_v not_o nor_o be_v it_o of_o any_o concern_v either_o way_n it_o may_v give_v a_o fit_a occasion_n to_o start_v the_o question_n and_o he_o pretend_v a_o surprise_n to_o read_v that_o the_o non-swearer_n shall_v think_v themselves_o bind_v to_o separate_v communion_n though_o he_o struggle_v with_o himself_o to_o think_v it_o possible_a that_o those_o who_o have_v express_v so_o great_a a_o sense_n of_o the_o mischief_n of_o it_o in_o other_o shall_v be_v so_o ready_a to_o fall_v into_o it_o themselves_o but_o alas_o he_o need_v not_o have_v be_v at_o that_o pain_n if_o he_o have_v consider_v that_o they_o do_v not_o fall_v but_o be_v force_v into_o it_o as_o i_o shall_v present_o make_v appear_v indeed_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v trouble_v for_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o soon_o apprehend_v the_o mischievous_a consequence_n of_o a_o new_a schism_n and_o i_o wish_v he_o and_o some_o other_o have_v be_v as_o quicksighted_n in_o foresee_v and_o prevent_v such_o cause_n which_o unavoidable_o produce_v such_o mischief_n but_o i_o find_v that_o some_o man_n look_v one_o way_n and_o some_o another_o and_o some_o after_o they_o have_v do_v all_o the_o mischief_n they_o can_v yet_o will_v not_o leave_v off_o that_o old_a stale_a trick_n of_o wipe_v their_o mouth_n and_o say_v they_o have_v do_v no_o hurt_n but_o the_o wonder_n be_v that_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o obstinate_a when_o the_o difference_n be_v only_o about_o the_o resolution_n of_o a_o case_n of_o conscience_n wherein_o wise_a and_o good_a man_n may_v easy_o differ_v and_o be_v then_o a_o case_n of_o conscience_n real_o so_o trivial_a a_o thing_n i_o have_v think_v there_o be_v not_o any_o moral_a action_n and_o consequent_o not_o any_o duty_n of_o a_o christian_a about_o which_o a_o case_n of_o conscience_n may_v not_o one_o time_n or_o other_o arise_v and_o may_v these_o then_o be_v determine_v either_o way_n because_o wise_a and_o good_a man_n may_v so_o easy_o differ_v what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o destroy_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a or_o to_o make_v the_o bound_n so_o movable_a that_o we_o shall_v never_o know_v certain_o where_o to_o find_v they_o i_o shall_v ready_o grant_v that_o when_o the_o matter_n be_v dark_a and_o intricate_a we_o may_v well_o hope_v that_o god_n will_v be_v merciful_a to_o a_o mistake_a person_n but_o if_o a_o case_n of_o conscience_n arise_v let_v man_n differ_v as_o they_o please_v he_o only_o determine_v right_a who_o determine_v with_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o he_o be_v only_o safe_a who_o follow_v that_o determination_n he_o that_o determine_v beside_o or_o against_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n determin_n wrong_v and_o in_o moral_a action_n he_o certain_o do_v ill_a who_o follow_v such_o determination_n however_o merciful_a soever_o god_n upon_o other_o account_n may_v be_v to_o he_o and_o this_o nature_n seem_v to_o have_v teach_v every_o man_n for_o why_o else_o shall_v all_o the_o comfort_n of_o a_o man_n soul_n so_o much_o depend_v upon_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o his_o conscience_n that_o he_o have_v take_v a_o right_a course_n whereas_o it_o be_v the_o easy_a matter_n in_o the_o world_n to_o satisfy_v conscience_n if_o without_o much_o ado_n they_o may_v safe_o submit_v to_o any_o determination_n which_o come_v from_o a_o man_n who_o for_o any_o thing_n we_o know_v may_v be_v wise_a and_o good_n and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o our_o author_n may_v think_v i_o shall_v desire_v he_o henceforward_o to_o speak_v more_o reverendly_a of_o a_o case_n of_o conscience_n lest_o he_o tempt_v a_o loose_a world_n both_o to_o think_v and_o speak_v mean_o of_o our_o employment_n well_o a_o case_n of_o conscience_n it_o be_v though_o a_o shrivel_a one_o but_o the_o oath_n say_v he_o be_v not_o make_v a_o condition_n of_o communion_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v a_o sufficient_a cause_n of_o separation_n now_o i_o can_v have_v tell_v he_o forty_o thing_n which_o they_o be_v not_o and_o if_o he_o shall_v be_v out_o in_o that_o one_o which_o he_o mention_n it_o will_v be_v very_o unlucky_a and_o that_o he_o be_v so_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v present_o in_o its_o proper_a place_n to_o prove_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o can_v tell_v he_o of_o a_o man_n who_o have_v discourse_v much_o of_o term_n of_o communion_n who_o have_v quarrel_v almost_o all_o and_o yet_o never_o fail_v to_o comply_v with_o any_o that_o be_v set_v up_o and_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o tie_v we_o up_o to_o that_o man_n term_n of_o communion_n which_o no_o man_n live_v can_v ever_o yet_o learn_v what_o they_o be_v but_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o a_o tender_a and_o a_o sour_a conscience_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o in_o his_o liberality_n he_o intend_v the_o sour_a conscience_n for_o we_o and_o he_o may_v have_v make_v it_o what_o he_o please_v when_o he_o be_v about_o it_o but_o as_o i_o be_o well_o satisfy_v in_o my_o conscience_n at_o least_o as_o to_o myself_o that_o i_o have_v take_v a_o safe_a course_n in_o this_o matter_n to_o appear_v before_o the_o tribunal_n of_o heaven_n than_o our_o jolly_a swearer_n so_o i_o will_v assure_v this_o author_n that_o if_o he_o have_v no_o better_a physic_n than_o he_o administer_v in_o this_o discourse_n he_o will_v never_o make_v a_o true_a cure_n of_o any_o of_o those_o conscience_n which_o he_o be_v please_v to_o represent_v as_o disease_a and_o sour_a but_o perhaps_o the_o sourness_n may_v lie_v elsewhere_o and_o some_o complain_v of_o the_o light_n when_o the_o fault_n be_v in_o the_o weakness_n of_o their_o eye_n it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a condescension_n in_o our_o author_n but_o to_o suppose_v that_o those_o who_o take_v the_o oath_n may_v be_v to_o blame_v but_o he_o say_v that_o nevertheless_o if_o they_o act_v according_a to_o their_o conscience_n there_o can_v be_v no_o ground_n for_o separation_n unless_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o separate_v from_o all_o such_o who_o follow_v the_o dictate_v of_o a_o erroneous_a conscience_n and_o so_o there_o will_v be_v no_o end_n of_o separation_n and_o indeed_o at_o this_o rate_n there_o will_v be_v no_o end_n of_o trifle_a and_o sophistry_n for_o if_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o separate_v from_o some_o erroneous_a conscience_n why_o must_v it_o needs_o be_v lawful_a to_o separate_v from_o all_o have_v all_o erroneous_a conscience_n a_o equal_a influence_n on_o communion_n and_o good_a manner_n if_o a_o man_n be_v persuade_v that_o the_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n after_o consecration_n be_v real_o transubstantiate_v into_o that_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o suffer_v on_o the_o cross_n and_o according_o shall_v in_o conscience_n adore_v it_o and_o think_v all_o other_o bind_v to_o do_v so_o too_o i_o have_v so_o much_o charity_n for_o our_o author_n as_o to_o think_v he_o will_v not_o join_v in_o communion_n with_o he_o and_o if_o i_o have_v to_o do_v with_o one_o who_o scruple_v eat_v flesh_n on_o friday_n i_o desire_v our_o author_n to_o give_v i_o a_o good_a reason_n why_o i_o shall_v forbear_v communion_n with_o he_o on_o that_o account_n so_o that_o after_o all_o it_o be_v not_o the_o erroneous_a conscience_n but_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n wherein_o conscience_n err_v which_o according_a as_o it_o affect_v communion_n either_o require_v a_o separation_n or_o allow_v a_o continuance_n of_o communion_n and_o of_o which_o nature_n the_o matter_n in_o controversy_n be_v shall_v be_v present_o consider_v and_o then_o perhaps_o i_o may_v help_v he_o to_o imagine_v though_o he_o say_v he_o can_v at_o present_v why_o becanse_o some_o man_n conscience_n be_v so_o tender_a in_o the_o point_n of_o loyalty_n that_o they_o can_v take_v the_o oath_n that_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o tender_a too_o as_o not_o to_o join_v communion_n with_o those_o who_o do_v it_o but_o he_o say_v he_o will_v leave_v general_a reflection_n and_o apply_v himself_o to_o the_o main_a point_n and_o i_o be_o very_o glad_a we_o shall_v come_v to_o it_o for_o here_o i_o intend_v to_o close_v with_o he_o the_o grand_a question_n he_o make_v to_o be_v this_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o reason_n for_o these_o scruple_n about_o the_o oath_n and_o than_o infer_v that_o if_o there_o be_v not_o it_o will_v be_v grant_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n for_o a_o separation_n on_o the_o account_n of_o they_o and_o then_o proceed_v that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o reason_n it_o must_v arise_v either_o from_o the_o continue_a obligation_n of_o the_o former_a oath_n or_o from_o the_o nature_n
