A29616	A perswasive to reformation and union as the best security against the designs of our popish enemies	Brokesby, Francis, 1637-1714.	1680 (1680)	Wing B4844; ESTC R11932	21,237	35

the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n in_o all_o age_n and_o place_n from_o the_o apostle_n time_n or_o however_o the_o next_o age_n after_o they_o have_v use_v form_n and_o liturgy_n till_o some_o few_o of_o late_a among_o ourselves_o have_v condemn_v they_o how_o protestant_a church_n beyond_o the_o sea_n use_v they_o be_v too_o well_o know_v to_o be_v here_o insist_v on_o about_o this_o therefore_o i_o will_v only_o entreat_v you_o to_o consider_v 1_o whether_o any_o christian_a when_o he_o beg_v god_n blessing_n on_o his_o meat_n in_o the_o same_o word_n he_o have_v use_v former_o or_o render_v thanks_o to_o god_n after_o his_o meal_n in_o that_o form_n or_o those_o expression_n he_o have_v aforetime_o use_v be_v he_o for_o this_o guilty_a of_o sin_v against_o god_n this_o must_v follow_v if_o the_o use_n of_o form_n of_o prayer_n be_v sinful_a 2._o if_o our_o nonconforming_a brethren_n use_v the_o same_o expression_n or_o the_o same_o method_n do_v this_o involve_v they_o in_o guilt_n 3._o consider_v if_o form_n be_v unlawful_a it_o be_v impossible_a that_o christian_n shall_v join_v together_o in_o the_o same_o public_a prayer_n to_o god_n in_o that_o whatever_o prayer_n be_v utter_v though_o it_o be_v extempore_o in_o reference_n to_o he_o that_o speak_v it_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o form_n to_o they_o that_o join_v with_o he_o therein_o they_o be_v tie_v up_o to_o his_o word_n it_o will_v not_o be_v enough_o for_o any_o to_o make_v this_o a_o plea_n for_o their_o separation_n that_o it_o be_v require_v of_o minister_n to_o use_v the_o surplice_n and_o the_o cross_n after_o baptism_n suppose_v they_o be_v not_o satisfy_v of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o they_o much_o less_o those_o declaration_n and_o subscription_n which_o be_v require_v of_o minister_n for_o though_o these_o be_v require_v in_o order_n to_o the_o exercise_v of_o their_o ministry_n yet_o be_v they_o not_o require_v as_o condition_n of_o communion_n with_o we_o hence_o our_o nonconforming_a brethren_n may_v acquit_v themselves_o to_o god_n and_o their_o own_o conscience_n if_o upon_o sincere_a endeavour_n use_v they_o can_v satisfy_v their_o judgement_n to_o do_v those_o thing_n and_o therefore_o lie_v aside_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o ministry_n nay_o further_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o cause_v we_o to_o judge_v and_o act_v charitable_o towards_o they_o while_o we_o find_v they_o in_o other_o thing_n conscientious_o submit_v to_o authority_n i_o will_v further_o add_v that_o when_o we_o find_v many_o such_o this_o shall_v cause_v we_o to_o desire_v if_o it_o may_v seem_v good_a to_o our_o superior_n that_o some_o mean_n may_v be_v contrive_v for_o the_o admittance_n of_o such_o to_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o ministerial_a function_n yet_o on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o those_o subscription_n &c_n &c_n be_v not_o require_v of_o they_o as_o condition_n of_o communion_n with_o we_o this_o can_v justify_v they_o or_o any_o other_o private_a christian_n in_o their_o separate_n from_o our_o assembly_n much_o less_o in_o their_o set_n up_o congregation_n in_o opposition_n to_o we_o if_o our_o brethren_n conscience_n will_v not_o permit_v they_o to_o subscribe_v etc._n etc._n do_v their_o conscience_n forbid_v they_o to_o join_v in_o our_o prayer_n however_o to_o attend_v on_o the_o preach_a of_o our_o minister_n in_o order_n to_o which_o no_o such_o condition_n be_v require_v of_o they_o have_v a_o little_a go_v beyond_o my_o first_o intention_n viz._n to_o speak_v only_o to_o private_a christian_n i_o will_v take_v leave_n brief_o to_o answer_v one_o objection_n that_o be_v make_v in_o behalf_n of_o our_o nonconforming_a brethren_n if_o we_o shall_v do_v thus_o we_o must_v hide_v our_o talent_n in_o a_o napkin_n live_v unsuitable_o to_o that_o office_n we_o be_v call_v to_o be_v unprofitable_a and_o unserviceable_a in_o our_o generation_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o will_v not_o repeat_v what_o nonconformist_n have_v in_o this_o case_n answer_v when_o urge_v by_o the_o brownist_n especial_o that_o publish_v by_o mr._n rathband_n and_o recite_v in_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o friendly_a debate_n pag._n 183._o that_o the_o bishop_n act_n be_v the_o act_n of_o the_o church_n that_o it_o lie_v in_o they_o to_o depose_v that_o may_v ordain_v etc._n etc._n but_o this_o i_o say_v first_o that_o as_o many_o have_v so_o more_o might_n improve_v their_o ability_n to_o the_o advantage_n of_o god_n church_n by_o their_o useful_a write_n other_o may_v be_v high_o beneficial_a if_o in_o their_o private_a converse_n they_o instruct_v the_o ignorant_a resolve_v the_o doubt_n of_o they_o that_o be_v under_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n and_o the_o like_a pious_a office_n which_o they_o be_v not_o forbid_v by_o the_o law_n 2._o i_o add_v suppose_v our_o superior_n permit_v it_o they_o may_v preach_v public_o in_o some_o part_n of_o this_o kingdom_n which_o be_v ill-provided_n with_o minister_n as_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o a_o worthy_a person_n who_o thus_o employ_v himself_o in_o wales_n and_o not_o in_o great_a place_n that_o be_v well_o furnish_v with_o preacher_n as_o their_o preach_n in_o such_o place_n may_v be_v beneficial_a so_o their_o undertake_n will_v be_v approve_v by_o most_o connive_v at_o by_o all_o 3._o if_o they_o preach_v in_o other_o place_n be_v there_o any_o necessity_n in_o order_n to_o the_o employ_v their_o gift_n that_o they_o preach_v at_o those_o time_n when_o our_o public_a assembly_n be_v hold_v for_o god_n worship_n or_o be_v they_o hence_o constrain_v to_o set_v up_o congregation_n in_o opposition_n to_o we_o if_o god_n require_v of_o they_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n do_v he_o also_o require_v of_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v by_o their_o practice_n oppose_v and_o defy_v the_o congregation_n of_o god_n people_n that_o be_v legal_o establish_v last_o can_v they_o use_v their_o talon_n of_o preach_v without_o administer_a the_o sacrament_n in_o another_o charge_n and_o without_o withdraw_a member_n from_o the_o flock_n of_o other_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o old_a nonconformist_n abhor_v these_o practice_n and_o condemn_v they_o in_o the_o brownist_n and_o we_o know_v who_o be_v offend_v at_o such_o thing_n in_o late_a day_n when_o they_o be_v minister_n of_o parochial_a church_n i_o wish_v they_o will_v consider_v whether_o those_o argument_n they_o then_o use_v against_o other_o be_v not_o now_o of_o like_a force_n against_o themselves_o but_o leave_v this_o digression_n i_o return_v to_o the_o plea_n which_o people_n make_v for_o their_o separation_n and_o here_o i_o again_o say_v that_o when_o there_o be_v no_o declaration_n or_o subscription_n require_v of_o private_a christian_n as_o condition_n of_o their_o communion_n these_o thing_n be_v unjust_o urge_v as_o reason_n of_o their_o separation_n as_o also_o the_o pretence_n of_o the_o surplice_n when_o that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v wear_v by_o you_o nor_o the_o cross_n after_o baptism_n to_o be_v use_v by_o you_o how_o can_v these_o then_o be_v ground_n for_o you_o to_o forsake_v we_o as_o for_o kneel_v at_o the_o lord_n supper_n i_o know_v indeed_o this_o be_v require_v as_o a_o gesture_n in_o that_o ordinance_n but_o certain_o unjust_o except_v against_o for_o what_o law_n of_o god_n forbid_v this_o or_o require_v any_o other_o gesture_n if_o christ_n example_n oblige_v we_o it_o equal_o oblige_v we_o to_o celebrate_v the_o ordinance_n after_o supper_n in_o a_o upper_a room_n and_o clothe_v with_o a_o seamless_a coat_n if_o we_o be_v oblige_v by_o christ_n example_n than_o we_o be_v tie_v to_o the_o particular_a gesture_n which_o christ_n use_v and_o that_o be_v the_o tricliniary_a gesture_n lie_v on_o a_o bed_n etc._n etc._n as_o for_o those_o that_o except_o against_o this_o gesture_n as_o if_o herein_o we_o comply_v with_o the_o papist_n in_o adore_v the_o host_n these_o person_n if_o learned_a speak_v against_o their_o own_o knowledge_n in_o that_o the_o adoration_n the_o papist_n pay_v to_o the_o eucharist_n be_v their_o fall_n down_o when_o the_o priest_n lift_v up_o the_o host_n in_o the_o consecration_n of_o it_o when_o withal_o the_o church_n of_o england_n profess_v in_o the_o rubric_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o communion_n service_n that_o this_o be_v only_o mean_v for_o a_o humble_a and_o grateful_a acknowledgement_n of_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n and_o declare_v that_o thereby_o no_o adoration_n be_v intend_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v do_v either_o unto_o the_o sacramental_a bread_n and_o wine_n there_o bodily_a receive_v or_o unto_o any_o corporal_a presence_n of_o christ_n natural_a flesh_n and_o blood_n that_o be_v idolatry_n to_o be_v abhor_v of_o all_o faithful_a christian_n read_v the_o rest_n i_o will_v only_o speak_v to_o one_o thing_n more_o which_o be_v the_o chief_a ground_n why_o many_o well-meaning_a person_n desert_n we_o we_o can_v profit_v more_o
