yet_o promise_v a_o answer_n m.s._n his_o first_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o five_o minister_n aim_v at_o no_o separation_n but_o as_o their_o brethren_n the_o scot_n do_v from_o prelatical_a coaction_n a.s._n if_o it_o be_v only_o from_o prelatical_a coaction_n wherefore_o separate_v they_o themselves_o from_o their_o brethren_n the_o scot_n their_o sacramental_a communion_n and_o the_o scot_n from_o they_o if_o they_o separate_v not_o themselves_o from_o we_o wherefore_o be_v they_o suitor_n for_o a_o toleration_n or_o approbation_n of_o their_o religion_n since_o we_o be_v already_o tolerate_v and_o approve_v as_o appear_v in_o the_o french_a italian_a and_o spanish_a church_n in_o this_o kingdom_n neither_o be_v you_o compel_v to_o be_v actor_n in_o any_o thing_n against_o your_o conscience_n as_o your_o brethren_n be_v by_o bishop_n m.s._n he_o say_v the_o church_n from_o which_o the_o five_o minister_n will_v separate_v testify_v a_o great_a desire_n to_o reform_v defect_n yet_o say_v he_o those_o defect_n be_v but_o pretend_v a.s._n our_o meaning_n be_v to_o reform_v defect_n if_o any_o there_o be_v such_o as_o we_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v in_o manner_n as_o among_o you_o also_o or_o in_o the_o administration_n of_o discipline_n as_o may_v be_v among_o we_o all_o but_o as_o for_o any_o defect_n in_o the_o principal_a part_n of_o our_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n we_o see_v none_o as_o yet_o that_o we_o travel_v not_o to_o reform_v but_o believe_v such_o as_o he_o object_n we_o in_o they_o to_o be_v rather_o pretend_v then_o real_a neither_o can_v we_o or_o shall_v we_o judge_v they_o to_o be_v any_o other_o thing_n but_o pretend_v till_o he_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o they_o be_v real_a will_v he_o that_o we_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v real_a because_o that_o he_o only_o say_v so_o but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o first_o untruth_n have_v fall_v from_o his_o pen._n m.s._n he_o will_v have_v the_o five_o minister_n quit_v the_o assembly_n a.s._n this_o m.s._n suppose_n that_o this_o last_o proposition_n cross_v my_o supposition_n but_o they_o may_v stay_v in_o the_o church_n to_o reform_v abuse_n if_o there_o be_v any_o real_o as_o it_o be_v pretend_v by_o the_o independent_o and_o live_v out_o of_o the_o assembly_n as_o many_o other_o who_o be_v no_o way_n their_o inferior_n neither_o say_v i_o that_o i_o wish_v they_o to_o be_v out_o of_o the_o assembly_n only_o i_o propound_v a_o question_n whether_o in_o consequence_n of_o the_o publish_n of_o their_o apology_n they_o shall_v not_o resolve_v themselves_o to_o quit_v the_o assembly_n now_o courtcous_a and_o conscientious_a reader_n be_v thou_o judge_v i_o pray_v thou_o whether_o this_o man_n have_v answer_v any_o of_o my_o question_n yea_o or_o not_o which_o be_v all_o the_o main_a point_n here_o to_o be_v debate_v quest_n i._o whether_o it_o have_v not_o be_v honest_a and_o fair_a deal_n to_o have_v add_v the_o

because_o it_o make_v it_o appear_v more_o probable_o to_o the_o world_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o libel_n 3._o and_o that_o it_o contain_v nothing_o against_o the_o law_n 4._o because_o the_o name_n of_o the_o author_n give_v authority_n to_o the_o book_n if_o he_o be_v either_o learned_a or_o honest_a and_o the_o omission_n thereof_o may_v cut_v off_o the_o authority_n of_o it_o and_o bring_v

much_o ado_n to_o the_o magistrate_n to_o find_v out_o the_o author_n to_o censure_v and_o punish_v he_o condign_o according_a to_o his_o demerit_n 6._o because_o the_o holy_a writer_n do_v so_o and_o if_o their_o name_n be_v omit_v in_o some_o book_n we_o know_v not_o whether_o it_o be_v with_o their_o consent_n or_o whether_o they_o do_v not_o put_v to_o their_o name_n howbeit_o not_o in_o quality_n of_o canonical_a scripture_n or_o peradventure_o it_o be_v because_o they_o be_v not_o the_o author_n but_o as_o it_o be_v god_n secretary_n or_o scribe_n for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n dictate_v they_o what_o they_o have_v to_o write_v 7._o because_o it_o hinder_v man_n from_o be_v deceive_v in_o their_o money_n for_o sundry_a time_n man_n because_o of_o specious_a title_n put_v before_o book_n buy_v they_o and_o afterward_o find_v nothing_o worth_a their_o money_n 8._o the_o add_v of_o the_o name_n of_o the_o author_n and_o of_o the_o licencer_n with_o the_o licence_n will_v hinder_v the_o common_a people_n to_o be_v deceive_v in_o read_v of_o heretical_a and_o unsound_a in_o stead_n of_o orthodox_n and_o sound_a book_n so_o that_o this_o be_v consider_v this_o author_n shall_v have_v do_v better_a that_o he_o have_v add_v his_o name_n and_o the_o licence_n to_o his_o book_n quest_n ii_o whether_o mr._n cranford_n may_v not_o just_o licence_n a.s._n his_o consid_fw-la and_o answer_v to_o the_o libel_n etc._n etc._n i_o sustain_v the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o question_n and_o deny_v the_o second_o as_o for_o the_o first_o it_o be_v evident_a 1._o because_o it_o be_v conform_v to_o god_n word_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o 2._o because_o that_o answer_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o apology_n for_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o

refuse_v not_o one_o another_o to_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o sacrament_n 5._o because_o that_o a_o bishop_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o commissioner_n from_o england_n at_o the_o synod_n of_o
