A40710	The grand case of the present ministry whether they may lawfully declare and subscribe, as by the late Act of vniformity is required and the several cases, thence arising (more especially about the Covenant) are clearly stated and faithfully resolved / by the same indifferent hand ; with an addition to his former Cases of conscience, hereunto subjoyned.	Fullwood, Francis, d. 1693.	1662 (1662)	Wing F2505; ESTC R21218	59,550	206

these_o nothing_o prevail_v what_o shall_v we_o say_v to_o these_o thing_n if_o it_o be_v sinful_a to_o conform_v declare_v wherein_o if_o not_o but_o some_o small_a matter_n hinder_v we_o i_o can_v

a_o unlawful_a oath_n and_o impose_v upon_o the_o subject_n of_o this_o realm_n against_o the_o know_a law_n and_o liberty_n of_o this_o kingdom_n these_o be_v the_o declaration_n we_o proceed_v to_o

these_o declaration_n resol_n this_o declaration_n have_v two_o branch_n the_o first_o be_v about_o the_o liturgy_n the_o last_o about_o the_o book_n of_o ordination_n 1._o touch_v the_o liturgy_n we_o be_v to_o declare_v in_o these_o word_n i_o do_v here_o declare_v my_o unfeigned_a assent_n and_o consent_v to_o all_o and_o every_o thing_n contain_v and_o preseribe_v in_o and_o by_o the_o say_a book_n entitle_v the_o book_n of_o common-prayer_n etc._n etc._n 2._o touch_v the_o book_n of_o ordination_n we_o be_v to_o declare_v in_o these_o word_n and_o the_o form_n or_o manner_n of_o make_v ordain_v and_o consecrate_v of_o bishop_n priest_n and_o deacon_n 3._o now_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o ask_v what_o can_v possible_o render_v it_o unlawful_a for_o such_o as_o can_v conform_v without_o it_o for_o such_o i_o deal_v with_o thus_o to_o declare_v 4._o as_o for_o the_o latter_a branch_n touch_v the_o form_n or_o manner_n of_o make_v ordain_v and_o conseerate_v bishop_n priest_n and_o deacon_n this_o most_o that_o have_v live_n have_v subscribe_v already_o at_o their_o ordination_n and_o read_v their_o allowance_n of_o open_o to_o their_o several_a congregation_n upon_o their_o induction_n beside_o have_v not_o this_o be_v require_v in_o the_o act_n who_o know_v not_o that_o no_o conformity_n without_o subscribe_v and_o read_v the_o nine_o and_o thirty_o article_n in_o one_o of_o which_o we_o declare_v the_o same_o can_v legal_o suffice_v yea_o who_o see_v not_o the_o weakness_n of_o such_o a_o pretence_n of_o future_a conformity_n if_o this_o part_n of_o the_o declaration_n have_v not_o be_v require_v which_o indeed_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n nor_o such_o as_o any_o one_o without_o self-abuse_n or_o self-delusion_n can_v possible_o expect_v shall_v not_o still_o be_v require_v or_o true_o i_o think_v without_o dissimulation_n or_o abuse_n of_o the_o world_n can_v say_v they_o intend_v to_o have_v conform_v have_v not_o this_o be_v require_v 5._o but_o i_o perceive_v the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o declaration_n touch_v the_o liturgy_n bear_v the_o great_a burden_n of_o exception_n the_o word_n be_v i_o do_v here_o declare_v my_o unfeigned_a assent_n and_o consent_n to_o all_o and_o every_o thing_n contain_v and_o prescribe_v in_o and_o by_o the_o book_n entitle_v the_o book_n of_o common-prayer_n etc._n etc._n 6._o but_o do_v you_o indeed_o intend_v to_o have_v form_v have_v not_o this_o declaration_n be_v require_v what_o can_v hinder_v you_o thus_o to_o declare_v viz._n that_o you_o do_v assent_n and_o consent_n to_o that_o which_o yourselves_o do_v intend_v to_o practice_n and_o that_o this_o your_o assent_n and_o consent_n to_o your_o own_o intend_a practice_n be_v not_o hypocritical_a but_o unfeigned_a certain_o this_o be_v all_o that_o be_v here_o require_v 7._o perhaps_o the_o long_a title_n of_o the_o book_n affright_v we_o but_o if_o there_o be_v more_o than_o in_o the_o book_n we_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o that_o for_o we_o be_v only_o to_o declare_v for_o every_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o book_n but_o if_o there_o be_v not_o than_o we_o that_o embrace_v the_o substance_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o be_v scare_v with_o the_o shadow_n or_o to_o scruple_n at_o that_o in_o the_o title_n which_o we_o can_v use_v in_o the_o book_n object_n 1._o it_o be_v object_v that_o there_o be_v several_a expression_n in_o the_o book_n of_o common-prayer_n that_o though_o we_o can_v safe_o read_v they_o yet_o we_o do_v not_o so_o hearty_o like_a and_o approve_v they_o as_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v require_v to_o declare_v answ_n 1._o do_v not_o force_v a_o edge_n upon_o the_o word_n to_o wound_v yourselves_o look_v well_o upon_o the_o declaration_n and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o the_o object_n of_o your_o assent_n and_o consent_n be_v not_o the_o word_n but_o thing_n not_o every_o word_n but_o every_o thing_n not_o every_o thing_n as_o there_o express_v but_o every_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o expression_n and_o prescribe_v in_o and_o by_o the_o book_n of_o common-prayer_n 2._o yet_o if_o you_o can_v conform_v to_o the_o book_n i_o hope_v you_o can_v read_v the_o word_n and_o if_o so_o i_o hope_v you_o can_v assent_v and_o consent_v unfeigned_o to_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o action_n which_o yourselves_o perform_v and_o this_o be_v all_o as_o more_o full_o i_o shall_v show_v present_o that_o be_v here_o require_v of_o you_o to_o declare_v object_n 2._o but_o though_o we_o can_v use_v the_o thing_n yet_o it_o be_v only_o for_o peace_n sake_n and_o obedience_n to_o authority_n etc._n etc._n and_o not_o because_o we_o will_v choose_v or_o can_v absolute_o approve_v of_o the_o thing_n in_o themselves_o answ_n we_o may_v approve_v a_o thing_n absolute_o as_o be_v hint_v in_o the_o objection_n and_o comparative_o or_o respective_o 1._o that_o we_o shall_v absolute_o approve_v of_o every_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o book_n of_o common-prayer_n as_o that_o which_o we_o will_v choose_v above_o all_o other_o and_o as_o best_a in_o itself_o we_o
