whether_o any_o of_o your_o minister_n ever_o read_v one_o portion_n of_o scripture_n but_o what_o be_v either_o design_v for_o a_o text_n to_o a_o lecture_n or_o sermon_n or_o a_o quotation_n if_o

he_o censure_v p._n 83._o as_o a_o gross_a and_o shameless_a accusation_n and_o advance_v it_o as_o a_o know_a truth_n that_o the_o great_a mystery_n and_o principle_n of_o the_o christian_a

i_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v 1._o that_o the_o great_a mystery_n of_o our_o religion_n be_v the_o conception_n birth_n passion_n resurrection_n ascension_n and_o final_a come_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o judge_v the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a together_o with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n in_o who_o name_n we_o be_v baptize_v and_o the_o descent_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 2._o that_o we_o in_o our_o church_n have_v a_o certain_a time_n appoint_v we_o every_o year_n for_o the_o teach_v each_o of_o these_o and_o our_o minister_n do_v profess_o handle_v each_o of_o they_o in_o their_o discourse_n on_o these_o time_n so_o that_o every_o one_o who_o desire_v to_o be_v inform_v concern_v they_o be_v sure_a at_o a_o certain_a time_n of_o the_o year_n to_o have_v a_o full_a discourse_n in_o every_o parish_n on_o each_o of_o they_o in_o order_n to_o the_o explain_v and_o inculcate_v they_o with_o the_o use_n and_o effect_n 3._o as_o to_o your_o minister_n there_o lie_v no_o obligation_n on_o they_o to_o go_v through_o these_o mystery_n in_o any_o such_o time_n nor_o indeed_o in_o their_o whole_a life_n and_o whereas_o mr._n boyse_n allege_v p._n 83._o that_o the_o directory_n require_v that_o ordinary_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o minister_n sermon_n shall_v be_v some_o text_n of_o scripture_n hold_v forth_o some_o principal_a or_o head_n of_o religion_n this_o obligation_n be_v take_v off_o by_o the_o follow_a word_n which_o be_v these_o or_o suitable_a to_o some_o special_a occasion_n emergent_a or_o he_o may_v go_v on_o in_o some_o chapter_n psalm_n or_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o he_o shall_v think_v fit_a from_o whence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o directory_n lay_v no_o obligation_n on_o your_o minister_n to_o handle_v profess_o any_o of_o these_o mystery_n and_o that_o you_o have_v no_o security_n other_o than_o the_o pleasure_n of_o your_o minister_n that_o you_o shall_v ever_o learn_v from_o their_o public_a teach_v all_o the_o mystery_n of_o your_o religion_n but_o four_o i_o have_v examine_v and_o put_v it_o to_o many_o of_o your_o persuasion_n whether_o they_o ever_o hear_v any_o minister_n of_o you_o that_o profess_o make_v a_o whole_a discourse_n on_o the_o trinity_n conception_n nativity_n resurrection_n or_o ascension_n of_o our_o saviour_n or_o on_o his_o send_v down_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o i_o do_v profess_v that_o i_o never_o yet_o among_o many_o meet_v one_o man_n that_o can_v satisfy_v i_o in_o this_o point_n or_o assure_v i_o that_o his_o minister_n have_v do_v it_o which_o show_v how_o dangerous_a a_o matter_n it_o be_v to_o leave_v these_o thing_n to_o man_n choice_n i_o hearty_o desire_v you_o that_o read_v this_o to_o recollect_v your_o memory_n and_o examine_v your_o own_o conscience_n and_o say_v whether_o your_o minister_n do_v once_o every_o year_n handle_v profess_o each_o of_o these_o mystery_n as_o we_o do_v and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o judge_v whether_o it_o be_v true_a that_o mr._n boyse_n assert_n p._n 84._o that_o the_o peculiar_a mystery_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v so_o much_o more_o frequent_o inculcate_v in_o your_o sermon_n than_o we_o as_o have_v occasion_v some_o of_o you_o to_o reproach_v we_o as_o preach_v little_a but_o morality_n these_o i_o be_o sure_o be_v the_o great_a mystery_n peculiar_a to_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o they_o be_v profess_o and_o indispensable_o teach_v in_o our_o church_n once_o every_o year_n what_o ground_n can_v there_o then_o be_v to_o accuse_v we_o of_o teach_v little_a but_o morality_n 5._o as_o to_o mr_n boyse'_v excuse_v for_o you_o in_o this_o behalf_n that_o there_o be_v no_o scriptural_a rule_n or_o example_n prescribe_v to_o ordinary_a teacher_n the_o exact_a order_n in_o which_o they_o shall_v explain_v the_o mystery_n of_o christian_a religion_n to_o the_o people_n i_o will_v desire_v you_o to_o observe_v that_o the_o scripture_n oblige_v we_o to_o teach_v they_o all_o these_o the_o whole_a council_n of_o god_n and_o the_o same_o oblige_v we_o to_o do_v this_o and_o all_o other_o religious_a performance_n in_o order_n 14.40_o or_o according_a to_o a_o order_n there_o ought_v therefore_o to_o be_v in_o every_o church_n a_o order_n whereby_o every_o teacher_n may_v be_v oblige_v to_o teach_v they_o all_o in_o a_o competent_a time_n as_o it_o be_v in_o our_o church_n and_o the_o directory_n have_v manifest_o fail_v in_o this_o have_v make_v no_o such_o order_n but_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o discretion_n of_o every_o minister_n whether_o he_o will_v make_v any_o of_o these_o mystery_n his_o subject_n in_o his_o whole_a life_n and_o some_o have_v be_v so_o indiscreet_a as_o to_o preach_v for_o half_a a_o year_n nay_o a_o whole_a year_n on_o the_o same_o
