majority_n take_v it_o the_o force_n of_o his_o reason_n depend_v upon_o this_o proposition_n that_o a_o oath_n take_v by_o a_o vast_a munitude_n must_v needs_o be_v obligatory_a and_o be_v it_o necessary_a to_o read_v all_o the_o casnistical_a book_n of_o divinity_n to_o confute_v so_o manifest_a a_o falsehood_n in_o popish_a country_n many_o million_o do_v take_v monastic_a vow_n and_o all_o the_o clergy_n swear_v obedience_n to_o the_o pope_n and_o may_v not_o a_o ordinary_a casuist_n declare_v understand_o that_o none_o of_o they_o be_v bind_v by_o those_o vow_n and_o oath_n

not_o a_o sufficient_a humiliation_n to_o which_o this_o minister_n have_v call_v i_o to_o be_v bind_v to_o answer_v such_o absurdity_n 3._o he_o urge_v that_o by_o the_o covenant_n all_o person_n be_v bind_v in_o their_o place_n to_o endeavour_v a_o reformation_n of_o the_o church_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o example_n of_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n and_o he_o ask_v be_v this_o a_o unlawful_a oath_n i_o answer_v the_o question_n be_v deceitful_a a_o man_n hind_n himself_o by_o oath_n to_o serve_v god_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o he_o ask_v be_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o serve_v god_n be_v this_o a_o unlawful_a oath_n thus_o the_o covenanter_n do_v swear_v to_o endeavour_v reformation_n art_n 1._o and_o to_o extirpate_v episcopacy_n art_n 2._o but_o this_o minister_n mention_n reformation_n only_o and_o then_o impertinent_o demand_v be_v this_o oath_n unlawful_a i_o be_o ready_a to_o maintain_v against_o he_o that_o a_o oath_n to_o serve_v the_o devil_n be_v not_o more_o unlawful_a than_o a_o oath_n to_o destroy_v episcopacy_n and_o that_o upon_o this_o ground_n because_o it_o be_v of_o apostolical_a institution_n there_o be_v many_o other_o thing_n unlawful_a in_o that_o covenant_n as_o any_o one_o may_v be_v satisfy_v by_o the_o unanswerable_a reason_n of_o the_o university_n of_o oxford_n against_o it_o and_o therefore_o if_o this_o minister_n will_v prove_v it_o lawful_a let_v he_o justify_v it_o throughout_o and_o not_o fly_v to_o such_o method_n as_o may_v serve_v to_o justify_v the_o most_o execrable_a oath_n that_o can_v be_v by_o produce_v one_o single_a passage_n that_o may_v seem_v justifiable_a in_o they_o but_o thus_o he_o proceed_v if_o a_o man_n shall_v swear_v that_o in_o his_o place_n and_o call_v he_o will_v endeavour_v to_o cast_v every_o idol_n out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o what_o be_v the_o consequence_n of_o this_o terrible_a if_o why_o true_o nothing_o at_o all_o but_o he_o filly_n add_v that_o in_o

be_v his_o meaning_n that_o episcopacy_n be_v idolatry_n i_o account_v of_o he_o as_o one_o of_o the_o incurable_a fanatical_a roul_n that_o call_v every_o thing_n idol_n or_o antichrist_n that_o

wish_v for_o it_o be_v wonderful_a to_o consider_v what_o work_n he_o make_v with_o this_o passage_n but_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o believe_v he_o never_o read_v it_o in_o the_o liturgy_n it_o be_v long_o since_o a_o old_a conceit_n of_o the_o nonconformist_n 331._o nonconformist_n vid._n hooker_n p._n 331._o that_o the_o primitive_a discipline_n which_o be_v so_o much_o wish_v for_o by_o the_o

in_o the_o ancient_a church_n be_v inflict_v upon_o such_o as_o stand_v convict_v of_o notorious_a sin_n at_o the_o begin_n of_o lent_n in_o order_n to_o their_o absolution_n and_o admission_n to_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n at_o easter_n what_o can_v be_v more_o express_a and_o evident_a than_o that_o the_o ancient_n leut_fw-fr discipline_n be_v there_o alone_o intend_a and_o have_v the_o

they_o not_o always_o write_v and_o preach_v against_o it_o do_v they_o not_o still_o exclaim_v at_o it_o as_o popery_n and_o superstition_n but_o this_o minister_n pronounce_v confident_o that_o

discipline_n be_v a_o condemnation_n to_o they_o who_o have_v always_o desire_v it_o and_o justification_n to_o they_o who_o have_v always_o oppose_v it_o and_o if_o nonconformist_n must_v needs_o
