measure_n of_o it_o every_o one_o see_v what_o distraction_n such_o a_o power_n may_v occasion_v and_o therefore_o we_o can_v pay_v too_o great_a a_o veneration_n to_o our_o law_n which_o have_v wise_o provide_v against_o they_o that_o have_v entrust_v this_o power_n with_o the_o prince_n who_o interest_n it_o be_v as_o much_o to_o preserve_v the_o church_n as_o the_o state_n and_o i_o hope_v we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v but_o that_o he_o make_v it_o as_o true_o and_o sincere_o his_o concern_n to_o vindicate_v the_o cause_n of_o religion_n as_o any_o among_o we_o if_o there_o be_v such_o danger_n threaten_v the_o church_n that_o nothing_o but_o a_o convocation_n can_v prevent_v no_o doubt_n but_o he_o will_v think_v it_o a_o great_a obligation_n upon_o he_o to_o call_v one_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o time_n necessary_a man_n heat_n will_v not_o always_o suffer_v it_o and_o if_o it_o shall_v chance_v to_o fire_v their_o temper_n instead_o of_o cool_v they_o it_o will_v be_v then_o very_a prejudicial_a we_o confess_v indeed_o 7._o with_o grotius_n and_o other_o that_o synod_n be_v often_o time_n very_o useful_a to_o the_o order_n and_o government_n of_o the_o church_n yet_o we_o also_o join_v with_o they_o that_o there_o may_v be_v such_o a_o time_n when_o they_o be_v far_o from_o be_v convenient_a discipline_n much_o less_o necessary_a but_o our_o great_a wonder_n be_v at_o the_o boldness_n of_o some_o man_n who_o maintain_v that_o even_o when_o the_o power_n take_v on_o they_o the_o protection_n of_o the_o church_n whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o synod_n may_v lawful_o and_o right_o be_v assemble_v of_o another_o mind_n 23._o say_v vossius_fw-la be_v all_o those_o who_o have_v hitherto_o defend_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o

know_v their_o meaning_n they_o seem_v too_o much_o to_o distrust_v their_o cause_n to_o speak_v plain_a enough_o to_o be_v understand_v if_o they_o mean_v no_o more_o by_o that_o expression_n than_o that_o christ_n have_v so_o constitute_v his_o church_n as_o to_o leave_v a_o power_n of_o government_n with_o the_o bishop_n of_o it_o for_o the_o better_a order_v its_o affair_n who_o according_o may_v either_o by_o consent_n meet_v themselves_o or_o by_o their_o authority_n call_v together_o their_o clergy_n and_o agree_v on_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o order_n of_o it_o this_o be_v what_o in_o state_n not_o christian_a will_v never_o be_v deny_v by_o we_o but_o if_o they_o pretend_v to_o a_o power_n from_o god_n of_o meet_v and_o act_v independent_o on_o the_o

will_v desire_v to_o know_v of_o the_o author_n of_o the_o vindication_n of_o the_o deprive_v bishop_n by_o what_o authority_n either_o from_o the_o scripture_n or_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n he_o will_v oppose_v this_o or_o with_o what_o justice_n he_o can_v so_o severe_o reflect_v on_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o first_o reformer_n for_o be_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n but_o to_o return_v suppose_v we_o shall_v allow_v this_o jus_o divinum_fw-la which_o they_o contend_v for_o yet_o after_o all_o it_o must_v be_v leave_v to_o human_a prudence_n to_o determine_v when_o it_o be_v

without_o it_o it_o be_v insufferable_a thus_o have_v i_o run_v through_o all_o the_o part_n of_o this_o dispute_n about_o a_o convocation_n which_o i_o think_v necessary_a to_o be_v consider_v and_o
