convert_v papist_n i_o do_v think_v fit_a to_o leave_v out_o upon_o these_o two_o ground_n the_o one_o that_o the_o word_n negligent_a be_v too_o general_a a_o expression_n and_o of_o too_o large_a a_o extent_n to_o lay_v a_o minister_n open_a to_o deposition_n and_o if_o church-governor_n to_o who_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o canon_n be_v commit_v shall_v forget_v christian_a moderation_n

but_o with_o suspension_n for_o three_o month_n the_o other_o ground_n why_o i_o omit_v this_o clause_n be_v because_o i_o do_v not_o think_v the_o church_n of_o scotland_n or_o any_o other_o particular_a church_n be_v so_o bless_a in_o her_o priest_n as_o that_o every_o of_o her_o minister_n be_v for_o learning_n and_o judgement_n and_o temper_v able_a and_o fit_a to_o convert_v papist_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v think_v then_o and_o do_v think_v yet_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a a_o work_n or_o to_o be_v make_v so_o common_a but_o that_o it_o be_v and_o may_v be_v much_o fit_a for_o some_o able_a select_a man_n to_o undertake_v and_o if_o any_o man_n think_v god_n gift_n in_o he_o to_o be_v neglect_v as_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o overvalue_v themselves_o let_v they_o

performance_n hurt_v the_o cause_n and_o blemish_v the_o church_n the_o
second_o particular_a be_v a_o excellent_a one_o it_o be_v about_o the_o adoration_n of_o the_o bread_n in_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n cap._n 6._o 6._o and_o it_o be_v employ_v as_o if_o this_o

the_o truth_n be_v this_o we_o do_v think_v fit_a to_o leave_v out_o because_o the_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o baptism_n in_o the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o the_o church_n leave_v god_n as_o he_o be_v

be_v via_fw-la regni_fw-la non_fw-la causa_fw-la regnandi_fw-la now_o i_o conceive_v both_o these_o passage_n may_v be_v leave_v out_o of_o this_o canon_n without_o any_o wicked_a intention_n in_o either_o canterbury_n or_o ross_n against_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n but_o let_v the_o charge_n proceed_v here_o ross_n give_v his_o judgement_n that_o he_o will_v have_v this_o canon_n simple_o command_v good_a work_n to_o be_v preach_v and_o no_o mention_n make_v what_o place_n they_o have_v or_o have_v not_o in_o justification_n upon_o this_o motion_n so_o agreeable_a to_o

and_o for_o fear_v more_o shall_v be_v attribute_v to_o they_o than_o be_v fit_a refuse_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o which_o be_v due_a unto_o they_o but_o sure_o i_o be_o there_o be_v a_o command_n and_o more_o than_o one_o express_o in_o the_o text_n for_o the_o do_v of_o good_a work_n and_o that_o without_o any_o distinction_n and_o so_o i_o conceive_v the_o scripture_n be_v warrant_n enough_o for_o this_o canon_n to_o command_v the_o preach_a of_o good_a work_n even_o without_o any_o distinction_n at_o all_o whatsoever_o since_o god_n have_v so_o absolute_o and_o so_o express_o command_v that_o we_o shall_v serve_v he_o in_o good_a work_n to_o which_o 12_o moses_n and_o 16._o christ_n the_o 20._o prophet_n and_o 12._o apostle_n do_v sufficient_o bear_v witness_n but_o it_o seem_v these_o man_n have_v very_o good_a intelligence_n that_o when_o i_o look_v over_o these_o canon_n which_o i_o protest_v i_o do_v alone_o by_o myself_o and_o then_o send_v they_o to_o my_o lord_n the_o

according_a to_o canterbury_n mind_n so_o it_o go_v where_o yet_o i_o shall_v humble_o crave_v leave_n to_o observe_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v that_o if_o this_o be_v true_a that_o ross_n will_v have_v these_o thing_n out_o then_o one_o of_o their_o own_o prelate_n and_o he_o trust_v from_o the_o rest_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o omission_n and_o so_o canterbury_n be_v neither_o master_n of_o the_o work_n nor_o be_v all_o thing_n in_o it_o do_v by_o he_o and_o no_o other_o as_o be_v before_o affirm_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o second_o novation_n the_o other_o thing_n be_v the_o omission_n itself_o of_o which_o i_o shall_v say_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v that_o if_o ross_n do_v give_v that_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v fit_v that_o canon_n shall_v command_v the_o preach_a of_o good_a work_n in_o general_a because_o it_o be_v a_o time_n of_o such_o profaneness_n as_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o canon_n i_o for_o my_o part_n can_v but_o approve_v it_o the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o leave_v out_o of_o that_o know_v say_v of_o st._n bernard_n i_o humble_o conceive_v be_v no_o fault_n either_o in_o myself_o or_o any_o other_o for_o though_o the_o
