review_v of_o these_o and_o the_o like_a expression_n find_v our_o assent_n and_o consent_n be_v require_v to_o those_o word_n which_o without_o form_v a_o edge_n to_o wound_v ourselves_o do_v contain_v and_o prescribe_v thing_n to_o which_o no_o rational_a man_n in_o his_o right_a mind_n can_v declare_v the_o same_o 20._o we_o now_o proceed_v to_o consider_v another_o objection_n which_o you_o slate_n and_o resolve_n in_o this_o case_n viz._n though_o we_o can_v use_v the_o thing_n 2_o pa._n 7._o objection_n 2_o it_o be_v only_o for_o peace_n sake_n and_o in_o obedience_n to_o authority_n and_o not_o that_o we_o will_v choose_v or_o can_v absolute_o approve_v of_o these_o thing_n indifferent_a to_o this_o sir_n you_o tell_v we_o we_o may_v not_o approve_v absolute_o but_o comparative_o the_o first_o you_o say_v in_o charity_n to_o our_o governor_n we_o conceive_v to_o be_v require_v in_o the_o declaration_n 8_o pag_n 8_o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a all_o man_n shall_v in_o so_o many_o particulars_n and_o various_a circumstance_n be_v of_o one_o mind_n but_o sir_n 21._o we_o humble_o conceive_v we_o do_v not_o break_v charity_n to_o our_o governor_n if_o we_o conclude_v that_o they_o know_v all_o man_n can_v not_o in_o so_o many_o particulars_n and_o various_a circumstance_n be_v of_o one_o mind_n and_o believe_v unanimity_n to_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o uniformity_n do_v determine_v to_o knock_v off_o from_o public_a ministration_n in_o the_o church_n all_o who_o be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o mind_n and_o who_o will_v not_o declare_v the_o same_o in_o such_o word_n as_o be_v by_o they_o prescribe_v 22._o true_o sir_n we_o see_v very_o little_a cause_n to_o believe_v the_o act_n will_v allow_v such_o a_o comparitive_a approbation_n of_o the_o

will_v satisfy_v the_o law_n but_o they_o be_v herein_o silent_a and_o the_o law_n give_v not_o sufficient_a reason_n on_o which_o we_o may_v conclude_v it_o 23._o you_o say_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o assent_n and_o consent_n be_v not_o specify_v in_o in_o the_o act_n if_o by_o the_o ground_n you_o mean_v the_o reason_n induce_v the_o legislator_n to_o require_v such_o a_o assent_n and_o consent_n we_o must_v be_v bold_a to_o deny_v what_o you_o ●ff_v m●…nd_n entreat_v you_o to_o let_v we_o know_v what_o you_o make_v there_o word_n in_o the_o act_n now_o in_o regard_n that_o nothing_o
