of_o this_o more_o hereafter_o 30._o in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o be_v to_o i_o a_o wonder_n how_o those_o that_o do_v now_o so_o much_o insist_v upon_o the_o necessity_n of_o their_o agreement_n with_o that_o doctrine_n and_o discipline_n which_o be_v former_o set_v down_o by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n among_o which_o the_o frequent_a use_n of_o sermon_n and_o sacrament_n be_v set_v down_o as_o duty_n necessary_a to_o our_o christian_a profession_n if_o not_o salvation_n can_v now_o be_v so_o much_o change_v from_o their_o first_o principle_n as_o to_o decline_v those_o mean_n and_o instrument_n which_o by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v for_o the_o present_a send_v we_o to_o that_o very_a end_n and_o that_o only_o for_o want_v of_o such_o like_a formality_n of_o induction_n or_o institution_n which_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o church_n or_o state_n do_v in_o that_o case_n former_o appoint_v and_o can_v now_o even_o while_o they_o do_v profess_v their_o constancy_n in_o the_o same_o belief_n go_v about_o to_o persuade_v against_o effectualness_n of_o administration_n either_o in_o one_o kind_n or_o other_o through_o any_o such_o like_a objection_n more_o likely_a to_o my_o think_v it_o shall_v follow_v that_o since_o there_o be_v such_o a_o great_a necessity_n still_o remain_v in_o the_o frequent_a use_n of_o these_o thing_n and_o since_o such_o manner_n of_o ordination_n induction_n and_o other_o qualification_n as_o they_o themselves_o have_v receive_v can_v only_o warrant_v man_n to_o be_v right_a hearer_n or_o receiver_n that_o therefore_o it_o be_v incumbent_n on_o they_o as_o a_o necessary_a duty_n to_o be_v do_v hereof_o for_o fear_v of_o that_o sentence_n woe_n if_o i_o preach_v not_o 31._o in_o which_o case_n if_o we_o

which_o the_o former_a nonconformist_n make_v against_o the_o church_n too_o great_a imposition_n in_o that_o kind_n we_o may_v as_o i_o conceive_v attribute_v more_o reason_n and_o christian_a charity_n and_o moderation_n to_o they_o than_o these_o for_o among_o they_o it_o be_v hold_v for_o a_o maxim_n that_o they_o will_v rather_o preach_v in_o a_o fool_n coat_n then_o be_v deprive_v of_o that_o benefit_n which_o may_v come_v by_o their_o ministry_n and_o preach_v and_o this_o the_o discreet_a and_o more_o moderate_a sort_n do_v although_o the_o do_v of_o a_o thing_n conceive_v to_o be_v unlawful_a by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v more_o to_o be_v scruple_v at_o then_o the_o forbearance_n of_o a_o thing_n hold_v lawful_a by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n which_o in_o
