i_o think_v dissenter_n here_o meddle_v not_o with_o parliament_n but_o with_o the_o ch._n of_o engl._n in_o their_o canon_n and_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n and_o other_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n etc._n etc._n sol._n 2._o you_o say_v i_o be_o a_o pleasant_a spark_n indeed_o and_o then_o ask_v i_o another_o grave_a question_n tell_v i_o be_v read_v god_n word_n repeat_v his_o own_o

not_o make_v law_n for_o he_o no_o obey_v but_o why_o do_v you_o ask_v this_o question_n i_o can_v also_o ask_v you_o question_n but_o why_o shall_v we_o trouble_v ourselves_o and_o other_o with_o ask_v and_o answer_v impertinent_a question_n this_o look_n like_o a_o blind_a to_o escape_v the_o force_n of_o dissenter_n argument_n unobserved_a for_o they_o will_v say_v 1._o that_o its_o term_n of_o communion_n which_o god_n have_v not_o command_v in_o his_o word_n and_o it_o be_v the_o ch._n of_o engl.'s_n form_n of_o worship_n which_o they_o mean_v which_o be_v impose_v which_o god_n must_v have_v or_o none_o and_o which_o all_o must_v use_v or_o be_v punish_v this_o be_v make_v law_n for_o god_n to_o obey_v 2._o for_o read_v of_o god_n word_n and_o pray_v in_o his_o own_o son_n name_n they_o do_v constant_o so_o worship_n god_n because_o god_n himself_o have_v enjoin_v it_o but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o their_o argument_n i_o think_v i_o may_v promise_v in_o behalf_n of_o dissenter_n if_o the_o c._n of_o e._n will_v impose_v no_o more_o on_o they_o than_o these_o necessary_a thing_n they_o will_v cheerful_o obey_v and_o thankful_o comply_v 3._o but_o if_o god_n must_v not_o have_v his_o worship_n in_o baptism_n unless_o the_o minister_n do_v also_o sign_n with_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v his_o worship_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n unless_o man_n will_v receive_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n kneel_v or_o if_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v his_o worship_n in_o prayer_n unless_o the_o minister_n say_v over_o so_o many_o pater-noster_n and_o observe_v so_o many_o up_n and_o down_n so_o many_o cringe_n and_o different_a posture_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o service_n stand_v up_o at_o the_o same_o scripture_n read_v at_o one_o time_n not_o at_o another_o say_v aloud_o at_o one_o time_n not_o at_o another_o then_o dissenter_n think_v this_o a_o impose_v upon_o god_n make_v law_n for_o he_o to_o obey_v and_o that_o with_o a_o penalty_n for_o he_o must_v have_v this_o or_o none_o and_o till_o you_o have_v fair_o answer_v this_o i_o shall_v not_o think_v dissenter_n so_o
