A29750	The history of the indulgence shewing its rise, conveyance, progress, and acceptance : together with a demonstration of the unlawfulness thereof and an answere to contrary objections : as also, a vindication of such as scruple to hear the indulged / by a Presbyterian.

that_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a nor_o necessare_fw-la to_o tell_v what_o be_v say_v to_o or_o by_o every_o one_o of_o they_o they_o be_v called-in_a one_o by_o one_o but_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o

of_o their_o apology_n for_o as_o to_o some_o it_o may_v be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o such_o be_v their_o loyal_a affection_n to_o authority_n that_o for_o fear_n of_o offend_v they_o do_v not_o hold_v forth_o and_o plain_o show_v the_o true_a ground_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v i_o grant_v the_o parliament_n call_v that_o day_n a_o holiday_n may_v give_v ground_n of_o scruple_v to_o conscientious_a person_n yet_o i_o suppose_v it_o be_v well_o enough_o know_v that_o this_o denomination_n be_v not_o the_o effect_n of_o true_a devotion_n nor_o yet_o of_o superstition_n the_o day_n be_v observe_v rather_o in_o honour_n of_o bacchus_n than_o of_o the_o true_a and_o live_a god_n and_o that_o the_o principal_a thing_n intend_v be_v a_o solemn_a universal_a and_o anniversary_n condemnation_n of_o the_o work_n of_o reformation_n which_o be_v so_o full_o signify_v in_o the_o very_a narrative_a of_o the_o act_n that_o i_o wonder_v these_o brethren_n do_v not_o give_v this_o as_o the_o ground_n of_o their_o non-observing_a of_o that_o day_n i_o shall_v not_o think_v that_o they_o think_v themselves_o free_a to_o abstract_n from_o that_o narrative_a and_o not_o once_o to_o notice_n it_o see_v they_o can_v not_o abstract_a simple_a preach_v on_o that_o day_n from_o its_o due_a observation_n and_o see_v every_o one_o know_v that_o every_o observation_n of_o a_o day_n holy_a or_o civil_a appoint_v by_o man_n do_v homologat_v the_o ground_n &_o reason_n of_o the_o institution_n but_o pass_v this_o which_o be_v not_o of_o moment_n as_o to_o our_o present_a business_n he_o tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v four_o of_o the_o brethren_n called-in_a together_o upon_o particular_a summons_n for_o baptise_v of_o child_n of_o other_o

tuesday_n as_o to_o this_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o council_n do_v suppose_v those_o act_n to_o have_v be_v make_v know_v unto_o they_o and_o that_o so_o far_o as_o the_o council_n do_v know_v all_o the_o rest_n save_v these_o four_o have_v observe_v the_o injunction_n otherwise_o they_o have_v be_v challenge_v upon_o the_o violation_n of_o they_o as_o well_o as_o these_o four_o as_o to_o this_o answer_n give_v by_o those_o four_o i_o suppose_v the_o rest_n will_v willing_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a and_o that_o another_o answer_n have_v be_v both_o more_o pertinent_a and_o less_o introductive_a of_o new_a trouble_n for_o probable_o if_o this_o answer_n have_v not_o be_v give_v they_o have_v not_o gote_v such_o a_o return_n from_o my_o l._n chanc._n have_v they_o ingenous_o say_v that_o their_o commission_n bear_v they_o to_o baptise_v as_o well_o as_o to_o preach_v and_o that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v answerable_a to_o their_o master_n to_o refuse_v to_o baptise_v any_o child_n within_o the_o covenant_n bring_v unto_o they_o for_o that_o end_n much_o trouble_n and_o temptation_n have_v be_v in_o all_o appearance_n prevente●_n and_o though_o i_o will_v not_o condemn_v all_o legal_a defence_n yet_o i_o must_v say_v that_o christian_a prudence_n may_v soon_o have_v teach_v they_o to_o have_v wave_v this_o defence_n not_o only_o because_o it_o be_v obvious_a enough_o what_o will_v follow_v but_o main_o because_o it_o contain_v a_o tacit_a acknowledgement_n that_o they_o will_v not_o have_v do_v what_o they_o do_v if_o the_o act_n have_v be_v intimate_fw-la to_o they_o and_o that_o in_o time_n come_v they_o will_v willing_o obey_v the_o same_o and_o consequent_o that_o the_o injunction_n be_v just_a and_o righteous_a and_o such_o as_o neither_o they_o nor_o any_o other_o shall_v disobey_v whether_o because_o of_o the_o matter_n or_o because_o of_o the_o power_n enjoin_v they_o but_o more_o of_o this_o purpose_n afterward_o he_o give_v we_o next_o a_o account_n of_o what_o they_o do_v in_o the_o interval_n and_o how_o they_o do_v meet_v almost_o every_o day_n to_o consult_v what_o they_o shall_v do_v at_o
