A92173	A most grave, and modest confutation of the errors of the sect, commonly called Brownists, or: Seperatists. Agreed upon long since by the joynt consent of sundry, godly, and learned ministers of this kingdome, then standing out and suffering in the cause of inconformity; and now published in a time of need, for the good of Gods Church, and the better setling of mens unstable mindes in the truth against, the subtile insinuations, and plausible pretences of that pernicious evill. Published by W. Rathband, minister of the Gospell.	Rathband, William, d. 1695.	1644 (1644)	Wing R299; Wing M2893; Thomason E31_11; ESTC R209828	84,262	92

be_v beyond_o all_o comparison_n great_a than_o this_o that_o be_v in_o question_n their_o five_o reason_n against_o our_o office_n be_v that_o we_o be_v call_v to_o read_v homily_n and_o injuction_n and_o whereunto_o we_o answer_v first_o that_o neither_o do_v the_o most_o of_o our_o minister_n read_v homily_n neither_o do_v any_o law_n of_o the_o land_n require_v that_o preacher_n shall_v read_v they_o second_o if_o law_n do_v enjoin_v they_o to_o all_o and_o all_o do_v read_v they_o yet_o be_v they_o not_o enjoin_v in_o our_o ordination_n nor_o account_v by_o law_n as_o substantial_a part_n of_o our_o office_n neither_o be_v their_o any_o doubt_n make_v in_o our_o land_n no_o not_o by_o they_o that_o do_v press_v the_o precise_a observation_n of_o law_n in_o this_o point_n whether_o he_o be_v a_o lawful_a minister_n who_o do_v not_o read_v either_o homily_n or_o injunction_n their_o six_o reason_n against_o our_o office_n be_v that_o we_o be_v call_v to_o marry_v bury_v and_o church_n woman_n to_o which_o also_o we_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v no_o part_n of_o our_o office_n whereunto_o in_o ordination_n we_o be_v call_v to_o do_v these_o thing_n second_o as_o the_o minister_n use_v to_o bless_v the_o marriage_n that_o be_v make_v in_o our_o land_n so_o make_v we_o no_o doubt_n but_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a and_o fit_a as_o a_o matter_n not_o of_o substance_n but_o of_o good_a order_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o do_v

it_o for_o as_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o this_o ordinance_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o word_n and_o prayer_n so_o it_o can_v be_v inconvenient_a that_o the_o word_n and_o prayer_n whereby_o it_o be_v sanctify_v shall_v be_v administer_v by_o he_o who_o in_o a_o special_a sort_n be_v appoint_v of_o god_n to_o be_v the_o steward_n and_o disposer_n of_o all_o his_o

these_o day_n it_o prevent_v many_o dangerous_a inconvenience_n to_o have_v marriage_n blessed_v in_o the_o public_a congregation_n who_o can_v be_v think_v so_o fit_a to_o speak_v in_o the_o

in_o the_o 123._o page_n of_o his_o discovery_n that_o he_o ever_o take_v marriage_n for_o a_o ordinance_n and_o a_o action_n of_o the_o second_o table_n and_o see_v not_o why_o we_o may_v not_o as_o

by_o mutual_a consent_n of_o party_n and_o parent_n private_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o do_v thereupon_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n account_v they_o man_n and_o wife_n before_o

in_o the_o congregation_n concern_v courch_a of_o woman_n we_o answer_v that_o many_o of_o our_o minister_n do_v upon_o a_o just_a dislike_n of_o the_o form_n prescribe_v in_o the_o book_n and_o upon_o fear_n of_o nourish_a the_o great_a superstition_n that_o the_o people_n for_o the_o most_o part_n have_v put_v in_o that_o custom_n forbear_v to_o use_v any_o particular_a and_o personal_a form_n of_o thanksgiving_n at_o that_o time_n and_o occasion_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v not_o how_o it_o shall_v simple_o be_v unlawful_a though_o very_o unconvenient_a to_o use_v some_o form_n of_o thanksgiving_n at_o that_o time_n even_o with_o special_a mention_n of_o that_o occasion_n or_o how_o our_o ministry_n shall_v be_v make_v void_a and_o antichristian_a by_o do_v so_o beside_o that_o the_o book_n itself_o ti_v no_o minister_n to_o the_o form_n preseribe_v but_o leave_v it_o to_o his_o discretion_n to_o use_v it_o or_o any_o other_o as_o that_o case_n or_o occasion_n require_v concern_v burial_n we_o answer_v first_o that_o many_o of_o our_o minister_n be_v know_v to_o refuse_v the_o form_n of_o burial_n prescribe_v in_o the_o book_n second_o that_o a_o christian_a

unto_o the_o grave_n three_o if_o the_o minister_n use_v some_o few_o word_n of_o comfort_n and_o exhortation_n at_o that_o time_n yea_o even_o in_o that_o form_n that_o the_o book_n prescribe_v though_o it_o may_v prove_v inconvenient_a and_o offensive_a yet_o be_v there_o no_o such_o impiety_n in_o that_o action_n that_o shall_v make_v his_o ministry_n void_a or_o antichristian_a their_o seven_o reason_n against_o our_o office_n be_v that_o we_o be_v call_v to_o use_v antichristian_a geremony_n whereunto_o we_o make_v this_o answer_n that_o the_o ceremony_n wherein_o opinion_n of_o
