A45159	The third step of a nonconformist, for the recovery of the use of his ministry with some occasional notice taken of the judgment and decree of the University of Oxford, past in their convocation, July 21, 1683 / by one of the followers of peace, and lovers of impartiality.	Humfrey, John, 1621-1719.	1684 (1684)	Wing H3712; ESTC R39280	17,273	38

with_o he_o about_o this_o decree_n at_o oxford_n that_o have_v here_o give_v judgement_n for_o i_o against_o he_o in_o the_o business_n who_o i_o will_v have_v have_v convince_v real_o in_o conscience_n because_o that_o opinion_n of_o his_o be_v not_o to_o be_v hold_v and_o i_o think_v he_o do_v hurt_v other_o in_o hold_v it_o and_o i_o do_v therefore_o hearty_o thank_v the_o university_n that_o they_o have_v pick_v up_o this_o seventeen_o proposition_n into_o their_o decree_n and_o condemn_v it_o be_v a_o tenent_n of_o ill_a consequence_n when_o declaration_n and_o oath_n shall_v hereby_o be_v render_v but_o as_o so_o many_o cobweb_n which_o may_v entangle_v a_o weak_a judgement_n but_o those_o that_o have_v wit_n shall_v break_v through_o they_o and_o the_o magistrate_n shall_v have_v no_o holdfast_n on_o any_o nevertheless_o i_o thank_v not_o the_o university_n for_o gather_v this_o proposition_n from_o the_o sheriff_n case_n which_o profess_v the_o clean_a contrary_a as_o they_o do_v and_o if_o any_o such_o tenent_n therefore_o can_v be_v deduce_v from_o any_o occasional_a passage_n thereof_o by_o consequence_n or_o logic_n so_o long_o as_o the_o design_n and_o whole_a scope_n of_o it_o do_v bend_v de_fw-la industria_fw-la to_o the_o opposite_a thereunto_o such_o a_o decree_n as_o affix_n to_o a_o book_n that_o proposition_n against_o which_o it_o express_o declare_v and_o then_o to_o burn_v the_o book_n for_o it_o if_o i_o may_v use_v the_o word_n of_o no_o less_o than_o a_o bishop_n who_o have_v read_v both_o the_o decree_n and_o case_n must_v be_v very_o iniquitous_a i_o put_v it_o in_o these_o very_a word_n because_o they_o be_v another_o and_o he_o speak_v they_o not_o i_o will_v suppose_v in_o dishonour_n to_o the_o university_n but_o the_o rather_o because_o he_o be_v tell_v it_o be_v some_o other_o book_n they_o mean_v under_o the_o title_n of_o the_o sheriff_n case_n and_o not_o this_o which_o i_o speak_v of_o and_o own_o as_o propose_v the_o same_o doctrine_n which_o they_o do_v and_o condemn_v the_o same_o proposition_n to_o return_v if_o upon_o mature_a consideration_n according_a to_o this_o rule_n i_o be_o persuade_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o parliament_n who_o impose_v the_o declaration_n which_o be_v to_o be_v subscribe_v by_o i_o if_o i_o go_v on_o be_v no_o more_o than_o i_o have_v tender_v in_o the_o explication_n of_o my_o former_a sheet_n then_o do_v i_o not_o need_v to_o be_v behold_v to_o any_o bishop_n who_o can_v give_v myself_o the_o favour_n of_o subscribe_v and_o so_o require_v his_o certificate_n of_o course_n but_o if_o indeed_o do_v what_o i_o can_v i_o find_v my_o mind_n still_o in_o some_o doubt_n i_o must_v on_o necessity_n think_v father_n it_o be_v some_o year_n before_o i_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o subscribe_v that_o declaration_n at_o all_o especial_o as_o it_o be_v clog_v till_o eighty_o two_o with_o any_o explication_n when_o i_o come_v to_o think_v on_o a_o explication_n it_o be_v a_o good_a while_n long_o before_o i_o can_v be_v satisfy_v how_o to_o do_v it_o unless_o i_o may_v put_v my_o explication_n to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o declaration_n and_o so_o set_v my_o hand_n to_o both_o together_o i_o endeavour_v therefore_o and_o make_v trial_n whether_o i_o may_v have_v leave_n to_o do_v so_o but_o can_v not_o obtain_v it_o i_o acknowledge_v the_o candid_a ingenuity_n and_o courteous_a good_a will_n of_o the_o diocesan_n but_o he_o make_v high_a inquisition_n i_o bethink_v myself_o hereupon_o of_o a_o less_o request_n that_o if_o i_o may_v by_o the_o bishop_n consent_n be_v but_o permit_v to_o write_v these_o word_n according_a to_o a_o paper_n give_v into_o the_o bishop_n isubscribe_v in_o the_o register_n book_n as_o in_o the_o former_a sheet_n it_o appear_v to_o i_o in_o effect_n all_o one_o as_o to_o set_v my_o name_n to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o declaration_n with_o my_o explication_n so_o long_o as_o such_o a_o paper_n be_v give_v in_o to_o he_o i_o have_v not_o be_v want_v therefore_o to_o try_v again_o with_o more_o than_o one_o bishop_n whether_o so_o little_a a_o favour_n as_o this_o may_v be_v obtain_v and_o i_o have_v intimate_v my_o success_n so_o that_o the_o condescension_n that_o a_o man_n may_v reasonable_o expect_v without_o a_o parliament_n from_o any_o bishop_n to_o trust_v to_o it_o be_v like_a to_o come_v to_o this_o to_o grant_v what_o the_o law_n allow_v if_o some_o of_o they_o will_v yet_o do_v that_o here_o be_v two_o step_n than_o i_o have_v make_v and_o the_o three_o i_o be_o to_o get_v up_o i_o can_v subscribe_v without_o a_o explication_n but_o i_o can_v subscribe_v with_o one_o that_o be_v the_o first_o step._n if_o i_o subscribe_v with_o a_o explication_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o i_o declare_v my_o explication_n but_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o my_o explication_n and_o the_o word_n i_o subscribe_v be_v put_v together_o in_o one_o paper_n or_o in_o the_o register_n book_n if_o it_o be_v signify_v that_o i_o do_v it_o with_o a_o explication_n it_o be_v as_o well_o and_o in_o effect_n the_o same_o thing_n this_o be_v the_o second_o step._n if_o i_o may_v not_o signify_v this_o in_o the_o register_n book_n i_o come_v now_o to_o consider_v if_o i_o publish_v it_o in_o print_n and_o so_o notify_v it_o both_o to_o bishop_n register_n and_o all_o the_o world_n whether_o this_o real_o be_v not_o as_o well_o also_o as_o if_o i_o be_v suffer_v to_o do_v so_o and_o that_o for_o the_o substance_n which_o will_v go_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o my_o scruple_n and_o if_o in_o the_o upshot_n this_o will_v serve_v there_o be_v none_o can_v hinder_v i_o this_o last_o step_n for_o i_o land_n methinks_v here_o upon_o my_o right_n or_o upon_o law_n when_o my_o stand_n be_v but_o precarious_a before_o well!_o i_o do_v consider_v in_o the_o sheriff_n case_n to_o what_o resolution_n or_o latitude_n the_o author_n of_o that_o paper_n come_v about_o the_o oxford_n oath_n let_v we_o suppose_v a_o man_n convince_v that_o the_o interpretation_n offer_v in_o regard_n to_o the_o oath_n and_o in_o regard_n to_o this_o declaration_n be_v probable_o the_o very_a meaning_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n but_o he_o be_v not_o persuade_v beyond_o all_o doubt_n and_o he_o will_v have_v something_o for_o his_o relief_n in_o regard_n to_o that_o doubt_n for_o a_o alleviation_n to_o this_o man_n there_o be_v this_o passage_n in_o that_o case_n if_o a_o man_n be_v persuade_v in_o his_o conscience_n the_o meaning_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n be_v no_o more_o than_o thus_o he_o may_v submit_v and_o make_v no_o stand_n but_o if_o he_o believe_v their_o meaning_n be_v otherwise_o or_o doubt_n that_o it_o be_v more_o than_o thus_o he_o can_v swear_v or_o subscribe_v but_o with_o limitation_n and_o he_o must_v declare_v those_o limitation_n or_o forbear_v but_o if_o he_o shall_v swear_v of_o subscribe_v suppose_v he_o one_o that_o doubt_v with_o make_v a_o declaration_n that_o he_o do_v it_o in_o this_o meaning_n suppose_v it_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n and_o with_o these_o explanatory_a limitation_n to_o their_o meaning_n if_o in_o any_o thing_n indeed_o it_o be_v otherwise_o if_o the_o justice_n admit_v he_o to_o the_o oath_n after_o this_o declaration_n for_o whether_o they_o admit_v the_o sense_n or_o not_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n because_o they_o have_v no_o power_n in_o it_o we_o be_v persuade_v say_v that_o paper_n that_o his_o conscience_n may_v receive_v satisfaction_n thereby_o in_o his_o compliance_n with_o the_o law_n in_o these_o imposition_n by_o the_o way_n again_o from_o this_o place_n it_o be_v very_o likely_a the_o oxford_n convocation_n may_v gather_v the_o proposition_n before_o cite_v out_o of_o this_o say_a book_n but_o if_o so_o i_o must_v answer_v unless_o they_o be_v of_o the_o opinion_n that_o though_o a_o man_n refuse_v a_o oath_n without_o admittance_n to_o take_v it_o with_o limitation_n and_o then_o do_v declare_v his_o limitation_n and_o so_o be_v admit_v to_o it_o he_o be_v yet_o oblige_v to_o perform_v it_o be_v take_v in_o the_o full_a sense_n of_o the_o imposer_n notwithstanding_o those_o limitation_n there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o they_o and_o the_o sheriff_n case_n in_o this_o matter_n but_o if_o that_o indeed_o be_v their_o opinion_n let_v they_o speak_v it_o out_o and_o make_v this_o the_o condemn_a proposition_n a_o oath_n take_v with_o a_o declare_a limitation_n to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o imposer_n do_v oblige_v no_o far_a than_o he_o have_v declare_v beforehand_o that_o he_o will_v be_v bind_v when_o he_o take_v it_o this_o proposition_n i_o own_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o sheriff_n case_n if_o they_o condemn_v it_o i_o crave_v from_o they_o some_o illumination_n that_o a_o oath_n in_o general_n

must_v be_v take_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o imposer_n we_o agree_v and_o that_o a_o man_n that_o take_v it_o and_o say_v nothing_o be_v oblige_v to_o the_o full_a sense_n thereof_o so_o take_v but_o if_o a_o man_n declare_v his_o limitation_n i_o suppose_v that_o instance_n alone_o of_o the_o oath_n between_o rahab_n and_o the_o spy_n do_v make_v the_o matter_n good_a on_o my_o side_n beyond_o disputation_n but_o sure_a the_o university_n of_o oxford_n can_v never_o differ_v with_o i_o in_o this_o and_o consequent_o there_o be_v some_o mistake_n here_o about_o this_o book_n the_o

this_o which_o have_v certain_o offer_v more_o towards_o justify_v the_o conformist_n i_o pray_v god_n it_o may_v not_o hinder_v any_o one_o man_n from_o a_o due_a sense_n of_o his_o sin_n who_o either_o go_v against_o his_o conscience_n or_o know_v not_o what_o he_o do_v when_o he_o conform_v and_o help_v the_o dissenter_n to_o conform_v than_o all_o the_o book_n that_o be_v write_v on_o their_o own_o side_n which_o general_o have_v wave_v these_o political_a point_n where_o lay_v our_o chief_a scruple_n since_o the_o act_n of_o uniformity_n i_o ought_v not_o above_o all_o to_o

that_o this_o indeed_o be_v the_o book_n which_o they_o mean_v and_o condemn_v i_o must_v not_o then_o leave_v that_o matter_n yet_o without_o some_o far_a discussion_n the_o university_n have_v

be_v take_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o imposer_n and_o build_v upon_o it_o there_o be_v two_o question_n therefore_o to_o be_v make_v of_o this_o one_o in_o what_o sense_n must_v a_o oath_n be_v take_v the_o other_o in_o what_o sense_n do_v it_o oblige_v be_v take_v if_o these_o be_v not_o make_v two_o the_o university_n will_v he_o guilty_a of_o slander_n and_o belie_v the_o sheriff_n case_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n not_o to_o be_v imagine_v but_o these_o be_v distinguish_v it_o appear_v straight_o that_o the_o university_n and_o sheriff_n case_v agree_v thus_o far_o as_o be_v say_v even_o now_o that_o a_o oath_n must_v be_v take_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o those_o that_o impose_v it_o and_o when_o it_o be_v so_o take_v it_o oblige_v according_o the_o difficulty_n arise_v only_o

of_o the_o imposer_n but_o he_o come_v after_o his_o take_n it_o to_o understand_v the_o sense_n to_o be_v such_o as_o he_o can_v not_o and_o will_v not_o have_v take_v it_o if_o he_o have_v understand_v the_o same_o before_o the_o question_n than_o be_v whether_o his_o oath_n now_o oblige_v he_o to_o the_o performance_n in_o that_o sense_n which_o real_o be_v the_o imposer_n or_o that_o which_o he_o understand_v to_o be_v they_o when_o he_o take_v it_o and_o else_o have_v not_o take_v it_o if_o the_o university_n do_v hold_v that_o a_o oath_n bind_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o

take_v it_o except_v against_o that_o sense_n wherein_o he_o can_v take_v it_o the_o question_n then_o still_o arise_v whether_o the_o university_n do_v hold_v the_o man_n be_v oblige_v to_o the_o imposer_n sense_n notwithstanding_o his_o predeclaration_n and_o if_o they_o do_v i_o must_v leave_v it_o again_o to_o the_o better_o advise_v to_o consider_v whether_o this_o be_v a_o mature_a or_o rash_a determination_n if_o they_o determine_v the_o point_n otherwise_o how_o can_v they_o condemn_v the_o proposition_n they_o have_v condemn_v without_o explanation_n or_o exception_n in_o short_a unless_o it_o be_v another_o book_n they_o mean_v they_o have_v collect_v their_o proposition_n out_o of_o the_o sheriff_n case_v very_o untoward_o and_o they_o have_v as_o overly_o condemn_v it_o when_o they_o have_v so_o do_v to_o pass_v on_o it_o be_v propose_v far_o in_o that_o sheriff_n case_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v moreover_o write_v down_o his_o sense_n or_o limitation_n and_o give_v

of_o the_o case_n this_o be_v the_o main_a there_o intend_v there_o be_v two_o way_n then_o for_o myself_o here_o to_o take_v to_o establish_v i_o in_o my_o resolution_n one_o be_v if_o i_o can_v

in_o the_o oath_n and_o it_o be_v real_o something_o easy_o in_o my_o mind_n to_o subscribe_v to_o the_o same_o thing_n in_o a_o declaration_n than_o to_o swear_v to_o they_o in_o a_o oath_n the_o
