shall_v be_v call_v the_o least_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n some_o understand_v it_o so_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v no_o place_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n which_o be_v true_a if_o he_o live_v and_o die_v in_o wilful_a ignorance_n and_o disobedience_n but_o i_o will_v not_o be_v so_o uncharitable_a as_o to_o think_v so_o of_o many_o who_o have_v in_o some_o measure_n in_o faithfulness_n hold_v the_o fundamental_o of_o christianity_n and_o have_v sincere_o endeavour_v to_o obey_v such_o of_o the_o great_a command_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o be_v perish_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a i_o have_v the_o charity_n to_o they_o and_o so_o i_o hope_v and_o desire_n that_o you_o may_v have_v the_o same_o that_o god_n have_v in_o mercy_n receive_v they_o and_o have_v not_o exclude_v they_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n notwithstanding_o they_o have_v live_v and_o die_v not_o only_o in_o the_o disuse_n of_o some_o of_o christ_n command_n such_o as_o baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n but_o have_v even_o continue_v in_o the_o opposition_n of_o they_o to_o the_o last_o moment_n not_o bring_v any_o wilful_a ignorance_n but_o by_o be_v impose_v upon_o by_o the_o high_a pretence_n of_o their_o false_a teacher_n who_o they_o esteem_v to_o be_v prophet_n yet_o i_o think_v without_o breach_n of_o charity_n i_o may_v say_v that_o for_o their_o ignorance_n and_o ignorant_a opposition_n to_o these_o or_o any_o of_o the_o least_o of_o christ_n command_n they_o shall_v have_v a_o lesser_a degree_n of_o glory_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n than_o otherwise_o they_o shall_v have_v have_v i_o have_v now_o do_v with_o what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v in_o answer_n to_o these_o weighty_a question_n i_o shall_v only_o observe_v one_o particular_a from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n which_o be_v this_o that_o it_o have_v oft_o be_v and_o be_v the_o lot_n of_o good_a man_n have_v a_o good_a conscience_n to_o be_v wrongful_o judge_v misrepresent_v and_o false_o accuse_v both_o scripture_n and_o history_n abound_v with_o example_n to_o prove_v this_o as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o joseph_n moses_n david_n and_o daniel_n and_o many_o of_o the_o prophet_n and_o in_o the_o case_n of_o john_n baptist_n and_o our_o saviour_n john_n come_v neither_o eat_n nor_o drink_v and_o they_o say_v he_o have_v a_o devil_n christ_n come_v eat_v and_o drink_v with_o publican_n and_o sinner_n and_o they_o call_v he_o gluttonous_a and_o a_o wine-bibber_n to_o which_o my_o case_n somewhat_o resemble_v these_o four_o year_n past_a my_o adversary_n among_o the_o quaker_n reproach_v i_o that_o i_o be_v of_o no_o communion_n neither_o quaker_n nor_o presbyterian_a nor_o independent_a nor_o baptist_n nor_o of_o the_o church_n of_o

they_o i_o be_v a_o christian_a and_o a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n of_o christ_n and_o have_v great_a charity_n for_o all_o the_o sincere_a that_o hold_v the_o head_n in_o all_o the_o several_a communion_n of_o protestant_n but_o this_o will_v not_o satisfy_v but_o they_o will_v insult_v and_o seek_v to_o trample_v i_o under_o their_o foot_n but_o god_n support_v i_o but_o now_o again_o when_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n be_v far_o i_o bless_v god_n enlighten_v and_o my_o scruple_n i_o have_v be_v fair_o remove_v after_o diligent_a examination_n and_o mature_a

false_o accuse_v i_o as_o former_o and_o so_o will_v they_o have_v do_v if_o i_o have_v join_v with_o any_o of_o the_o dissenter_n but_o i_o bless_v god_n i_o have_v a_o good_a conscience_n and_o my_o
