it_o will_v be_v take_v for_o grant_v at_o least_o by_o the_o common_a people_n that_o his_o name_n will_v stand_v there_o as_o a_o approval_n of_o all_o the_o notion_n in_o that_o book_n and_o ensnare_v many_o to_o a_o closure_n with_o the_o very_a error_n my_o brother_n now_o seem_v to_o declaim_v against_o refuse_v to_o set_v his_o name_n unto_o it_o and_o yet_o he_o himself_o notwithstanding_o the_o antinomian_a heresy_n horrid_a opinion_n and_o abominable_a doctrine_n that_o he_o charge_v his_o congregational_a brethren_n with_o in_o his_o one_o and_o twenty_o position_n pag._n 25_o 26._o do_v set_v his_o hand_n unto_o the_o attestation_n before_o dr._n crisp_n book_n and_o there_o it_o still_o remain_v without_o a_o public_a recall_v it_o and_o i_o think_v he_o can_v

between_o dr._n crisp_n and_o other_o good_a man_n seem_v to_o lie_v not_o so_o much_o in_o the_o thing_n which_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o of_o they_o believe_v as_o about_o their_o order_n and_o reference_n to_o one_o another_o this_o be_v one_o passage_n that_o my_o brother_n have_v subscribe_v which_o clear_v it_o that_o if_o he_o do_v it_o with_o consideration_n and_o sincerity_n he_o can_v not_o look_v on_o dr._n crisp_n to_o hold_v either_o antinomian_a heresy_n or_o any_o other_o horrid_a opinion_n but_o that_o as_o to_o the_o thing_n themselves_o the_o doctor_n be_v of_o the_o same_o faith_n with_o my_o rebuker_n which_o thing_n once_o grant_v make_v it_o evident_a that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o powerful_a reason_n to_o influence_n mr._n ws._n to_o write_v against_o the_o doctor_n as_o my_o brother_n suggest_v p._n 16._o for_o when_o difference_n be_v only_o about_o the_o order_n and_o reference_n of_o one_o thing_n to_o another_o where_o as_o to_o

mutual_a forbearance_n and_o it_o must_v be_v in_o mr._n ws._n and_o those_o zealous_a brethren_n who_o do_v set_v he_o on_o this_o work_n a_o violation_n of_o the_o rule_n of_o christian_a love_n and_o forbearance_n to_o make_v this_o strife_n whence_o it_o must_v unavoidable_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v mr._n ws._n who_o make_v the_o first_o breach_n on_o the_o union_n and_o that_o my_o

about_o their_o order_n and_o reference_n to_o one_o another_o very_o material_a difference_n i_o grant_v it_o may_v be_v so_o though_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o do_v look_v on_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o orthodox_n and_o dr._n crisp_n to_o be_v much_o great_a than_o this_o sort_n of_o palliate_a preface_n will_v allow_v it_o to_o be_v and_o that_o whilst_o my_o brother_n name_n continue_v without_o a_o retractation_n to_o be_v before_o the_o doctor_n book_n and_o under_o this_o preface_n it_o will_v be_v a_o snare_n to_o multitude_n especial_o see_v he_o add_v his_o further_a sense_n in_o these_o word_n 3._o but_o we_o reckon_v that_o notwithstanding_o what_o be_v more_o controversible_a in_o dr._n crisp_n write_n there_o be_v much_o more_o material_a thing_n

what_o can_v be_v say_v more_o full_o in_o favour_n of_o dr._n crisp_n notion_n do_v ever_o the_o reporter_n talk_v thus_o i_o will_v go_v further_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n dangerous_a in_o
