christian_a much_o less_o of_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n who_o duty_n it_o be_v to_o shun_v even_o the_o least_o appearance_n of_o evil_n 5._o beside_o that_o by_o so_o do_v they_o shall_v but_o confirm_v such_o man_n in_o their_o schismatical_a principle_n and_o practice_n this_o objection_n have_v 3_o branch_n to_o the_o first_o whereof_o i_o oppose_v the_o old_a say_n duo_o cum_fw-la faciunt_fw-la idem_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la idem_fw-la which_o although_o speak_v quite_o to_o another_o purpose_n yet_o be_v very_o capable_a of_o such_o a_o sense_n which_o will_v very_o well_o fit_a our_o present_a purpose_n also_o i_o answer_v therefore_o in_o short_a to_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o schismatic_n do_v especial_o in_o time_n of_o confusion_n and_o till_o thing_n can_v be_v reduce_v unto_o better_a order_n and_o when_o man_n be_v necessitate_v thereunto_o to_o prevent_v great_a mischief_n do_v not_o necessary_o infer_v a_o partake_n with_o they_o in_o schism_n no_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o probable_o unless_o it_o may_v appear_v upon_o probable_a presumption_n otherwise_o that_o it_o be_v do_v out_o of_o the_o same_o schismatical_a spirit_n and_o upon_o such_o schismatical_a principle_n as_o they_o be_v the_o other_o two_o branch_n viz._n that_o of_o seem_a compliance_n with_o schismatic_n and_o that_o of_o the_o ill_a use_n they_o make_v of_o it_o to_o confirm_v they_o in_o their_o schism_n do_v upon_o the_o matter_n fall_v in_o upon_o the_o aforesaid_a point_n of_o scandal_n and_o be_v in_o effect_n but_o the_o same_o objection_n only_o put_v into_o a_o new_a dress_n and_o so_o have_v receive_v their_o answer_n already_o and_o the_o only_a remedy_n against_o both_o these_o fear_n as_o well_o that_o of_o scandal_n as_o this_o of_o schism_n be_v the_o same_o which_o be_v there_o prescribe_v even_o to_o give_v assurance_n to_o all_o man_n by_o our_o carriage_n and_o behaviour_n therein_o that_o we_o do_v not_o lay_v aside_o common_a prayer_n of_o our_o own_o accord_n or_o out_o of_o any_o dislike_n thereof_o neither_o in_o contempt_n of_o our_o rightful_a governor_n or_o of_o the_o law_n nor_o out_o of_o any_o base_a compliance_n with_o the_o time_n or_o unworthy_a secular_a own_o end_n nor_o out_o of_o any_o schismatical_a principle_n seditious_a design_n or_o innovate_a humour_n but_o mere_o enforce_v thereunto_o by_o such_o a_o necessity_n as_o we_o can_v otherwise_o avoid_v in_o order_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o public_a good_a for_o the_o preservation_n of_o our_o family_n our_o flock_n and_o our_o function_n and_o that_o with_o the_o good_a leave_n and_o allowance_n as_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o believe_v of_o such_o as_o have_v power_n to_o dispense_v with_o we_o and_o the_o law_n in_o that_o behalf_n this_o if_o we_o shall_v do_v bonâ_fw-la fide_fw-la and_o with_o our_o utmost_a endeavour_n in_o singleness_n of_o heart_n and_o with_o godly_a discretion_n perhaps_o it_o will_v not_o be_v enough_o to_o prevail_v with_o either_o the_o censure_n of_o inconsiderate_a and_o inconsiderable_a person_n or_o the_o ill_a use_n that_o may_v be_v make_v of_o our_o example_n through_o the_o ignorance_n or_o negligence_n of_o some_o scandalum_fw-la pusillorum_fw-la or_o through_o the_o perverseness_n and_o malice_n of_o other_o scandalum_fw-la pharisaeorum_fw-la as_o the_o school_n term_v they_o but_o assure_o it_o will_v be_v sufficient_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o the_o witness_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o to_o the_o conscience_n of_o charitable_a and_o consider_a man_n to_o acquit_v we_o clear_v of_o all_o guilt_n either_o of_o scandal_n or_o schism_n in_o the_o least_o degree_n which_o we_o may_v probable_o do_v by_o observe_v these_o ensue_a or_o such_o other_o like_o general_a direction_n the_o liberty_n of_o use_v such_o meet_a accommodation_n as_o the_o circumstance_n in_o particular_a case_n shall_v require_v evermore_o allow_v and_o reserve_v viz._n 1._o if_o we_o shall_v decline_v the_o company_n and_o society_n of_o know_a schismatic_n not_o converse_v frequent_o or_o familiar_o with_o they_o or_o more_o than_o the_o necessary_a affair_n of_o life_n and_o the_o rule_n of_o neighbourhood_n and_o common_a civility_n will_v require_v especial_o not_o to_o give_v countenance_n unto_o their_o church_n assembly_n by_o our_o presence_n among_o they_o if_o we_o can_v avoid_v it_o 2._o if_o we_o shall_v retain_v as_o well_o in_o common_a discourse_n as_o in_o our_o sermon_n and_o holy_a office_n of_o the_o church_n the_o old_a theological_n and_o ecclesiastical_a term_n and_o form_n of_o speech_n which_o have_v be_v general_o receive_v and_o use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n which_o the_o people_n be_v well_o

may_v so_o call_v it_o which_o they_o have_v of_o late_o take_v up_o as_o the_o signal_n distinction_n and_o characteristical_a note_n of_o that_o which_o in_o that_o their_o new_a language_n they_o call_v the_o godly_a party_n or_o communion_n of_o saint_n 3._o if_o in_o officiate_a we_o repeat_v not_o only_o the_o lord_n prayer_n the_o creed_n the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o such_o other_o passage_n in_o the_o common_a prayer_n book_n as_o be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o scripture_n no_o man_n can_v except_v against_o but_o so_o much_o of_o the_o old_a liturgy_n beside_o in_o the_o very_a word_n and_o syllable_n of_o the_o book_n as_o we_o think_v the_o minister_n of_o state_n in_o those_o part_n wherein_o we_o live_v will_v suffer_v and_o the_o auditory_a before_o who_o we_o officiate_v will_v bear_v since_o the_o officer_n in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o land_n be_v not_o alike_o strict_a nor_o the_o people_n in_o all_o parish_n alike_o disaffect_v in_o this_o respect_n 4._o if_o where_o we_o must_v of_o necessity_n vary_v from_o the_o word_n we_o yet_o follow_v the_o order_n of_o the_o book_n in_o the_o main_a part_n of_o the_o holy_a office_n retain_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o prayer_n and_o embellish_v those_o of_o our_o own_o make_n which_o we_o substitute_v into_o the_o place_n of_o those_o we_o leave_v out_o with_o phrase_n and_o passage_n take_v out_o of_o the_o book_n in_o other_o place_n 5._o if_o where_o we_o can_v safe_o mention_v the_o particular_n mention_v in_o the_o book_n as_o namely_o in_o pray_v for_o the_o king_n the_o queen_n the_o royal_a progeny_n and_o the_o bishop_n we_o shall_v yet_o use_v in_o our_o prayer_n some_o such_o general_a term_n and_o other_o intimation_n devise_v for_o that_o purpose_n as_o may_v
