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 1_o thess_n 5.22_o beside_o that_o by_o so_o do_v they_o shall_v but_o

our_o present_a purpose_n also_o i_o answer_v therefore_o in_o short_a that_o 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 until_o thing_n can_v be_v reduce_v into_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 may_v 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 the_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

and_o the_o law_n in_o that_o behalf_n this_o if_o we_o shall_v do_v bona_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 prevent_v 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

by_o observe_v these_o ensue_v and_o such_o other_o like_a 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

which_o in_o that_o their_o new_a language_n they_o call_v the_o godly_a party_n or_o the_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

of_o the_o puritan_n principle_n and_o tenant_n to_o the_o people_n or_o to_o show_v out_o of_o some_o passage_n and_o expression_n in_o the_o common_a prayer_n book_n the_o consonancy_n of_o those_o
