a_o sin_n will_v it_o be_v schism_n then_o as_o you_o call_v it_o conformist_n there_o be_v several_a passage_n which_o do_v well_o deserve_v to_o be_v animadvert_v upon_o but_o i_o pass_v all_o to_o

ceremony_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v not_o time_n to_o come_v to_o that_o till_o we_o have_v first_o consider_v whether_o the_o impose_v these_o be_v a_o sufficient_a cause_n for_o schism_n because_o if_o it_o be_v not_o all_o the_o inconvenience_n impropriety_n which_o you_o object_v be_v they_o grant_v will_v not_o excuse_v your_o separation_n from_o the_o church_n or_o make_v your_o separation_n not_o to_o be_v a_o schism_n in_o order_n to_o this_o i_o first_o set_v down_o the_o power_n as_o i_o conceive_v the_o church_n have_v not_o viz._n to_o appoint_v mean_n of_o grace_n and_o by_o this_o i_o cut_v off_o most_o of_o the_o popish_a ceremony_n 2._o that_o the_o church_n have_v power_n to_o appoint_v ceremony_n or_o right_n of_o a_o inferior_a order_n to_o this_o this_o you_o seem_v to_o deny_v and_o build_v upon_o the_o command_n of_o not_o add_v to_o or_o diminish_v from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o to_o add_v to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v to_o add_v something_o as_o the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o for_o if_o i_o add_v some_o ceremony_n or_o circumstance_n unless_o i_o pretend_v that_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o a_o part_n of_o it_o it_o be_v no_o addition_n to_o the_o law_n teach_v for_o doctrine_n the_o commandment_n of_o man_n this_o be_v a_o addition_n to_o god_n law_n when_o i_o teach_v the_o commandment_n of_o man_n as_o doctrine_n that_o be_v as_o law_n of_o god_n but_o to_o teach_v the_o commandment_n of_o man_n only_o as_o the_o commandment_n of_o man_n this_o be_v not_o teach_v they_o as_o doctrine_n and_o so_o no_o addition_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n thus_o for_o example_n when_o we_o teach_v the_o use_n of_o a_o surplice_n only_o as_o a_o commandment_n of_o man_n we_o add_v not_o to_o the_o law_n but_o if_o you_o forbid_v a_o surplice_n as_o a_o thing_n unlawful_a though_o command_v by_o humane_a law_n than_o you_o teach_v this_o as_o a_o doctrine_n and_o so_o you_o not_o we_o add_v to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o forbid_v be_v as_o much_o a_o law_n of_o god_n as_o enjoin_v now_o then_o there_o be_v but_o too_o thing_n to_o make_v our_o ceremony_n or_o right_n unlawful_a and_o consequent_o which_o can_v justify_v a_o separation_n on_o their_o account_n 1._o if_o they_o be_v forbid_v in_o scripture_n 2._o if_o we_o teach_v they_o as_o doctrine_n and_o law_n of_o god_n and_o see_v neither_o of_o these_o be_v the_o case_n i_o see_v no_o three_o thing_n that_o can_v justify_v a_o separation_n upon_o this_o account_n let_v we_o keep_v close_o to_o this_o point_n till_o we_o have_v end_v it_o let_v we_o settle_v to_o ourselves_o some_o rule_n by_o which_o we_o must_v govern_v ourselves_o in_o this_o important_a enquiry_n now_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o some_o passage_n in_o your_o paper_n which_o relate_v to_o these_o for_o the_o other_o i_o pass_v by_o as_o i_o say_v at_o first_o you_o say_v that_o with_o we_o no_o kneel_v no_o sacrament_n no_o cross_n no_o baptism_n nay_o though_o the_o salvation_n of_o infant_n die_v without_o it_o be_v question_v yet_o run_v a_o risque_n here_o rather_o than_o go_v without_o the_o cross_n good_a god_n say_v you_o what_o madness_n do_v superstition_n lead_v man_n to_o now_o may_v i_o not_o just_o return_v this_o exclamation_n what_o will_v prejudice_v etc._n etc._n make_v man_n believe_v for_o in_o the_o office_n of_o private_a baptism_n which_o be_v particular_o appoint_v for_o child_n that_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o death_n the_o cross_n be_v not_o use_v and_o whoever_o use_v it_o in_o private_a baptism_n transgress_v the_o rubric_n and_o the_o common_a prayer_n which_o be_v a_o demonstration_n that_o our_o church_n do_v not_o think_v the_o cross_n necessary_a in_o baptism_n or_o to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o it_o yet_o you_o bring_v this_o as_o a_o argument_n that_o she_o do_v think_v it_o necessary_a and_o so_o necessary_a as_o to_o risque_n a_o child_n die_v without_o baptism_n rather_o than_o go_v without_o the_o cross_n as_o great_a a_o mistake_n be_v that_o of_o no_o kneel_v no_o sacrament_n every_o day_n it_o be_v give_v to_o sick_a person_n without_o kneel_v and_o where_o there_o be_v any_o reasonable_a excuse_n it_o will_v not_o be_v exact_v but_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o will_v you_o give_v it_o in_o your_o church_n to_o
