idle_a ceremony_n now_o mark_v reader_n how_o he_o plead_v for_o his_o mother_n as_o touch_v the_o worship_n he_o say_v nothing_o of_o it_o but_o of_o the_o rite_n only_o which_o be_v evil_n a_o hundred_o fold_n less_o than_o the_o other_o again_o that_o every_o church_n be_v not_o to_o be_v leave_v which_o have_v some_o thing_n in_o it_o by_o participation_n idolatrous_a i_o know_v no_o man_n hold_v the_o contrary_a therefore_o i_o can_v tell_v for_o what_o end_n he_o speak_v it_o much_o less_o why_o he_o put_v a_o scismaticall_a conceit_n upon_o the_o rej._n who_o word_n if_o they_o be_v well_o consider_v have_v substance_n and_o weight_n in_o they_o and_o not_o conceit_n &_o to_o speak_v true_o what_o i_o think_v d._n ames_n his_o conceit_n in_o frame_v this_o answer_n be_v not_o of_o the_o best_a for_o thus_o they_o seem_v to_o argue_v a_o church_n which_o have_v something_o in_o it_o by_o participation_n idolatrous_a be_v not_o to_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v such_o ergo._fw-la now_o according_a to_o this_o argument_n no_o false_a worshipper_n shall_v be_v leave_v papist_n jew_n nor_o turk_n who_o see_v not_o the_o lightness_n of_o it_o notwithstanding_o except_o it_o be_v this_o way_n apply_v for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v tell_v what_o to_o make_v of_o it_o if_o any_o object_n he_o mean_v that_o the_o ministry_n worship_n and_o government_n of_o the_o eng._n assembly_n be_v not_o so_o bad_a as_o to_o be_v separate_v from_o i_o answer_v this_o be_v yet_o to_o prove_v the_o which_o thing_n lie_v now_o full_a upon_o he_o to_o do_v if_o he_o will_v have_v take_v the_o right_a point_n and_o not_o needless_o to_o tell_v we_o of_o that_o which_o no_o man_n either_o ask_v of_o he_o or_o doubt_v of_o 3_o though_o every_o church_n be_v not_o to_o be_v condemn_v etc._n etc._n yet_o such_o may_v be_v the_o corrupt_a state_n of_o some_o as_o separation_n from_o they_o be_v both_o lawful_a and_o necessary_a the_o nonconformist_n say_v as_o much_o so_o the_o cause_n of_o separation_n 19_o be_v good_a the_o separation_n from_o a_o company_n where_o with_o we_o be_v first_o unite_v can_v be_v blame_v much_o less_o condemn_v of_o heresy_n the_o thing_n which_o the_o rej._n cheifelie_o insist_v upon_o be_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o separation_n from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v good_a if_o the_o nonconformist_n principle_n be_v true_a what_o they_o be_v he_o name_n d._n ames_n neither_o say_v they_o be_v true_a or_o false_a nor_o one_o word_n to_o any_o purpose_n unless_o this_o be_v viz._n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a utter_o to_o condemn_v and_o so_o to_o separate_v from_o a_o church_n for_o every_o thing_n therefore_o not_o for_o any_o thing_n 4._o touch_v the_o matter_n here_o insinuate_v against_o the_o person_n of_o d._n burg._n as_o if_o he_o mean_v not_o to_o practise_v what_o he_o profess_v i_o will_v leave_v it_o to_o himself_o to_o answer_v only_o this_o i_o say_v if_o he_o and_o other_o be_v so_o mind_v as_o he_o write_v certain_o they_o shall_v find_v nothing_o in_o d._n ames_n answer_v to_o inform_v they_o otherwise_o but_o that_o they_o may_v safe_o retain_v still_o the_o same_o opinion_n and_o separate_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n when_o they_o do_v believe_v the_o nonconformist_n principle_n to_o be_v true_a 5._o i_o wonder_v what_o move_v the_o d._n to_o mention_v only_a ceremony_n and_o to_o intimate_v as_o if_o the_o difference_n between_o they_o and_o the_o bb._n lie_v now_o main_o in_o this_o consider_v as_o he_o know_v well_o that_o these_o rite_n be_v very_a toy_n to_o other_o thing_n in_o question_n hear_v what_o they_o say_v the_o controversy_n betwixt_o we_o and_o the_o bishop_n be_v not_o for_o trifle_n as_o they_o will_v bear_v the_o world_n 18_o in_o hand_n as_o for_o a_o cap_n a_o tippet_n or_o surplus_n etc._n etc._n but_o for_o great_a note_n matter_n concern_v a_o true_a ministry_n and_o regiment_n of_o the_o church_n according_a to_o the_o word_n which_o thing_n once_o establish_v the_o other_o will_v melt_v away_o of_o themselves_o again_o another_o thus_o the_o question_n be_v not_o as_o it_o be_v every_o day_n in_o public_a sermon_n uncharitablie_o upbraid_v about_o trifle_n and_o thing_n of_o no_o weight_n as_o of_o variable_a ceremony_n and_o matter_n of_o circumstance_n which_o yet_o be_v to_o be_v square_v by_o counterp_v the_o sacred_a canon_n of_o holy_a scripture_n but_o about_o matter_n of_o no_o small_a importance_n even_o about_o the_o great_a and_o weighty_a cause_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n by_o what_o law_n and_o office_n his_o heritage_n be_v to_o be_v govern_v and_o protect_v that_o be_v of_o the_o whole_a discipline_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n whether_o it_o be_v to_o be_v order_v by_o the_o uncertain_a &_o deceivable_a weight_n of_o humane_a constitution_n or_o by_o the_o infallible_a oracle_n of_o god_n most_o holy_a testimony_n other_o thus_o our_o principal_a grief_n about_o the_o which_o alas_o brethren_n note_n we_o have_v now_o too_o long_o and_o unhappilie_o contend_v be_v that_o all_o false_a ministery_n and_o false_a government_n devise_v by_o man_n may_v be_v take_v away_o and_o a_o lawful_a ministry_n and_o a_o right_a church-power_n restore_v as_o for_o the_o square_a cap_n and_o such_o other_o toy_n which_o not_o without_o cause_n we_o disallow_v yet_o they_o do_v not_o so_o sore_o wound_v we_o as_o those_o great_a and_o weighty_a matter_n do_v 71._o from_o the_o which_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v derive_v and_o draw_v to_o the_o like_a purpose_n mr._n cartwright_n and_o other_o and_o be_v not_o those_o great_a and_o weighty_a thing_n in_o question_n still_o yes_o sure_o and_o therefore_o for_o what_o reason_n d._n ames_n pass_v they_o over_o without_o any_o word_n and_o speak_v of_o toy_n and_o trifle_n in_o comparison_n let_v the_o reader_n judge_n moreover_o he_o have_v little_a need_n to_o make_v himself_o so_o ignorant_a what_o the_o rei_fw-la mean_v by_o a_o principle_n what_o by_o separation_n for_o if_o he_o have_v have_v any_o list_n to_o the_o thing_n he_o can_v easy_o have_v understand_v the_o same_o for_o in_o truth_n a_o child_n may_v perceive_v if_o he_o read_v the_o place_n that_o d._n burg._n intend_v such_o principle_n as_o i_o before_o name_v from_o their_o write_n to_o wit_n that_o they_o say_v they_o want_v a_o right_a ministry_n worship_n and_o church-government_n but_o the_o proverb_n be_v here_o true_a who_o so_o blind_a as_o he_o that_o will_v not_o see_v the_o author_n of_o the_o preface_n to_o his_o book_n speak_v much_o like_a thereabouts_o this_o point_n a_o little_a there_o be_v add_v namely_o that_o christ_n our_o teacher_n and_o his_o aposile_n do_v join_v in_o the_o jew_n worship_n unto_o which_o be_v add_v many_o superstition_n as_o unlawful_a as_o their_o ceremony_n answ_n 1._o i_o may_v use_v his_o own_o word_n he_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o which_o he_o conclude_v for_o howsoever_o many_o superstitious_a tradition_n be_v use_v by_o the_o jew_n yet_o whether_o they_o be_v bring_v in_o and_o add_v to_o their_o sacred_a worship_n institute_v of_o god_n as_o any_o part_n thereof_o be_v doubtful_a and_o the_o contrary_a more_o probable_a 2._o to_o say_v that_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n do_v join_v in_o that_o worship_n to_o which_o many_o superstition_n be_v add_v be_v too_o presumptioeslie_o speak_v and_o i_o wish_v man_n to_o be_v more_o sober_a and_o not_o so_o 321._o bouldlie_o to_o affirm_v such_o groundless_a position_n to_o justify_v a_o corrupt_a and_o halt_a practice_n i_o know_v d._n ames_n have_v the_o like_a say_n that_o christ_n be_v present_a when_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n be_v observe_v in_o god_n worship_n but_o he_o deliver_v this_o only_a upon_o his_o own_o word_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v believe_v it_o according_o 3._o he_o say_v these_o superstition_n in_o the_o jew_n worship_n be_v as_o unlawful_a as_o their_o ceremony_n what_o testimony_n bring_v he_o for_o it_o as_o before_o none_o at_o all_o if_o such_o argument_n will_v pass_v a_o man_n may_v soon_o have_v enough_o to_o fill_v a_o cart_n with_o but_o note_v here_o 96._o how_o great_o they_o contradict_v one_o another_o they_o say_v even_o now_o that_o their_o ceremony_n be_v such_o idol_n as_o a_o man_n can_v lawful_o join_v with_o that_o worship_n where_o they_o be_v use_v yet_o here_o they_o say_v that_o they_o be_v not_o worse_o than_o be_v the_o superstition_n in_o the_o jew_n worship_n unto_o which_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n join_v now_o which_o shall_v a_o man_n believe_v of_o they_o not_o the_o late_a for_o he_o give_v no_o reason_n for_o what_o he_o speak_v but_o the_o other_o do_v 4._o if_o it_o shall_v be_v all_o grant_v he_o howbeit_o he_o prove_v nothing_o yet_o it_o
be_v the_o true_a church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n 5._o touch_v his_o comparison_n it_o be_v a_o beg_v foolish_o of_o the_o question_n for_o first_o let_v they_o prove_v themselves_o to_o be_v in_o the_o house_n and_o then_o they_o shall_v hear_v what_o we_o we_o will_v say_v of_o the_o window_n and_o backdoor_n from_o pag._n 212._o to_o 237._o he_o attempt_v to_o prove_v that_o man_n may_v lawful_o join_v in_o divine_a worship_n with_o the_o wicked_a touch_v this_o thing_n although_o it_o concern_v not_o much_o our_o matter_n in_o hand_n yet_o i_o will_v write_v a_o few_o word_n in_o answer_n to_o his_o long_a talk_n in_o this_o chapter_n first_o he_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n have_v religious_a communion_n with_o infidel_n but_o this_o be_v a_o false_a doctrine_n for_o a_o man_n may_v preach_v the_o word_n and_o yet_o not_o have_v spiritual_a communion_n with_o all_o which_o be_v present_a and_o hear_v the_o same_o and_o this_o must_v necessarisy_n be_v so_o because_o otherwise_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o every_o one_o when_o he_o teach_v communicate_v with_o the_o devil_n for_o in_o likelihood_n he_o be_v constant_o there_o with_o the_o rest_n indeed_o mr._n dayrel_n word_n import_v no_o less_o but_o i_o hope_v he_o have_v not_o leave_v any_o behind_o he_o of_o so_o corrupt_a and_o vile_a a_o judgement_n 2._o he_o set_v down_o a_o manifest_a untruth_n for_o we_o do_v not_o affirm_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o religious_a communion_n but_o with_o member_n of_o a_o visible_a church_n our_o profession_n and_o practice_n daily_o be_v otherwise_o yet_o so_o that_o they_o be_v such_o person_n howbeit_o not_o in_o a_o church_n state_n yet_o to_o be_v judge_v to_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n by_o their_o gracious_a and_o holy_a walk_n 3._o whereas_o he_o affirm_v that_o we_o separate_v from_o they_o because_o wicked_a and_o profane_a people_n be_v suffer_v to_o come_v unto_o their_o worship_n this_o also_o be_v untrue_a for_o we_o leave_v they_o rather_o because_o the_o worship_n it_o self_n be_v wicked_a and_o profane_a as_o we_o have_v from_o their_o own_o write_n already_o show_v 4._o in_o page_n 220._o he_o speak_v enough_o to_o justify_v our_o practice_n for_o thus_o he_o write_v we_o may_v not_o have_v religious_a communion_n or_o partake_v in_o divine_a worship_n with_o idolater_n in_o their_o false_a and_o idolatrous_a worship_n heathen_a or_o antichristian_a but_o must_v separate_v and_o come_v out_o from_o among_o they_o and_o a_o little_a after_o he_o give_v a_o reason_n idolater_n and_o false_a worshipper_n in_o their_o worship_n do_v not_o worship_n god_n but_o indeed_o the_o devil_n not_o christ_n but_o belial_n etc._n etc._n if_o this_o be_v true_a in_o what_o a_o fearful_a case_n then_o be_v the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n who_o serve_v christ_n by_o that_o idol_n book_n consider_v the_o same_o be_v affirm_v by_o the_o precise_a of_o they_o to_o be_v a_o idolatrous_a and_o false_a worship_n yea_o and_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o this_o mr._n dayr_n will_v have_v say_v as_o much_o too_o if_o he_o have_v write_v of_o it_o against_o the_o prelate_n 5._o by_o his_o own_o confession_n they_o be_v all_o levened_a through_o the_o iniquity_n one_o of_o another_o for_o thus_o he_o say_v 230._o the_o open_a sin_n of_o a_o man_n and_o impunity_n thereof_o defile_v they_o that_o have_v authority_n and_o power_n to_o punish_v the_o delinquent_n and_o do_v it_o not_o that_o be_v make_v they_o also_o guilty_a of_o sin_n or_o to_o partake_v in_o that_o sin_n now_o compare_v with_o this_o their_o position_n in_o page_n 134_o etc._n etc._n where_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o authority_n and_o power_n to_o punish_v the_o delinquent_n belong_v whole_o to_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o not_o to_o the_o bh._n chancellor_n official_o see_v therefore_o most_o horrible_a sin_n be_v open_o commit_v among_o they_o and_o no_o mean_n of_o reformation_n be_v use_v by_o those_o which_o be_v thereto_o only_o call_v it_o must_v needs_o follow_v if_o mr._n dayr_n and_o his_o brethren_n speak_v the_o truth_n that_o all_o their_o parish_n be_v defile_v and_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o each_o other_o sin_n and_o do_v constant_o partake_v in_o the_o know_a transgression_n one_o of_o another_o 6._o whereas_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o place_n in_o hag._n 2._o 13._o 14._o do_v signify_v spiritual_a pollution_n and_o that_o the_o apostle_n in_o 1._o cor._n 5._o 6._o by_o a_o little_a leven_a etc._n etc._n mean_v that_o the_o whole_a assembly_n may_v become_v guilty_a and_o defile_v by_o open_a sin_n i_o answer_v these_o scripture_n be_v not_o only_o by_o we_o thus_o interpret_v but_o also_o by_o d._n ames_n and_o other_o learned_a 56._o man_n and_o therefore_o herein_o he_o have_v they_o as_o much_o as_o we_o against_o he_o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o other_o scripture_n which_o he_o accuse_v we_o of_o pervert_v if_o it_o be_v needful_a i_o can_v show_v how_o expositor_n do_v apply_v they_o as_o we_o do_v and_o so_o do_v the_o nonconformist_n in_o all_o their_o write_n against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n notwithstanding_o this_o man_n cast_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n stood_n of_o reproach_n after_o we_o but_o this_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n if_o we_o take_v a_o view_n of_o their_o write_n which_o have_v stand_v for_o error_n and_o falsehood_n for_o when_o the_o truth_n have_v bring_v for_o her_o defence_n the_o evident_a scripture_n papist_n etc._n have_v be_v wont_a to_o carp_v at_o the_o

have_v it_o observe_v how_o pretty_o he_o prove_v the_o separatist_n to_o pervert_v the_o scripture_n to_o wit_n because_o he_o understand_v they_o otherwise_o then_o they_o do_v concern_v other_o passage_n in_o his_o book_n i_o judge_v they_o not_o worth_a a_o answer_n if_o there_o be_v any_o i_o be_o willing_a that_o he_o shall_v take_v they_o for_o his_o advantage_n which_o undertake_v to_o

i_o in_o this_o chapter_n make_v answer_n unto_o it_o that_o so_o the_o godly_a mind_v may_v judge_v whether_o the_o separatist_n or_o he_o be_v most_o unreasonable_a that_o the_o reader_n may_v not_o

whosoever_o mean_v to_o settle_v well_o the_o conscience_n especial_o in_o a_o main_a point_n of_o faith_n and_o religion_n ought_v necessary_o to_o bring_v good_a proof_n from_o the_o scripture_n for_o the_o thing_n whereof_o he_o speak_v for_o otherwise_o either_o man_n will_v give_v no_o trust_n unto_o his_o 14_o word_n or_o if_o they_o do_v it_o must_v be_v unadvised_o and_o howsoever_o
