A49125	The non-conformists plea for peace impleaded in answer to several late writings of Mr. Baxter and others, pretending to shew reasons for the sinfulness of conformity.	Long, Thomas, 1621-1707.	1680 (1680)	Wing L2977; ESTC R25484	74,581	138

it_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o have_v some_o exception_n 2._o the_o rubric_n do_v not_o say_v a_o rule_n but_o rule_n in_o the_o plural_a now_o though_o this_o rule_n be_v defective_a yet_o mr._n

it_o be_v afterward_o intimate_v it_o have_v sometime_o 29._o day_n so_o that_o this_o objection_n be_v frivolous_a and_o serve_v only_o to_o show_v that_o the_o nonconformist_n find_v great_a want_n of_o more_o substantial_a reason_n against_o conformity_n while_o they_o catch_v at_o such_o shadow_n as_o this_o p._n 162._o we_o assent_v to_o approve_v of_o and_o consent_v to_o these_o word_n in_o

mr._n baxter_n be_v guilty_a of_o another_o wilful_a mistake_n in_o this_o particular_a great_a than_o the_o former_a when_o he_o say_v we_o assent_n and_o consent_n and_o approve_v of_o these_o

imperfection_n which_o yet_o mr._n baxter_n insinuate_v as_o if_o it_o be_v include_v under_o this_o declaration_n in_o the_o preface_n and_o do_v concern_v the_o present_a conformist_n which_o mr._n baxter_n know_v to_o be_v false_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o end_n of_o such_o alteration_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o meaning_n of_o that_o profession_n in_o the_o preface_n as_o to_o that_o translation_n of_o ps_n 105.28_o which_o in_o our_o present_a liturgy_n be_v they_o be_v not_o obedient_a to_o his_o word_n and_o in_o the_o new_a translation_n they_o rebel_v not_o against_o his_o word_n which_o mr._n baxter_n say_v be_v clear_a contrary_n it_o will_v not_o appear_v to_o be_v so_o if_o it_o be_v consider_v that_o in_o the_o translation_n use_v in_o the_o liturgy_n which_o be_v according_a to_o the_o septuagint_n the_o arabic_a syriack_n ethiopick_n and_o many_o latin_a copy_n the_o psalmist_n be_v understand_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o egyptian_n who_o notwithstanding_o the_o

interpretation_n be_v true_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o history_n and_o therefore_o if_o mr._n baxter_n can_v have_v give_v they_o a_o favourable_a construction_n as_o be_v desire_v by_o his_o superior_n he_o will_v not_o have_v say_v they_o be_v clear_o contrary_a the_o same_o answer_n may_v serve_v to_o the_o exception_n against_o the_o collect_v of_o the_o old_a book_n which_o for_o several_a day_n together_o use_v the_o word_n this_o day_n which_o be_v now_o alter_v in_o the_o new_a book_n into_o this_o time_n which_o be_v the_o same_o with_o day_n in_o a_o large_a sense_n but_o little_a reason_n have_v they_o to_o object_n against_o any_o word_n or_o phrase_n use_v in_o our_o liturgy_n who_o be_v still_o fond_a of_o sing_v psalm_n according_a to_o the_o translation_n of_o sternhold_n and_o hopkins_n far_o more_o defective_a than_o any_o in_o the_o liturgy_n the_o next_o objection_n be_v concern_v the_o read_n of_o some_o part_n of_o the_o apocrypha_fw-la concern_v which_o i_o answer_v in_o general_a that_o the_o church_n have_v sufficient_o distinguish_v in_o her_o article_n and_o homily_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o liturgy_n itself_o between_o the_o

for_o that_o time_n exclude_v answ_n this_o be_v ill_o urge_v by_o those_o nonconformist_n who_o for_o many_o year_n together_o omit_v the_o read_n either_o of_o psalm_n or_o other_o scripture_n in_o their_o public_a as_o well_o as_o private_a meeting_n content_v themselves_o with_o a_o sing_a psalm_n and_o a_o harangue_n of_o extemporary_a prayer_n and_o preach_v 2._o many_o ancient_a father_n

the_o cure_n of_o church_n division_n which_o be_v all_o write_v long_o since_o the_o prognostication_n this_o extraordinary_a diligence_n about_o so_o inconsiderable_a a_o circumstance_n make_v i_o suspect_v that_o it_o be_v a_o soar_n place_n upon_o which_o he_o rub_v so_o frequent_o and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o itch_n of_o vain_a glory_n that_o occasion_v it_o and_o i_o believe_v when_o i_o have_v impart_v my_o second_o thought_n to_o the_o reader_n he_o will_v be_v much_o of_o the_o same_o mind_n with_o i_o for_o first_o i_o consider_v that_o there_o need_v no_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n to_o foretell_v what_o effect_n nonconformity_n have_v produce_v many_o year_n before_o 1661._o when_o he_o pretend_v this_o prognostication_n be_v write_v nor_o yet_o to_o foretell_v what_o the_o nonconformist_n be_v resolve_v as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lay_v to_o attempt_v with_o all_o their_o might_n wherewith_o i_o find_v they_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o threaten_v the_o king_n and_o the_o bishop_n as_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o observe_v but_o second_o he_o tell_v we_o p._n 28._o n._n 105._o that_o where_o papist_n or_o heretic_n be_v shut_v out_o by_o law_n they_o will_v secret_o contribute_v the_o utmost_a of_o their_o endeavour_n to_o make_v the_o suffering_n of_o dissent_v protestant_n as_o grievous_a as_o possible_o they_o can_v that_o in_o despite_n of_o they_o their_o own_o necessity_n may_v compel_v they_o to_o cry_v out_o for_o liberty_n till_o they_o procure_v a_o common_a toleration_n for_o all_o and_o open_v the_o door_n for_o papist_n and_o heretic_n as_o well_o as_o for_o themselves_o where_o n._n b._n mr._n baxter_n speak_v of_o a_o toleration_n which_o have_v be_v procure_v and_o a_o door_n open_v for_o papist_n and_o heretic_n which_o must_v needs_o look_v back_o to_o the_o time_n past_a and_o in_o all_o probability_n he_o intend_v that_o indulgence_n which_o upon_o the_o nonconformist_n cry_n for_o liberty_n be_v grant_v by_o his_o majesty_n about_o seven_o year_n since_o and_o if_o so_o than_o this_o prognostication_n be_v write_v some_o time_n after_o that_o common_a toleration_n which_o be_v of_o a_o much_o late_a date_n than_o 1661._o and_o so_o some_o word_n and_o phrase_n seem_v to_o be_v as_o new_a imposition_n subscription_n and_o oath_n and_o serve_v the_o bishop_n in_o jail_n but_o i_o lay_v no_o stress_n on_o these_o 3._o mr._n baxter_n tell_v the_o reader_n the_o prognostication_n be_v write_v 1661._o except_o the_o sixteen_o last_o line_n which_o lines_n p._n 66._o begin_v thus_o i_o say_v all_o this_o be_v etc._n etc._n now_o it_o be_v obvious_a to_o every_o reader_n that_o there_o be_v a_o necessary_a connection_n and_o dependence_n between_o these_o sixteen_o line_n and_o that_o which_o precede_v for_o in_o the_o precede_a paragraph_n which_o he_o call_v a_o consectary_n you_o have_v these_o nominative_a case_n which_o have_v no_o verb_n to_o answer_v they_o until_o you_o take_v in_o part_n of_o these_o sixteen_o line_n viz._n all_o the_o romish_a dream_n and_o all_o the_o plot_n etc._n etc._n i_o say_v all_o this_o be_v whereby_o it_o appear_v to_o i_o that_o the_o sixteen_o last_o line_n be_v of_o the_o same_o contexture_n and_o write_v at_o the_o same_o time_n as_o the_o rest_n be_v which_o can_v not_o be_v in_o 1661._o for_o those_o three_o book_n of_o he_o mention_v in_o the_o sixteen_o line_n be_v not_o then_o extant_a so_o that_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o he_o that_o read_v the_o whole_a consectary_n will_v be_v of_o my_o mind_n that_o it_o be_v write_v at_o the_o same_o time_n as_o the_o last_o sixteen_o line_n be_v and_o if_o so_o the_o prognostication_n be_v write_v since_o the_o book_n call_v the_o true_a and_o only_a term_n of_o concord_n print_v 1689._o i_o perceive_v by_o mr._n baxters_n contexture_n that_o he_o have_v not_o well_o learn_v the_o art_n of_o weave_v spiritualise_v 4._o i_o suspect_v also_o the_o reason_n which_o mr._n baxter_n give_v why_o though_o it_o be_v write_v in_o 1661._o yet_o it_o be_v cast_v by_o viz._n lest_o it_o shall_v offend_v the_o guilty_a now_o it_o be_v notorious_a who_o mr._n baxter_n condemn_v as_o guilty_a throughout_o the_o whole_a prognostication_n namely_o the_o bishop_n who_o he_o account_v enemy_n to_o the_o nonconformist_n and_o it_o be_v as_o notorious_a what_o little_a care_n he_o have_v of_o

not_o warm_a in_o their_o chair_n nor_o do_v the_o act_n for_o uniformity_n take_v effect_n until_o bartholomew_n day_n 1662._o and_o the_o sectarian_n spirit_n which_o then_o prevail_v among_o the_o

present_a juncture_n of_o affair_n in_o 1680._o when_o the_o bishop_n and_o conformity_n be_v enjoin_v and_o confirm_v by_o law_n and_o so_o the_o offence_n be_v much_o great_a and_o less_o like_a to_o have_v its_o desire_a success_n but_o if_o all_o these_o conjecture_n shall_v be_v groundless_a yet_o the_o very_a publish_n of_o a_o prognostication_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v after_o they_o

1661._o or_o which_o i_o rather_o think_v in_o 1680._o the_o second_o thing_n which_o the_o reader_n may_v observe_v be_v that_o mr._n baxter_n by_o publish_v this_o prognostication_n have_v render_v
