my_o treatise_n as_o the_o not_o give_v a_o man_n self_n up_o unto_o any_o way_n and_o submit_v to_o any_o establishment_n pretend_v or_o plead_v to_o be_v of_o christ_n which_o he_o have_v not_o

though_o he_o may_v if_o he_o persist_v in_o his_o refusal_n prejudice_v his_o own_o edification_n so_o no_o more_o can_v a_o man_n peaceable_a relinquishment_n of_o the_o ordinary_a communion_n of_o one_o church_n in_o all_o its_o relation_n be_v so_o esteem_v these_o word_n have_v as_o yet_o unto_o i_o a_o very_o harmless_a aspect_n but_o our_o reverend_a author_n be_v sharp-sighted_a and_o see_v i_o know_v not_o what_o monster_n in_o they_o for_o first_o say_v he_o here_o he_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v a_o very_a sceptic_a in_o his_o way_n of_o independency_n why_o so_o i_o pray_v this_o will_v gratify_v all_o sect_n quaker_n and_o all_o with_o a_o toleration_n how_o i_o pray_v it_o be_v schism_n not_o toleration_n we_o be_v treat_v about_o but_o this_o leave_v they_o to_o judge_v of_o as_o well_o as_o other_o what_o be_v and_o what_o be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n why_o pray_v sr._n who_o be_v appoint_v to_o judge_v final_o for_o they_o why_o then_o shall_v they_o be_v deny_v their_o liberty_n but_o be_v that_o the_o thing_n under_o consideration_n have_v you_o conclude_v that_o their_o not_o submit_v to_o what_o they_o have_v not_o light_a for_o its_o institution_n be_v not_o proper_o schism_n you_o shall_v have_v see_v how_o far_o i_o have_v be_v concern_v in_o the_o inference_n but_o excursion_n unto_o quaker_n etc._n etc._n be_v one_o topic_n of_o such_o discourse_n but_o now_o he_o ask_v i_o one_o question_n it_o seem_v to_o try_v whither_o i_o be_o a_o sceptic_a or_o no_o whether_o say_v he_o do_v he_o believe_v his_o own_o way_n to_o be_v the_o only_o true_a way_n of_o christ_n for_o he_o have_v institute_v but_o one_o way_n have_v run_v from_o and_o renounce_v all_o other_o way_n in_o this_o nation_n i_o promise_v you_o this_o be_v a_o hard_a question_n and_o not_o easy_o answer_v if_o i_o deny_v it_o he_o will_v say_v i_o be_o a_o sceptic_a and_o other_o thing_n also_o will_v be_v bring_v in_o if_o i_o affirm_v it_o it_o may_v be_v he_o will_v say_v that_o i_o condemn_v their_o church_n for_o no_o church_n and_o the_o like_a it_o be_v good_a to_o be_v wary_a when_o a_o man_n have_v to_o deal_v with_o wise_a man_n how_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o our_o way_n and_o their_o way_n be_v for_o the_o substance_n of_o they_o one_o way_n and_o so_o i_o can_v say_v that_o my_o way_n be_v the_o

can_v go_v any_o far_o yet_o this_o i_o will_v add_v i_o doindeed_a believe_v that_o wherein_o their_o way_n and_o our_o way_n differ_v our_o way_n be_v according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n
