he_o will_v have_v prove_v it_o of_o apostolical_a institution_n but_o it_o seem_v it_o be_v certain_o in_o practice_n among_o the_o primitive_a christian_n at_o antioch_n who_o example_n he_o do_v

of_o reason_n to_o be_v unsatisfied_a which_o make_v i_o fear_v if_o perhaps_o i_o shall_v dissent_v in_o opinion_n from_o this_o epistler_n i_o may_v be_v think_v at_o least_o in_o his_o conceit_n to_o incur_v a_o sharp_a censure_n both_o of_o reason_n and_o honesty_n which_o i_o confess_v at_o first_o somewhat_o trouble_v i_o till_o i_o remember_v you_o be_v wont_a to_o say_v that_o when_o once_o vessel_n make_v such_o noise_n as_o these_o it_o be_v a_o shrewd_a sign_n they_o be_v empty_a he_o who_o write_v the_o letter_n seem_v most_o desirous_a of_o peace_n and_o true_o so_o be_o i_o beside_o we_o agree_v in_o this_o that_o we_o must_v not_o commit_v sin_n for_o a_o good_a cause_n so_o that_o if_o peace_n itself_o can_v be_v obtain_v without_o that_o guilt_n we_o must_v be_v content_a with_o a_o worse_a estate_n but_o you_o very_o well_o know_v with_o how_o many_o several_a deceit_n our_o affection_n can_v mislead_v our_o reason_n you_o remember_v who_o it_o be_v that_o say_v it_o to_o the_o very_a face_n of_o a_o prophet_n i_o have_v keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o yet_o his_o sin_n remain_v a_o great_a sin_n still_o and_o much_o the_o worse_a because_o he_o excuse_v it_o for_o his_o guilt_n be_v less_o that_o commit_v a_o sin_n only_o than_o his_o that_o undertake_v to_o defend_v it_o because_o this_o cut_v off_o all_o repentance_n nay_o it_o make_v a_o sin_n grow_v up_o to_o that_o more_o wicked_a height_n of_o a_o scandal_n and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o snare_n to_o the_o sinner_n himself_o but_o it_o warrant_v many_o more_o to_o be_v sinful_a whether_o this_o oxford-londoner_n for_o so_o i_o take_v this_o epistler_n to_o be_v have_v not_o defend_v or_o make_v apology_n for_o sin_n and_o have_v not_o in_o that_o sense_n

this_o case_n whether_o not_o only_o in_o point_n of_o honour_n but_o in_o point_n of_o justice_n and_o conscience_n the_o king_n for_o his_o own_o peace_n can_v leave_v his_o friend_n to_o such_o

not_o presume_v to_o question_v either_o your_o reason_n or_o honesty_n nor_o shall_v i_o persuade_v the_o king_n friend_n that_o they_o shall_v banish_v themselves_o unless_o it_o be_v to_o do_v that_o great_a favour_n to_o the_o two_o house_n of_o westminster_n as_o to_o keep_v they_o from_o some_o future_a inhuman_a act_n of_o oppression_n and_o blood_n because_o they_o shall_v have_v

those_o sir_n i_o shall_v speak_v with_o less_o hesitation_n and_o clear_o tell_v you_o the_o epistler_n be_v quite_o out_o and_o though_o you_o know_v i_o a_o great_a honourer_n of_o your_o profession_n yet_o i_o can_v hold_v it_o fit_a for_o you_o to_o decide_v case_n of_o conscience_n or_o in_o humane_a action_n to_o tell_v we_o what_o be_v sin_n or_o not_o sin_n and_o i_o be_o confident_a sir_n you_o will_v not_o take_v this_o ill_a at_o my_o hand_n 1._o for_o episcopacy_n his_o word_n be_v if_o i_o mistake_v not_o and_o if_o i_o do_v i_o pray_v you_o inform_v i_o the_o opinion_n that_o the_o government_n by_o bishop_n be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la have_v but_o late_o be_v countenance_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o that_o but_o by_o some_o few_o of_o the_o more_o lordly_a clergy_n these_o last_o word_n make_v i_o suspect_v some_o passion_n in_o the_o writer_n as_o be_v in_o scorn_n heretofore_o take_v up_o by_o man_n who_o for_o a_o long_a time_n be_v

epistler_n who_o seem_v so_o zealous_a for_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v angry_a at_o that_o so_o that_o though_o his_o profession_n be_v that_o he_o have_v undergo_v labour_n and_o hazard_n for_o the_o episcopal_a government_n yet_o true_o sir_n i_o must_v think_v that_o it_o be_v then_o only_o fit_a for_o the_o church_n to_o give_v he_o thanks_o when_o she_o have_v do_v all_o her_o other_o

not_o a_o theft_n and_o more_o viz._n a_o theft_n of_o something_o dedicate_v to_o holy_a use_n a_o communion_n cup_n for_o instance_n or_o the_o like_a and_o theft_n you_o know_v must_v be_v of_o

may_v perhaps_o conceive_v they_o make_v themselves_o pleasant_a with_o a_o feather_n and_o that_o this_o argument_n be_v as_o light_v a_o thing_n appear_v before_o by_o my_o 3_o d_o answer_n for_o can_v any_o man_n think_v in_o earnest_n that_o it_o be_v sacrilege_n and_o so_o a_o sin_n to_o take_v away_o a_o cup_n from_o a_o church_n but_o it_o be_v none_o to_o take_v away_o a_o manor_n as_o

why_o may_v not_o some_o use_n the_o word_n furtum_fw-la in_o sabinus_n sense_n as_o well_o as_o other_o may_n in_o vlpian_n and_o then_o sacrilege_n may_v be_v proper_o a_o theft_n and_o as_o

do_v the_o londoner_n learn_v that_o furtum_fw-la strictè_fw-la sumptum_fw-la be_v that_o genus_fw-la of_o sacrilege_n so_o that_o where_o there_o be_v no_o theft_n in_o the_o civil_a law_n sense_n there_o be_v none_o of_o this_o kind_n of_o sin_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v neither_o intimate_v by_o the_o greek_a nor_o latin_a word_n nor_o i_o believe_v deliver_v by_o any_o learned_a author_n

with_o the_o doctor_n and_o tell_v he_o that_o for_o his_o particular_a he_o do_v not_o yet_o understand_v which_o for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v believe_v and_o do_v only_o wonder_v that_o he_o will_v laugh_v at_o another_o in_o a_o point_n he_o can_v no_o better_o satisfy_v he_o in_o he_o go_v on_o the_o hire_n of_o a_o labourer_n at_o most_o as_o sit_v maintenance_n be_v all_o that_o can_v be_v challenge_v but_o the_o maintenance_n must_v be_v honourable_a or_o else_o we_o christian_n use_n god_n like_o no_o other_o man_n far_o worse_o i_o be_o sure_a than_o do_v pagan_n and_o when_o such_o a_o maintenance_n have_v be_v once_o give_v in_o land_n the_o acceptation_n of_o it_o will_v soon_o make_v the_o gift_n immovable_a so_o that_o it_o signify_v little_a to_o say_v the_o apostle_n

in_o her_o persecution_n the_o disciple_n be_v to_o fly_v and_o land_n we_o know_v be_v no_o moveable_n and_o it_o be_v very_o strange_a if_o not_o ridiculous_a to_o affirm_v that_o ananias_n and_o

he_o proceed_v which_o i_o mention_v to_o avoid_v the_o groundless_a argument_n upon_o the_o land_n and_o portion_n allot_v to_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n by_o god_n appointment_n to_o who_o our_o minister_n have_v no_o succession_n our_o minister_n challenge_v nothing_o which_o belong_v to_o the_o tribe_n by_o levitical_a right_n but_o where_o thing_n be_v once_o give_v to_o god_n for_o the_o

which_o alone_o give_v strength_n to_o their_o title_n out_o toto_fw-la coelo_fw-la have_v churchman_n no_o title_n to_o those_o possession_n they_o enjoy_v but_o by_o the_o law_n of_o this_o land_n

may_v alienate_v without_o punishment_n from_o the_o law_n of_o england_n yet_o they_o can_v do_v it_o without_o guilt_n of_o sin_n as_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n evangelical_n and_o moral_n
