this_o i_o have_v however_o gain_v another_o advantage_n and_o success_n by_o my_o advice_n viz._n that_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o allegiance_n you_o must_v quit_v your_o pretension_n to_o ecclesiastical_a doctrine_n as_o the_o ground_n of_o your_o recusancy_n deprivation_n and_o separation_n and_o consequent_o there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o your_o low_a and_o causeless_a clamour_n for_o your_o glorious_a passive_a doctrine_n as_o the_o cause_n of_o your_o suffering_n all_o the_o remain_a question_n now_o be_v between_o we_o whether_o the_o present_a constitution_n be_v full_o settle_v which_o be_v a_o point_n of_o law_n not_o religion_n to_o be_v resolve_v by_o the_o state_n not_o the_o church_n by_o the_o court_n civil_a not_o the_o court_n christian_n and_o hereupon_o such_o civil_a judgement_n be_v to_o be_v secure_v by_o religion_n and_o conscience_n while_o they_o stand_v reverse_v and_o so_o you_o be_v oblige_v to_o acquiesce_v in_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o parliament_n in_o this_o point_n but_o while_o you_o oppose_v this_o upon_o principle_n of_o conscience_n consider_v the_o danger_n of_o heresy_n which_o lie_v before_o you_o maj._n whosoever_o teach_v man_n to_o oppose_v the_o course_n of_o public_a judgement_n in_o civil_n upon_o private_a opinion_n to_o the_o contrary_a teach_v rule_n of_o sedition_n against_o civil_a government_n itself_o and_o in_o they_o practical_a error_n min._n but_o you_o teach_v man_n to_o oppose_v the_o public_a judgement_n of_o the_o nation_n for_o our_o full_a settlement_n in_o the_o present_a state_n ergo_fw-la concl._n you_o teach_v rule_n of_o sedition_n against_o civil_a government_n itself_o and_o in_o they_o practical_a error_n or_o thus_o in_o another_o form_n maj._n he_o that_o teach_v man_n to_o act_v against_o confess_a principle_n of_o truth_n aught_o to_o be_v exauctorate_v min._n but_o you_o teach_v man_n to_o practice_n disobedience_n contrary_a to_o those_o principle_n of_o truth_n which_o you_o be_v force_v to_o confess_v ergo_fw-la concl._n you_o be_v to_o be_v exauctorate_v now_o i_o can_v for_o my_o part_n see_v how_o you_o can_v avoid_v this_o charge_n which_o your_o own_o rigour_n against_o we_o have_v extort_a from_o i_o and_o yet_o i_o have_v urge_v it_o for_o no_o ill_a end_n but_o only_o to_o lay_v before_o you_o the_o ill_a aspect_n of_o your_o division_n upon_o those_o your_o very_a principle_n in_o which_o you_o glory_v for_o here_o i_o can_v more_o just_o enclose_v you_o with_o your_o vindicator_n dilemma_n viz._n that_o if_o you_o separate_v without_o principle_n you_o be_v then_o schismatical_a if_o upon_o principle_n you_o incur_v heresy_n but_o if_o this_o be_v so_o the_o church_n and_o state_n may_v according_o to_o your_o own_o rule_n eject_v you_o without_o a_o synod_n which_o i_o compassionate_o beg_v you_o tender_o to_o consider_v dyscher_fw-fr well_o let_v our_o cause_n be_v what_o it_o will_v in_o fact_n or_o opinion_n i_o look_v upon_o these_o lay_v and_o parliamentary_a form_n of_o deprivation_n to_o be_v very_o dangerous_a to_o the_o spiritual_a franchise_n of_o the_o church_n though_o we_o suppose_v that_o such_o servile_a and_o gradual_a concurrence_n of_o the_o church_n do_v give_v they_o a_o ecclesiastical_a effect_n for_o that_o they_o destroy_v out_o of_o the_o faith_n of_o christian_n the_o sense_n of_o those_o spiritual_a liberty_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n that_o by_o a_o divine_a charter_n and_o a_o apostolic_a descent_n belong_v to_o she_o and_o instil_v a_o fatal_a erastianism_n into_o man_n principle_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v receive_v but_o censure_v by_o the_o church_n for_o that_o your_o party_n find_v their_o authority_n on_o this_o false_a proposition_n that_o the_o church_n and_o state_n of_o england_n be_v the_o same_o society_n whereas_o there_o be_v many_o subject_n of_o the_o state_n that_o be_v no_o member_n of_o the_o church_n as_o apostate_n papist_n heretic_n and_o all_o unbaptised_a person_n though_o yet_o be_v this_o hypothesis_n true_a that_o all_o the_o same_o person_n be_v equal_o member_n of_o the_o church_n and_o state_n yet_o as_o they_o be_v a_o church_n and_o spiritual_o sociate_v they_o must_v be_v govern_v by_o a_o spiritual_a authority_n and_o as_o a_o state_n by_o the_o civil_a power_n of_o the_o sword_n nor_o must_v the_o identity_n of_o the_o people_n confound_v the_o distinction_n of_o power_n beside_o as_o we_o be_v a_o church_n we_o be_v of_o right_o sociate_v into_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o whole_a catholic_a church_n to_o be_v maintain_v by_o a_o uniform_a ecclesiastical_a conduct_n the_o only_a ligament_n of_o catholic_a communion_n but_o as_o we_o be_v a_o state_n the_o catholic_a church_n be_v not_o concern_v with_o we_o to_o take_v any_o cognisance_n of_o our_o civil_a procedure_n but_o if_o as_o a_o church_n we_o corrupt_v the_o ecclesiastical_a government_n into_o civil_a we_o break_v off_o and_o excommunicate_v ourselves_o from_o the_o catholic_a unity_n by_o desert_v the_o catholic_a form_n and_o tie_n of_o
