so_o apert_o presume_v to_o modellize_v the_o church_n according_a to_o their_o scantling_n to_o give_v we_o the_o true_a notion_n of_o moderation_n in_o more_o general_n term_n than_o hitherto_o that_o we_o may_v know_v better_o how_o to_o accommodate_v ourselves_o to_o their_o expectation_n and_o second_o that_o they_o will_v set_v about_o the_o work_n to_o purpose_n and_o prove_v by_o good_a rule_n and_o authority_n not_o their_o own_o the_o worst_a and_o weak_a of_o all_o man_n that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o now_o constitute_v in_o all_o its_o habiliment_n rite_n and_o ceremony_n be_v not_o the_o most_o moderate_a church_n can_v be_v produce_v or_o instance_a in_o by_o they_o nay_o i_o will_v venture_v to_o add_v one_o challenge_n more_o if_o we_o can_v make_v it_o

and_o they_o shall_v triumph_v with_o cause_n who_o have_v hitherto_o without_o cause_n this_o we_o will_v not_o have_v say_v but_o that_o we_o be_v persuade_v we_o can_v do_v it_o and_o that_o upon_o this_o our_o unquiet_a and_o querulous_a brethren_n will_v cease_v their_o complaint_n and_o rest_v satisfy_v with_o the_o present_a state_n of_o thing_n lest_o a_o worse_a thing_n happen_v unto_o they_o for_o though_o i_o approve_v not_o that_o say_n which_o mr._n baxter_n note_v as_o most_o dangerous_a to_o they_o and_o notorious_a nor_o can_v i_o tell_v but_o by_o his_o report_n ever_o any_o

we_o have_v shall_v be_v abolish_v or_o few_o last_o we_o demand_v of_o these_o man_n if_o they_o can_v give_v we_o the_o true_a and_o genuine_a definition_n of_o moderation_n they_o will_v at_o least_o draw_v up_o such_o a_o scheme_n of_o religion_n as_o shall_v be_v account_v by_o their_o own_o adherent_n moderate_a and_o not_o extreme_a i_o confess_v i_o have_v meet_v with_o a_o late_a

acknowledge_v to_o be_v indifferent_a lawful_a authority_n and_o judge_n of_o such_o matter_n require_v they_o but_o leave_v that_o i_o return_v to_o moderation_n a_o virtue_n who_o in_o his_o
