church_n to_o be_v no_o true_a church_n or_o that_o the_o church_n do_v impose_v such_o thing_n as_o condition_n of_o her_o ordinary_a constant_a lay-communion_n which_o be_v sinful_a or_o intolerable_a as_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o they_o can_v make_v no_o such_o plea_n good_a so_o must_v i_o hearty_o advise_v they_o to_o take_v heed_n because_o if_o they_o do_v stand_v upon_o such_o a_o one_o their_o separation_n be_v without_o cause_n if_o the_o parish-church_n be_v true_a church_n and_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n to_o go_v to_o they_o they_o know_v the_o charge_n lie_v against_o they_o i_o will_v add_v to_o separate_v from_o any_o church_n upon_o a_o reason_n common_a to_o other_o as_o because_o we_o have_v a_o liturgy_n or_o the_o like_a be_v virtual_o to_o separate_v from_o all_o that_o have_v one_o and_o consequent_o from_o the_o most_o of_o church_n in_o all_o age_n of_o the_o world_n the_o truth_n be_v there_o be_v such_o a_o impression_n get_v on_o the_o imagination_n of_o some_o of_o the_o dissenter_n that_o if_o they_o shall_v come_v in_o to_o the_o church_n so_o as_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o hierarchy_n and_o submit_v to_o her_o present_a imposition_n nay_o if_o they_o shall_v but_o touch_v with_o the_o conformist_n almost_o in_o any_o thing_n though_o only_o to_o go_v to_o church_n with_o they_o and_o take_v the_o sacrament_n there_o which_o yet_o as_o to_o lay-conformity_n be_v in_o effect_n indeed_o all_o they_o be_v afraid_a as_o if_o it_o be_v the_o receive_n upon_o they_o the_o mark_v of_o the_o beast_n i_o mean_v the_o do_v some_o very_a horrid_a thing_n they_o know_v not_o well_o else_o what_o and_o be_v therefore_o to_o be_v cast_v remediless_a into_o the_o lake_n of_o fire_n a_o business_n real_o of_o very_o sad_a consequence_n to_o ourselves_o at_o home_n as_o exceed_v scandalous_a to_o the_o reform_a church_n abroad_o who_o have_v their_o liturgy_n and_o ceremony_n as_o we_o have_v and_o perhaps_o some_o or_o other_o of_o they_o less_o innocent_a than_o this_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o i_o will_v ask_v here_o what_o think_v we_o of_o bradford_n philpot_n latimer_n ridley_n cranmer_n and_o the_o rest_n that_o suffer_v in_o q._n mary_n time_n be_v there_o not_o among_o these_o holy_a martyr_n a_o archbishop_n and_o bishop_n and_o do_v not_o they_o go_v ordinary_o to_o church_n and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n according_a to_o the_o liturgy_n as_o we_o do_v and_o admit_v of_o all_o the_o imposition_n beside_o in_o king_n edward_n day_n nay_o what_o think_v we_o of_o the_o old_a nonconformist_n in_o q._n elizabeth_n and_n k._n james_n his_o time_n who_o though_o they_o lay_v down_o their_o ministry_n rather_o than_o to_o conform_v to_o some_o imposition_n afterward_o do_v yet_o maintain_v communion_n with_o the_o parish-church_n all_o their_o day_n do_v any_o of_o these_o now_o or_o all_o these_o receive_v the_o mark_n in_o their_o right_a hand_n or_o in_o their_o forehead_n by_o this_o mean_n and_o must_v they_o therefore_o be_v everlasting_o damn_v i_o argue_v the_o receive_v the_o mark_n in_o the_o revelation_n must_v be_v a_o sin_n certain_o because_o the_o receiver_n be_v cast_v into_o hell_n for_o it_o but_o to_o obey_v the_o law_n or_o to_o conform_v only_o so_o far_o as_o we_o can_v which_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o these_o paper_n be_v the_o duty_n of_o every_o man_n &_o no_o sin_n again_o if_o receive_v these_o imposition_n be_v receive_v the_o mark_n it_o must_v be_v the_o promiscuous_a receive_v they_o without_o caution_n which_o to_o beware_v of_o be_v the_o end_n of_o these_o paper_n or_o against_o conscience_n that_o be_v sinful_o receive_v they_o but_o to_o receive_v they_o as_o i_o here_o propose_v with_o explication_n which_o be_v to_o receive_v they_o not_o otherwise_o but_o so_o as_o they_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v receive_v be_v to_o get_v a_o victory_n over_o the_o mark_n avoid_v the_o sin_n in_o the_o do_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o be_o sorry_a that_o i_o have_v need_n to_o say_v thus_o much_o i_o wish_v i_o have_v not_o but_o there_o be_v some_o odd_a mind_n some_o vehement_a revelation-man_n some_o melancholy_a spirit_n and_o i_o be_o much_o assure_v that_o such_o a_o conception_n i_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o uncommon_a to_o such_o as_o for_o those_o that_o never_o have_v any_o such_o kind_n of_o thought_n but_o have_v their_o rational_a exception_n it_o will_v yet_o be_v well_o even_o for_o they_o when_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o get_v off_o their_o proper_a objection_n so_o as_o to_o come_v honest_o to_o church_n with_o a_o judgement_n that_o be_v satisfy_v and_o not_o only_o to_o avoid_v the_o law_n to_o be_v secure_v from_o this_o also_o after_o they_o have_v do_v who_o can_v tell_v what_o impression_n the_o suggestion_n of_o a_o man_n own_o heart_n if_o trouble_v or_o the_o word_n of_o another_o upon_o occasion_n may_v lay_v upon_o he_o and_o as_o for_o such_o as_o be_v for_o dispute_v the_o point_n if_o they_o can_v produce_v those_o argument_n as_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o church_n have_v indeed_o impose_v any_o thing_n as_o the_o condition_n of_o her_o ordinary_a communion_n which_o be_v sinful_a and_o intolerable_a &_o those_o argument_n be_v sound_a then_o must_v i_o acknowledge_v the_o schism_n which_o be_v make_v by_o their_o separation_n from_o her_o communion_n through_o those_o sinful_a imposition_n must_v be_v impute_v to_o she_o &_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v the_o schismatic_a till_o she_o remove_v they_o but_o if_o those_o argument_n be_v not_o sufficient_a or_o unsound_a then_o must_v the_o schism_n which_o be_v make_v be_v impute_v to_o they_o for_o if_o the_o cause_n upon_o which_o they_o separate_v be_v find_v no_o cause_n and_o a_o insufficient_a one_o be_v none_o i_o must_v assert_v still_o that_o the_o separation_n here_o conceive_v be_v causeless_a must_v be_v schism_n but_o what_o if_o it_o be_v schism_n there_o be_v many_o such_o minister_n and_o such_o people_n who_o be_v rivet_v in_o the_o belief_n that_o the_o parish-church_n be_v no_o true_a church_n or_o at_o least_o that_o it_o be_v sin_n to_o go_v thither_o and_o what_o shall_v these_o do_v i_o answer_v i_o need_v not_o stand_v to_o say_v first_o what_o all_o will_n that_o these_o man_n be_v to_o lay_v down_o their_o error_n and_o so_o come_v to_o church_n as_o the_o only_a way_n to_o escape_v sin_n but_o see_v they_o can_v never_o be_v convince_v of_o that_o i_o must_v say_v there_o be_v degree_n of_o sin_n and_o schism_n and_o the_o great_a evil_n must_v be_v most_o careful_o shun_v to_o set_v up_o meeting_n upon_o the_o account_n these_o do_v be_v sin_n be_v schism_n i_o take_v it_o but_o to_o hold_v no_o meeting_n at_o all_o and_o leave_v off_o the_o assemble_v themselves_o together_o so_o as_o to_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o worship_n altogether_o this_o be_v certain_o more_o sinful_a more_o wicked_a more_o intolerable_a it_o appear_v consequent_o in_o the_o issue_n that_o a_o toleration_n understand_v such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v meet_v or_o of_o such_o as_o be_v tolerable_a be_v even_o almost_o as_o necessary_a to_o be_v grant_v by_o his_o majesty_n and_o a_o parliament_n when_o we_o have_v one_o as_o a_o constant_a and_o continue_a pardon_n from_o god_n almighty_n be_v to_o this_o poor_a divide_a nation_n not_o that_o i_o deny_v but_o there_o may_v be_v reason_n for_o the_o meeting_n of_o dissenter_n and_o perhaps_o very_a many_o that_o will_v hold_v and_o can_v be_v gainsay_v and_o when_o i_o say_v that_o separate_n from_o the_o church_n upon_o such_o ground_n as_o draw_v ill_a consequence_n after_o it_o and_o will_v not_o hold_v be_v schism_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o every_o mere_a local_a separation_n from_o the_o parish-meeting_a when_o there_o be_v cause_n be_v so_o who_o be_o sensible_a what_o a_o scarecrow_n have_v be_v make_v of_o that_o bare_a word_n only_o as_o mr._n hales_n have_v observe_v suppose_v a_o man_n stand_v upon_o his_o liberty_n from_o god_n and_o nature_n to_o choose_v his_o own_o pastor_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o

with_o such_o or_o such_o a_o meeting_n for_o his_o state_v communion_n when_o yet_o he_o refuse_v not_o to_o go_v to_o church_n maintain_v occasional_a communion_n also_o with_o his_o parish_n i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o such_o a_o man_n have_v reason_n indeed_o if_o he_o quite_o leave_v the_o church_n i_o shall_v suspect_v according_a to_o my_o principle_n that_o his_o ground_n be_v not_o
