fear_v no_o disturbance_n from_o those_o who_o be_v wise_a and_o have_v their_o sense_n exercise_v to_o discern_v good_a and_o evil_a all_o her_o trouble_n arise_v from_o the_o ignorant_a and_o

of_o the_o public_a ruin_n or_o the_o loss_n of_o trade_n and_o wealth_n that_o the_o not_o gratify_v of_o they_o have_v bring_v a_o decay_n already_o and_o that_o their_o cause_n be_v good_a for_o it_o be_v for_o their_o inquiry_n into_o religion_n let_v they_o judge_v i_o say_v whether_o to_o tell_v this_o to_o the_o people_n so_o that_o the_o supreme_a governor_n it_o be_v probable_a may_v have_v no_o notice_n of_o it_o but_o in_o a_o mutiny_n nor_o ever_o see_v these_o rule_n of_o safety_n and_o equity_n till_o they_o be_v present_v on_o the_o sword_n of_o a_o popular_a rout_n whether_o this_o be_v to_o mind_n governor_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o people_n or_o to_o prepare_v the_o people_n to_o mind_v their_o own_o state_n but_o he_o say_v shall_v they_o who_o he_o plead_v for_o meditate_v rebellion_n and_o war_n they_o be_v abandon_v of_o their_o own_o reason_n we_o say_v so_o to_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v no_o such_o impossible_a thing_n but_o that_o a_o people_n may_v easy_o be_v precipitate_v into_o way_n of_o violence_n by_o such_o popular_a discourse_n as_o these_o be_v for_o the_o last_o war_n have_v not_o more_o specious_a pretence_n nor_o high_a encouragement_n than_o be_v here_o represent_v and_o indeed_o they_o need_v not_o war_n for_o the_o author_n do_v insinuate_v another_o way_n more_o plausible_a and_o less_o hazardous_a and_o yet_o as_o effective_a for_o he_o say_v there_o be_v sullen_a mutiny_n that_o make_v no_o noise_n but_o may_v loosen_v all_o the_o joint_n and_o ligament_n of_o policy_n but_o it_o will_v be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o justify_v such_o a_o mutiny_n from_o the_o guilt_n of_o rebellion_n for_o that_o do_v not_o consist_v only_o in_o take_v up_o arm_n but_o in_o a_o wilful_a refusal_n of_o obedience_n which_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o such_o sullen_a mutiny_n and_o it_o be_v as_o contrary_a to_o the_o command_v of_o christ_n as_o take_v the_o sword_n for_o he_o command_v obedience_n for_o conscience_n sake_n and_o not_o only_a when_o the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o be_v fear_v so_o that_o the_o author_n while_o he_o endeavour_v to_o divert_v the_o imputation_n of_o one_o sort_v of_o rebellion_n do_v yet_o threaten_v another_o sect_n 14._o that_o to_o moderate_a the_o establish_v order_n be_v neither_o prudent_a nor_o safe_a nor_o for_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n in_o sect._n fourteen_o the_o author_n propose_v three_o expedient_n to_o comprehend_v all_o dissenter_n and_o say_v that_o the_o settle_v of_o a_o nation_n may_v be_v make_v up_o of_o a_o establishment_n a_o limit_a toleration_n a_o discreet_a connivance_n he_o be_v not_o so_o true_a to_o his_o own_o discourse_n and_o his_o reputation_n of_o a_o judicious_a person_n as_o to_o tell_v we_o what_o he_o mean_v by_o every_o one_o of_o these_o and_o how_o they_o shall_v be_v compose_v yet_o he_o be_v most_o kind_a to_o the_o establishment_n as_o that_o which_o concern_v himself_o and_o his_o own_o party_n and_o though_o he_o do_v not_o tell_v we_o what_o it_o be_v in_o particular_a or_o shall_v be_v yet_o in_o in_o sect._n xv._o he_o tell_v we_o in_o general_n that_o the_o establish_v order_n shall_v be_v so_o broad_a that_o by_o its_o own_o force_n it_o may_v be_v chief_a and_o control_v all_o party_n that_o it_o be_v compact_v to_o promote_v sound_a doctrine_n and_o godly_a life_n and_o to_o keep_v out_o all_o wicked_a error_n and_o practice_n and_o therefore_o must_v not_o have_v narrow_a bound_n than_o thing_n necessary_a to_o christian_a faith_n and_o life_n and_o godly_a order_n in_o the_o church_n but_o we_o say_v this_o establishment_n be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o settlement_n because_o it_o do_v not_o secure_v the_o peace_n and_o how_o can_v we_o settle_v but_o in_o that_o to_o this_o the_o author_n question_v why_o shall_v not_o the_o great_a thing_n of_o christianity_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o wise_a builder_n be_v a_o sufficient_a foundation_n of_o church-unity_n and_o concord_n we_o answer_v 1_o that_o they_o be_v not_o for_o it_o be_v plain_a the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o presbyterian_o be_v agree_v in_o the_o great_a thing_n of_o christianity_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o concord_n betwixt_o they_o 2_o they_o alone_o can_v be_v because_o there_o may_v and_o do_v arise_v dissension_n about_o the_o person_n to_o who_o care_n these_o great_a thing_n shall_v be_v entrust_v to_o see_v they_o convey_v to_o posterity_n whether_o they_o shall_v be_v single_a person_n or_o a_o consistory_n or_o each_o single_a congregation_n and_o man_n also_o may_v differ_v concern_v the_o mean_n of_o convey_v these_o thing_n the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o the_o circumstance_n of_o it_o as_o we_o see_v they_o do_v therefore_o to_o preserve_v peace_n among_o her_o member_n who_o if_o they_o dissent_n can_v be_v bring_v to_o unity_n but_o by_o the_o determination_n and_o injunction_n of_o their_o lawful_a superior_a the_o church_n have_v need_v to_o determine_v more_o than_o the_o great_a thing_n of_o christianity_n and_o to_o enjoin_v more_o than_o what_o be_v bare_o necessary_a to_o faith_n and_o order_n we_o say_v as_o well_o as_o he_o that_o moderation_n and_o charity_n be_v far_o more_o excellent_a than_o glory_v in_o opinion_n formality_n etc._n etc._n but_o we_o say_v also_o that_o charity_n can_v be_v where_o there_o be_v not_o peace_n the_o next_o argument_n be_v that_o some_o part_n of_o enjoin_v uniformity_n be_v but_o indifferent_a and_o have_v be_v long_o dispute_v from_o bishop_n hooper_n be_v time_n to_o the_o present_a nonconformist_a and_o if_o this_o be_v conclude_v they_o ought_v therefore_o not_o to_o be_v enjoin_v to_o which_o we_o answer_v 1._o that_o they_o be_v indifferent_a
