make_v it_o our_o necessary_a duty_n to_o teach_v what_o they_o prescribe_v otherwise_o we_o can_v never_o answer_v it_o to_o god_n who_o have_v make_v we_o accountable_a to_o they_o nor_o can_v we_o give_v they_o any_o security_n that_o their_o people_n shall_v be_v bring_v up_o orthodox_n in_o the_o faith_n or_o obedient_a and_o peaceable_a in_o the_o state_n and_o it_o prove_v the_o better_a defence_n of_o the_o faith_n the_o more_o eminent_a they_o be_v who_o tender_a year_n be_v well_o season_v as_o those_o of_o the_o best_a strength_n of_o natural_a part_n and_o quickness_n of_o wit_n and_o inclination_n to_o learning_n those_o that_o be_v natural_o dispose_v to_o be_v religious_a lest_o they_o prove_v zealot_n in_o a_o wrong_a way_n those_o that_o be_v likely_a to_o become_v minister_n of_o holy_a thing_n and_o steward_n of_o this_o faith_n those_o that_o be_v of_o more_o than_o ordinary_a quality_n even_o in_o worldly_a respect_n as_o birth_n riches_n or_o favour_n especial_o the_o family_n of_o grands_fw-fr and_o prince_n what_o advantage_n the_o jesuit_n above_o other_o order_n have_v make_v of_o this_o be_v not_o unknown_a and_o any_o one_o may_v see_v that_o so_o long_o as_o these_o be_v make_v sound_a and_o resolute_a for_o the_o faith_n there_o be_v the_o less_o danger_n of_o error_n in_o the_o rest_n 5._o the_o five_o mean_n be_v by_o conflict_v with_o and_o suppress_v all_o heretic_n and_o dissenter_n from_o the_o faith_n and_o extinguish_v their_o heresy_n and_o error_n this_o be_v proper_o to_o contend_v because_o it_o be_v against_o the_o adversary_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o be_v do_v three_o way_n especial_o i._o by_o confutation_n of_o their_o error_n and_o that_o first_o by_o personal_a congress_n and_o disputation_n this_o way_n our_o adversary_n have_v of_o late_o be_v a_o little_a shy_a of_o have_v find_v that_o neither_o their_o art_n nor_o their_o zeal_n will_v maintain_v a_o bad_a cause_n before_o judge_n who_o be_v not_o aforehand_o at_o their_o devotion_n which_o they_o of_o rome_n be_v not_o to_o expect_v in_o a_o reform_a church_n and_o i_o hope_v the_o rest_n will_v no_o long_o find_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o second_o their_o write_n be_v to_o be_v answer_v with_o write_n and_o this_o way_n their_o argument_n have_v be_v so_o sift_v and_o run_v so_o far_o that_o controversy_n be_v on_o both_o side_n draw_v to_o the_o very_a dregs_o of_o opposition_n and_o nothing_o new_a have_v be_v object_v of_o late_a that_o be_v material_a yet_o so_o long_o as_o they_o continue_v their_o battery_n we_o be_v not_o to_o sit_v down_o in_o silence_n but_o to_o stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n lest_o we_o shall_v betray_v that_o faith_n to_o their_o importunity_n which_o have_v be_v so_o well_o defend_v against_o their_o argument_n ii_o the_o second_o way_n to_o suppress_v heresy_n be_v by_o act_n of_o convocation_n and_o solemn_a censure_n of_o the_o church_n this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o old_a the_o father_n meet_v in_o synod_n or_o general_n council_n as_o the_o cause_n require_v to_o make_v provision_n against_o heresy_n as_o they_o rise_v and_o infest_a the_o church_n but_o the_o late_a disciplinarian_n have_v it_o seem_v think_v the_o preservation_n of_o the_o faith_n a_o easy_a work_n and_o not_o of_o such_o public_a and_o catholic_n concernment_n and_o have_v therefore_o in_o their_o new_a model_n order_v heresy_n to_o be_v judge_v in_o the_o kirk-session_n or_o consistory_n where_o be_v no_o more_o 1640._o than_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o place_n and_o one_o lay_v elder_a or_o two_o as_o if_o heresy_n be_v so_o small_a a_o crime_n as_o to_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o cognizance_n of_o two_o or_o three_o no_o better_a judge_n or_o as_o if_o any_o but_o the_o clergy_n have_v power_n to_o judge_n of_o it_o this_o be_v utter_o a_o great_a mistake_n and_o miscarriage_n for_o heresy_n be_v at_o least_o a_o perversion_n and_o so_o in_o effect_n a_o denial_n of_o some_o point_n of_o faith_n be_v a_o crime_n of_o the_o high_a nature_n as_o strike_v at_o the_o church_n foundation_n and_o the_o minister_n alone_o be_v the_o guardian_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o the_o clergy_n in_o convocation_n next_o to_o a_o general_n council_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n be_v the_o supreme_a judge_n of_o all_o controversy_n about_o it_o so_o god_n himself_o ordain_v in_o that_o church_n which_o of_o all_o the_o church_n of_o the_o first_o plantation_n be_v most_o trouble_v with_o heretic_n and_o that_o be_v the_o church_n of_o corinth_n 1_o cor._n 14._o 32._o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o prophet_n that_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o private_a teacher_n in_o every_o church_n be_v to_o submit_v to_o and_o so_o to_o be_v allow_v or_o condemn_v by_o the_o concurrent_a judgement_n of_o all_o the_o pastor_n of_o that_o church_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v have_v but_o in_o a_o council_n of_o that_o church_n or_o a_o

a_o christian_a constitution_n for_o shall_v the_o secular_a power_n undertake_v without_o the_o church_n to_o judge_v what_o be_v heresy_n it_o will_v give_v the_o people_n just_a reason_n to_o

of_o their_o mind_n whereas_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n a_o public_a condemnation_n of_o heretieall_a doctrine_n by_o the_o joint_n voice_n of_o they_o who_o cure_n and_o call_v it_o be_v must_v in_o reason_n have_v the_o most_o universal_a influence_n in_o any_o christian_a church_n that_o be_v not_o near_o its_o apostasy_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o nothing_o have_v of_o late_o be_v this_o way_n do_v against_o the_o many_o sect_n and_o heresy_n that_o trouble_v we_o i_o may_v not_o say_v but_o i_o must_v needs_o think_v that_o the_o want_n of_o it_o be_v a_o main_a reason_n that_o they_o be_v not_o lessen_v but_o rather_o increase_v and_o if_o this_o want_n continue_v long_o will_v be_v follow_v with_o a_o diminution_n and_o decay_v of_o the_o church_n power_n of_o the_o

for_o the_o suppress_n of_o heresy_n be_v the_o make_n and_o execute_v of_o good_a law_n for_o the_o silence_v of_o heretic_n and_o dissenter_n from_o the_o faith_n and_o hinder_v their_o practice_n and_o herein_o the_o secular_a arm_n be_v to_o interpose_v as_o the_o nurse_n father_n of_o the_o church_n and_o defender_n of_o the_o faith_n for_o though_o the_o church_n sole_o denounce_v heretic_n yet_o she_o have_v no_o power_n now_o to_o punish_v they_o temporal_o but_o what_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n invest_v she_o with_o who_o be_v therefore_o constant_o to_o assist_v she_o and_o this_o
