A27046	A third defence of the cause of peace proving 1. the need of our concord, 2. the impossibility of it, on the terms of the present impositions against the accusations and storms of, viz., Mr. John Hinckley, a nameless impleader, a nameless reflector, or Speculum, &c., Mr. John Cheny's second accusation, Mr. Roger L'Strange, justice, &c., the Dialogue between the Pope and a fanatic, J. Varney's phanatic Prophesie / by Richard Baxter.	Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691.	1681 (1681)	Wing B1419; ESTC R647	161,764	297

conformist_n that_o desire_v a_o deliverance_n but_o this_o prove_v not_o that_o the_o parliament_n be_v presbyterian_o then_o much_o less_o that_o they_o be_v so_o before_o the_o war_n but_o you_o that_o meddle_v not_o with_o layman_n remember_v that_o layman_n send_v those_o propasition_n you_o next_o tell_v i_o of_o alderman_n pennington_n and_o the_o apprentice_n answ_n 1._o few_o of_o those_o apprentice_n know_v what_o presbytery_n be_v but_o be_v exasperate_v against_o episcopacy_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o present_a bishop_n as_o the_o common_a people_n be_v now_o within_o these_o nine_o year_n think_v that_o it_o be_v they_o that_o silence_v their_o teacher_n and_o cause_v all_o our_o division_n but_o alas_o little_a know_v they_o what_o church-government_n to_o desire_v but_o most_o that_o be_v in_o judgement_n against_o episcopacy_n be_v independent_o and_o separatist_n then_o and_o how_o inconsiderable_a a_o number_n in_o london_n be_v those_o apprentice_n 2._o and_o our_o question_n be_v not_o what_o party_n of_o lad_n or_o apprentice_n or_o woman_n do_v clamour_n against_o bishop_n but_o what_o party_n it_o be_v that_o raise_v the_o war_n do_v these_o lad_n give_v the_o earl_n of_o essex_n his_o commission_n but_o you_o find_v none_o that_o say_v any_o thing_n against_o their_o petition_n but_o the_o lord_n digby_n answ_n and_o have_v not_o he_o forsake_v you_o also_o 1._o where_o do_v you_o seek_v to_o find_v it_o not_o in_o the_o parliament_n journal_n sure_a else_o you_o may_v have_v find_v more_o 2._o the_o truth_n be_v the_o episcopal_a parliament_n themselves_o perceive_v what_o party_n they_o must_v trust_v to_o oppose_v not_o those_o petition_n because_o the_o petitioner_n may_v serve_v their_o turn_n and_o i_o doubt_v be_v too_o well_o content_v with_o they_o but_o as_o no_o man_n must_v say_v that_o the_o king_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o popery_n because_o he_o be_v willing_a that_o the_o papist_n shall_v help_v he_o so_o no_o man_n can_v prove_v that_o the_o episcopal_a parliament_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o presbytery_n or_o be_v against_o episcopacy_n itself_o because_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v help_v by_o all_o sort_n who_o on_o a_o sudden_a be_v fall_v out_o with_o bishop_n the_o truth_n be_v the_o suspending_a and_o silence_v of_o minister_n and_o the_o crop_n the_o ear_n and_o stigmatise_v prin_fw-mi with_o burton_n and_o bastwick_n have_v sudden_o raise_v in_o the_o london_n apprentice_n and_o other_o a_o great_a distaste_n of_o the_o bishop_n though_o they_o know_v little_a of_o any_o controversy_n about_o church-government_n at_o all_o when_o you_o say_v that_o episcopacy_n or_o rather_o bishop_n land_n be_v the_o palladium_n etc._n etc._n 1_o episcopacy_n be_v not_o so_o till_o after_o the_o army_n be_v raise_v it_o be_v so_o no_o doubt_n in_o the_o private_a design_n of_o some_o particular_a man_n apprentice_n and_o woman_n in_o the_o city_n and_o kingdom_n that_o be_v all_o that_o be_v against_o it_o desire_v it_o shall_v fall_v and_o many_o that_o be_v episcopal_n desire_v that_o it_o shall_v rather_o fall_v than_o the_o abuse_n of_o it_o continue_v by_o such_o man_n as_o they_o think_v will_v else_o ruin_v church_n and_o state_n think_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o save_v they_o so_o far_o do_v different_a apprehension_n about_o propriety_n liberty_n popery_n and_o arminianism_n carry_v man_n from_o one_o another_o who_o be_v all_o for_o episcopacy_n but_o forget_v not_o 1._o that_o it_o be_v the_o major_a vote_n of_o the_o parliament_n and_o not_o a_o few_o secret_a designer_n within_o or_o without_o door_n that_o be_v the_o parliament_n 2._o that_o it_o be_v the_o parliament_n that_o raise_v the_o militia_n and_o army_n 3._o that_o this_o parliament_n be_v not_o at_o that_o time_n against_o episcopacy_n therefore_o your_o talk_n of_o the_o isle_n of_o wight_n so_o long_o after_o be_v like_a a_o jest_n than_o serious_a beside_o that_o you_o seem_v ignorant_a of_o the_o parliament_n resolve_v to_o accept_v of_o the_o king_n concession_n as_o prins_n long_o print_v speech_n will_v show_v you_o and_o therefore_o immediate_o

if_o you_o dare_v harken_v whether_o they_o talk_v not_o more_o for_o bishop_n than_o for_o any_o other_o sect_n whether_o they_o do_v not_o curse_v and_o damn_v the_o presbyterian_o and_o fanatic_n
