desire_n of_o come_v in_o unto_o we_o and_o join_v with_o we_o if_o there_o be_v any_o christian_a ground_n to_o judge_v they_o meet_v for_o such_o a_o relation_n they_o be_v without_o any_o further_o

parishional_a congregation_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o i_o can_v understand_v why_o or_o wherefore_o the_o one_o shall_v be_v term_v independent_a more_o than_o the_o other_o i_o very_o believe_v that_o that_o which_o be_v call_v independent_a depend_v every_o whit_n as_o much_o upon_o god_n upon_o the_o scripture_n upon_o principle_n of_o reason_n and_o equity_n as_o the_o other_o and_o claim_v as_o little_a exemption_n from_o the_o authority_n or_o jurisdiction_n of_o any_o of_o these_o as_o the_o other_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o dependency_n upon_o these_o be_v as_o much_o for_o matter_n of_o dependencie_n as_o can_v with_o reason_n or_o good_a conscience_n be_v require_v or_o expect_v from_o any_o man_n dependencie_n upon_o man_n be_v pronounce_v accurse_a by_o god_n

government_n of_o it_o to_o that_o which_o shall_v be_v recommend_v or_o impose_v upon_o i●_n by_o a_o ecclesiastic_a authority_n superior_a to_o itself_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o that_o which_o bear_v the_o heat_n and_o burden_n of_o the_o name_n can_v as_o yet_o however_o be_v call_v so_o more_o than_o the_o other_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o yet_o either_o recommend_v unto_o or_o impose_v upon_o either_o by_o any_o such_o authority_n 2._o though_o haply_o it_o like_v not_o imposition_n so_o cordial_o altogether_o as_o the_o other_o yet_o let_v that_o which_o shall_v be_v impose_v be_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o mind_n of_o christ_n if_o god_n will_v please_v to_o give_v eye_n unto_o it_o whereby_o to_o see_v it_o confident_a i_o be_o and_o do_v hereby_o engage_v myself_o for_o it_o as_o far_o as_o my_o interest_n reach_v that_o it_o will_v and_o shall_v submit_v as_o willing_o as_o cheerful_o thereunto_o as_o the_o other_o if_o he_o therefore_o asperse_v it_o with_o the_o name_n of_o independent_a because_o it_o will_v not_o say_v god_n speed_n to_o he_o that_o bring_v the_o doctrine_n of_o blind_a obedience_n unto_o it_o i_o trust_v it_o will_v i_o be_o sure_a it_o may_v sit_v down_o by_o the_o reproach_n as_o by_o its_o glory_n i_o be_o all_o thought_n make_v with_o the_o full_a assurance_n that_o for_o the_o generality_n of_o they_o as_o well_o the_o person_n as_o congregation_n in_o the_o land_n surnamed_n but_o far_o out_o of_o the_o propriety_n of_o the_o word_n independent_a will_v as_o soon_o submit_v to_o be_v lead_v by_o a_o young_a child_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v in_o a_o way_n of_o reason_n and_o truth_n discover_v unto_o they_o much_o more_o by_o man_n of_o wisdom_n and_o place_n as_o any_o other_o either_o person_n or_o congregation_n whatsoever_o in_o the_o land_n whereas_o my_o learned_a accuser_n further_o tax_v i_o as_o have_v refuse_v to_o baptize_v some_o child_n and_o to_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n to_o my_o parish_n for_o some_o month_n i_o answer_v 1._o that_o for_o the_o latter_a i_o have_v do_v nothing_o in_o it_o but_o what_o have_v be_v do_v by_o very_a many_o godly_a minister_n in_o and_o about_o the_o city_n as_o be_v know_v to_o thousand_o yea_o most_o of_o they_o if_o not_o all_o of_o a_o different_a judgement_n from_o i_o in_o the_o point_n of_o church_n government_n yea_o some_o of_o they_o if_o my_o memory_n deal_v faithful_o with_o i_o of_o the_o assembly_n itself_o 2._o i_o proffer_v unto_o that_o honourable_a committee_n before_o who_o be_v call_v that_o if_o either_o themselves_o or_o any_o other_o will_v please_v to_o assign_v i_o a_o rule_n by_o which_o i_o may_v safe_o walk_v in_o that_o administration_n i_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o take_v up_o again_o what_o i_o have_v lay_v down_o for_o a_o season_n and_o to_o accommodate_v with_o my_o parishioner_n in_o that_o ordinance_n for_o as_o for_o the_o rule_n prescribe_v by_o the_o rubric_n in_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n themselves_o seem_v not_o so_o well_o satisfy_v with_o it_o 3._o for_o some_o of_o those_o who_o out_o of_o the_o smart_n of_o this_o sore_n petition_v against_o i_o i_o believe_v they_o be_v so_o far_o disadvantage_v by_o a_o incapacity_n of_o this_o ordinance_n that_o the_o large_a charity_n of_o a_o conscientious_a minister_n of_o what_o judgement_n soever_o for_o church-government_n will_v not_o redeem_v they_o 4._o whereas_o several_a minister_n in_o and_o about_o the_o city_n yea_o some_o of_o good_a report_n and_o esteem_v nor_o shall_v i_o mistake_v for_o matter_n of_o truth_n whatever_o i_o may_v do_v in_o point_n of_o good_a manner_n if_o i_o shall_v say_v some_o very_o near_o relate_v unto_o the_o assembly_n itself_o have_v demand_v and_o have_v pretty_a considerable_a sum_n some_o twenty_o pound_n thirty_o pound_n yea_o some_o forty_o pound_n a_o year_n of_o their_o parishioner_n only_o for_o their_o consent_n and_o leave_v that_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v preach_v unto_o they_o out_o of_o their_o pulpit_n by_o such_o a_o minister_n or_o lecturer_n as_o they_o shall_v choose_v i_o have_v be_v so_o far_o from_o tie_v my_o parishioner_n to_o this_o appletree_n that_o i_o not_o only_o give_v my_o consent_n free_o unto_o they_o to_o choose_v what_o minister_n they_o please_v either_o to_o preach_v or_o to_o deliver_v the_o sacrament_n unto_o they_o but_o further_o offer_v they_o twenty_o thirty_o yea_o if_o it_o be_v forty_o pound_n a_o year_n out_o of_o my_o own_o allowance_n in_o case_n they_o will_v still_o continue_v it_o to_o their_o former_a proportion_n for_o otherwise_o i_o can_v not_o be_v able_a towards_o the_o make_n up_o a_o valuable_a consideration_n unto_o he_o for_o his_o pain_n who_o they_o shall_v choose_v in_o such_o a_o way_n 5._o and_o last_o for_o the_o latter_a i_o confess_v that_o since_o my_o first_o come_v to_o the_o place_n and_o people_n with_o who_o i_o yet_o be_o which_o want_v but_o a_o little_a of_o eleven_o year_n complete_a i_o have_v refuse_v the_o baptise_v of_o two_o or_o three_o child_n of_o my_o parish_n but_o upon_o such_o ground_n the_o open_n whereof_o if_o it_o be_v meet_v to_o publish_v they_o will_v i_o very_o believe_v make_v all_o contestation_n and_o complaint_n against_o i_o in_o this_o behalf_n ashamed_a i_o fear_v i_o have_v make_v myself_o a_o far_o great_a transgressor_n by_o not_o refuse_v then_o by_o refuse_v in_o this_o kind_n and_o beside_o if_o my_o intelligence_n will_v bear_v the_o weight_n of_o that_o confidence_n which_o i_o lay_v upon_o it_o as_o i_o think_v it_o will_v in_o case_n such_o omission_n or_o refusal_n as_o these_o be_v just_a matter_n of_o offence_n the_o assembly_n itself_o will_v not_o in_o all_o the_o presbyterian_a member_n thereof_o be_v find_v innocent_a the_o three_o and_o last_o grievance_n of_o which_o i_o complain_v in_o my_o overoffended_a adversary_n and_o
