that_o i_o lie_v under_o the_o censure_n of_o some_o and_o the_o calumny_n of_o other_o as_o if_o i_o be_v a_o person_n heretical_a in_o my_o judgement_n schismatical_a in_o my_o practice_n and_o scandalous_a in_o my_o life_n though_o as_o to_o myself_o i_o ought_v to_o rejoice_v in_o these_o reproach_n which_o be_v no_o other_o than_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n undergo_v before_o i_o yet_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o other_o who_o possible_o may_v suffer_v for_o their_o more_o favourable_a opinion_n of_o i_o and_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o truth_n which_o i_o ought_v to_o clear_v from_o all_o mistake_v and_o prejudices_fw-la and_o lest_o the_o gospel_n shall_v suffer_v for_o my_o sake_n who_o be_o as_o i_o hear_v condemn_v as_o a_o unworthy_a minister_n of_o it_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o make_v this_o ensue_a declaration_n first_o as_o to_o my_o faith_n and_o judgement_n in_o point_n of_o doctrine_n i_o do_v in_o general_a firm_o believe_v whatever_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o more_o particular_o that_o collection_n of_o article_n which_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v make_v and_o so_o far_o as_o by_o the_o act_n of_o q._n elizabeth_n they_o be_v enjoin_v i_o be_o ready_a to_o subscribe_v my_o real_a assent_n unto_o they_o and_o according_o i_o have_v already_o by_o several_a treatise_n in_o print_n declare_v my_o utter_a abhorrence_n of_o all_o popish_a socinian_n and_o arminian_n tenet_n which_o be_v express_o condemn_v in_o those_o article_n in_o which_o judgement_n i_o be_o much_o

second_o as_o to_o church-government_n and_o ceremony_n the_o scripture_n be_v more_o silent_a about_o they_o as_o thing_n of_o leffer_n moment_n i_o think_v i_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v blame_v if_o herein_o i_o assume_v a_o great_a latitude_n than_o possible_o some_o other_o do_v yet_o because_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n be_v much_o concern_v in_o a_o right_n state_v of_o those_o matter_n i_o do_v declare_v 1._o that_o i_o be_o so_o far_o from_o be_v against_o the_o order_n of_o bishop_n that_o when_o my_o interest_n do_v altogether_o dispose_v i_o to_o a_o utter_a renounce_n of_o they_o yet_o then_o do_v i_o choose_v to_o be_v ordain_v by_o the_o learned_a bishop_n brownrigge_v and_o at_o the_o time_n of_o my_o ordination_n which_o be_v then_o when_o the_o commonwealth-parliament_n have_v new_o assume_v the_o government_n i_o have_v a_o testimonial_a from_o that_o worthy_a person_n in_o term_n so_o expressive_a of_o his_o candid_a opinion_n of_o i_o that_o i_o be_o ashamed_a to_o repeat_v because_o i_o be_o hopeless_a of_o ever_o deserve_v it_o 2._o as_o for_o ceremony_n i_o hold_v they_o to_o be_v thing_n in_o their_o own_o nature_n indifferent_a and_o be_v they_o leave_v so_o i_o shall_v make_v no_o scruple_n sometime_o to_o use_v they_o but_o because_o they_o be_v now_o impose_v and_o make_v at_o least_o as_o to_o the_o outward_a practice_n of_o they_o necessary_a and_o a_o condition_n of_o preach_v the_o gospel_n whereby_o their_o indifferent_a use_n pro_fw-la hic_fw-la &_o nunc_fw-la be_v utter_o take_v away_o i_o therefore_o now_o think_v it_o my_o duty_n to_o forbear_v they_o and_o that_o upon_o this_o single_a reason_n because_o to_o fix_v and_o establish_v any_o thing_n as_o a_o necessary_a outward_a part_n of_o religious_a worship_n which_o god_n have_v no_o where_o command_v be_v so_o far_o as_o i_o yet_o see_v a_o entrenchment_n upon_o christ_n kingly_a office_n by_o which_o he_o be_v the_o sole_a legislator_n of_o his_o church_n and_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v preserve_v inviolable_a by_o we_o as_o well_o as_o his_o sacerdotal_a and_o prophetical_a which_o two_o last_n our_o church_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v worthy_o assert_v i_o know_v very_o well_o that_o many_o learned_a and_o pious_a man_n who_o i_o very_o much_o honour_n have_v be_v and_o be_v of_o a_o quite_o different_a judgement_n who_o conceive_v that_o the_o impose_v of_o such_o indifferent_a thing_n do_v not_o only_o make_v they_o lawful_a but_o likewise_o do_v oblige_v the_o conscience_n of_o all_o to_o a_o outward_a observance_n of_o they_o which_o assertion_n i_o shall_v ready_o grant_v can_v it_o once_o be_v clear_v to_o i_o that_o god_n have_v give_v such_o power_n to_o any_o as_o to_o make_v those_o thing_n necessary_a in_o his_o worship_n which_o he_o have_v leave_v indifferent_a and_o free_a but_o because_o i_o be_o for_o the_o present_a unsatisfy_a in_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o such_o impose_v i_o ought_v in_o conscience_n to_o forbear_v the_o practice_n and_o observance_n of_o the_o imposition_n this_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o i_o know_v of_o wherein_o i_o differ_v from_o those_o who_o be_v most_o devote_o for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o can_v but_o wonder_n why_o the_o reverend_a the_o bishop_n of_o dublin_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o silence_n i_o since_o i_o never_o yet_o do_v make_v it_o my_o business_n to_o vent_v that_o opinion_n in_o the_o pulpit_n not_o ever_o use_v any_o reflection_n to_o alienate_v man_n mind_n from_o the_o establish_v form_n for_o in_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o that_o be_v not_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n to_o salvation_n i_o think_v as_o none_o ought_v to_o be_v compel_v unto_o so_o neither_o ought_v they_o to_o be_v dehort_v from_o the_o usage_n of_o they_o it_o be_v mere_o my_o be_v silence_v and_o thereby_o hinder_v from_o preach_v in_o the_o public_a place_n of_o worship_n which_o make_v i_o in_o private_a and_o to_o that_o family_n i_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o to_o exercise_v my_o ministry_n which_o duty_n i_o conceive_v in_o law_n consider_v my_o qualification_n none_o ought_v without_o just_a cause_n to_o debar_v i_o from_o and_o though_o it_o be_v possible_a i_o may_v be_v charge_v with_o a_o love_n of_o separation_n yet_o not_o only_o my_o practice_n but_o my_o preach_v do_v sufficient_o evidence_n that_o i_o have_v not_o nor_o ever_o shall_v decline_v communion_n with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o point_n which_o i_o be_v handle_v at_o the_o very_a instant_n when_o i_o be_v interrupt_v to_o prove_v that_o error_n in_o doctrine_n and_o some_o false_a mixture_n in_o worship_n if_o not_o impose_v be_v not_o sufficient_a

who_o do_v not_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o the_o jewish_a worship_n though_o it_o be_v then_o very_o corrupt_a and_o likewise_o the_o corinthian_n though_o very_o faulty_a in_o many_o thing_n be_v
