themselves_o for_o father_v their_o mistake_n on_o god_n i_o shall_v a_o little_a comment_n on_o this_o text_n which_o will_v better_o have_v become_v the_o observator_fw-la than_o mr._n baxter_n who_o will_v say_v as_o much_o for_o he_o and_o those_o he_o call_v innocent_n and_o crucify_v all_o alike_o as_o under_o one_o condemnation_n and_o sure_o some_o of_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v common_o know_v that_o they_o must_v stand_v on_o your_o only_a leg_n for_o their_o credit_n or_o none_o at_o all_o that_o i_o know_v of_o you_o blame_v they_o because_o they_o blame_v not_o themselves_o for_o these_o thing_n and_o yet_o tell_v the_o world_n they_o have_v blame_v themselves_o and_o how_o you_o can_v equal_v their_o worst_a adversary_n in_o a_o scornful_a virulent_a spread_v it_o on_o their_o face_n worthy_a sir_n i_o pray_v bear_v with_o a_o truth_n which_o i_o hope_v your_o piety_n will_v make_v some_o good_a use_n of_o though_o it_o must_v be_v now_o in_o the_o after-part_n i_o know_v not_o any_o man_n alive_a who_o be_v less_o fit_a to_o throw_v these_o or_o any_o other_o reslection_n on_o the_o doctor_n i_o speak_v it_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o your_o ability_n which_o i_o value_v and_o honour_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o want_n of_o that_o good_a understanding_n betwixt_o you_o while_o the_o dr._n live_v which_o be_v common_o noise_v i_o say_v not_o where_o the_o fault_n lie_v i_o shall_v have_v be_v glad_a to_o have_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o cure_v or_o conceal_v it_o but_o take_v thing_n as_o they_o be_v and_o it_o will_v be_v next_o a_o miracle_n if_o this_o work_n of_o you_o be_v not_o impute_v to_o some_o ill_a original_a and_o then_o it_o be_v like_a to_o do_v little_a of_o that_o good_a you_o real_o intend_v by_o it_o and_o i_o think_v you_o do_v not_o well_o weigh_v those_o word_n p._n 2._o of_o your_o preface_n when_o you_o write_v they_o soil_n and_o the_o author_n that_o i_o deal_v with_o necessitate_v i_o to_o

who_o shall_v be_v so_o dare_v as_o to_o offend_v against_o it_o but_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v do_v nothing_o liable_a to_o exception_n for_o i_o shall_v not_o undertake_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o lyturgy_n or_o communion_n thereby_o only_o fair_o consider_v how_o far_o you_o have_v just_o fix_v those_o error_n on_o the_o author_n of_o the_o argument_n which_o you_o call_v dr._n owen_n now_o sir_n i_o shall_v not_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o your_o edition_n in_o print_n be_v exact_o a_o true_a copy_n of_o the_o autograph_n nor_o will_v or_o can_v you_o yourself_o assirm_a with_o any_o ground_n how_o far_o it_o be_v metamorphose_v by_o that_o time_n it_o arrive_v to_o your_o hand_n therefore_o i_o shall_v think_v it_o reasonable_a to_o put_v the_o best_a construction_n that_o

and_o then_o the_o suppose_a matter_n of_o fact_n and_o then_o consider_v his_o argument_n posit_n it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o a_o duty_n for_o those_o that_o can_v have_v better_a public_a worship_n without_o more_o hurt_n than_o benefit_n and_o be_v near_o a_o competent_a parish_n minister_n to_o go_v to_o and_o join_v in_o public_a worship_n perform_v according_a to_o the_o lyturgy_n and_o in_o sacramental_a communion_n and_o for_o those_o that_o can_v have_v better_o to_o join_v sometime_o with_o such_o parish_n church_n when_o their_o forbearance_n scandalous_o seem_v to_o signify_v that_o they_o take_v such_o communion_n for_o unlawful_a and_o will_v so_o tempt_v other_o to_o the_o same_o accusation_n and_o uncharitable_a separation_n the_o history_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n must_v be_v premise_v for_o the_o right_a decide_n of_o the_o cause_n which_o be_v as_o follow_v i_o shall_v first_o say_v somewhat_o of_o the_o author_n position_n and_o then_o of_o you_o the_o author_n position_n as_o you_o print_v it_o consist_v of_o a_o position_n and_o also_o the_o reason_n or_o ground_n of_o it_o and_o i_o find_v the_o reason_n exceed_v the_o limit_n of_o what_o be_v to_o be_v prove_v which_o make_v it_o look_v not_o like_o dr._n owen_n but_o to_o take_v it_o as_o it_o be_v the_o position_n if_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o go_v and_o join_v in_o public_a worship_n by_o the_o common-prayer_n he_o do_v not_o say_v it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o any_o and_o for_o ought_v you_o know_v this_o we_o who_o he_o concern_v in_o it_o may_v be_v a_o very_a few_o to_o who_o this_o manuscript_n be_v impart_v and_o they_o may_v be_v under_o such_o circumstance_n as_o your_o own_o resolution_n oft_o in_o print_n will_v discharge_v from_o that_o worship_n as_o a_o duty_n but_o you_o may_v reply_v that_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o position_n give_v no_o countenance_n to_o such_o a_o restriction_n and_o i_o say_v so_o too_o but_o see_v they_o agree_v no_o better_o in_o your_o edition_n what_o must_v be_v do_v in_o the_o case_n but_o to_o have_v recourse_n first_o to_o the_o errata_fw-la ay_o &_o to_o the_o author_n too_o but_o as_o you_o have_v order_v the_o matter_n non_fw-la sunt_fw-la inventi_fw-la be_v a_o good_a return_n for_o the_o author_n be_v but_o be_v not_o and_o the_o errata_fw-la never_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v and_o therefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n if_o the_o position_n be_v of_o a_o better_a countenance_n than_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o let_v we_o take_v that_o but_o if_o the_o reason_n be_v of_o a_o right_a make_v than_o the_o position_n let_v we_o take_v that_o for_o the_o author_n the_o reason_n as_o large_a as_o it_o be_v be_v express_o inclusive_a of_o the_o common-prayer_n only_o and_o therefore_o consider_v that_o all_o the_o argument_n be_v according_a to_o the_o author_n profession_n subservient_fw-fr to_o this_o position_n and_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o and_o otherwise_o be_v exuberant_a or_o impertient_fw-la i_o conclude_v you_o have_v not_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o say_v as_o you_o do_v p._n 2._o of_o your_o postscript_n that_o dr._n o._n or_o the_o author_n say_v that_o all_o liturgy_n usuch_o be_v such_o false_a worship_n and_o not_o the_o english_a only_a no_o nor_o to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v his_o meaning_n but_o far_o i_o conceive_v the_o author_n may_v not_o yea_o do_v not_o mean_a by_o these_o word_n because_o that_o worship_n itself_o be_v not_o lawful_a that_o it_o be_v simple_o unlawful_a which_o must_v render_v it_o so_o at_o all_o time_n and_o to_o all_o person_n under_o what_o circumstance_n soever_o but_o that_o take_v with_o all_o its_o mode_n as_o well_o as_o matter_n and_o the_o manner_n severity_n and_o universality_n of_o its_o impose_v it_o be_v so_o beside_o it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v unlawful_a but_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a which_o
