city_n yet_o many_o who_o number_n may_v much_o increase_v the_o yearly_a revenue_n of_o the_o minister_n and_o therefore_o you_o must_v think_v it_o have_v concern_v they_o to_o meet_v together_o

no_o whit_n inferior_a to_o they_o either_o in_o art_n or_o learning_n or_o any_o other_o qualification_n let_v it_o be_v then_o no_o wonder_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o seem_v unblamable_a hereafter_o that_o the_o separatist_n shall_v differ_v in_o some_o opinion_n from_o this_o present_a synod_n since_o the_o minister_n therein_o no_o little_a differ_v among_o themselves_o much_o more_o than_o

there_o be_v in_o all_o probability_n it_o must_v proceed_v from_o the_o power_n and_o efficacy_n of_o truth_n not_o from_o constraint_n objection_n a_o assembly_n of_o divine_n man_n that_o have_v employ_v all_o their_o time_n in_o the_o study_n of_o religion_n be_v more_o likely_a to_o find_v out_o the_o truth_n than_o other_o man_n that_o have_v not_o so_o spend_v their_o time_n who_o be_v now_o consult_v what_o doctrine_n and_o what_o discipline_n be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v but_o meet_v that_o all_o man_n shall_v wait_v their_o leisure_n till_o it_o

the_o whole_a people_n it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a that_o they_o shall_v publish_v to_o the_o world_n whatsoever_o be_v in_o debate_n among_o they_o and_o invite_v every_o man_n to_o give_v they_o their_o best_a light_n and_o information_n that_o so_o they_o may_v hear_v all_o voice_n and_o not_o conclude_v aught_o against_o man_n judgement_n before_o it_o be_v hear_v what_o they_o can_v say_v for_o themselves_o this_o may_v peradventure_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o find_v out_o all_o truth_n and_o settle_v thing_n so_o as_o that_o every_o man_n may_v be_v satisfy_v you_o will_v say_v that_o they_o consider_v of_o all_o objection_n among_o themselves_o i_o reply_v that_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o it_o be_v a_o know_a case_n man_n be_v general_o partial_a to_o themselves_o and_o
