from_o the_o church_n and_o it_o be_v from_o you_o that_o even_o the_o quaker_a sect_n itself_o the_o dregs_o of_o schism_n have_v learned_a to_o talk_v of_o illumination_n and_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o sectary_n in_o what_o number_n soever_o they_o be_v differ_v no_o more_o from_o you_o than_o the_o second_o three_o or_o four_o etc._n etc._n from_o the_o first_o book_n of_o euclid_n not_o that_o by_o this_o comparison_n i_o intend_v that_o you_o have_v any_o such_o principle_n or_o data_fw-la among_o yourselves_o as_o there_o be_v among_o mathematician_n for_o i_o be_o very_a well_o assure_v that_o take_v but_o any_o four_o of_o the_o presbyterian_a demagogue_n and_o they_o can_v scarce_o agree_v among_o themselves_o in_o any_o four_o particular_n wherein_o they_o differ_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o be_v not_o schismatic_n than_o the_o church_n of_o england_n from_o which_o you_o separate_v and_o out_o of_o which_o you_o have_v gather_v congregation_n and_o preach_v and_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n unto_o they_o i_o say_v if_o you_o be_v not_o schismatic_n than_o our_o church_n must_v be_v the_o schismatic_a in_o the_o controversy_n between_o we_o and_o be_v just_o chargeable_a with_o the_o same_o indictment_n which_o she_o have_v draw_v up_o against_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n a_o assertion_n cousin_n which_o i_o never_o know_v any_o other_o person_n except_o one_o or_o two_o beside_o yourself_o have_v the_o confidence_n to_o aver_v and_o a_o assertion_n which_o no_o protestant_a here_o in_o france_n can_v hear_v we_o yet_o relate_v without_o horror_n impatience_n and_o disdain_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o reform_a church_n of_o england_n from_o which_o you_o wilful_o divide_v and_o to_o which_o by_o your_o division_n you_o cause_v so_o much_o scandal_n abroad_o and_o evil_a at_o home_n be_v not_o a_o schismatical_a church_n that_o be_v a_o church_n which_o require_v some_o sinful_a condition_n of_o communion_n in_o what_o a_o woeful_a condition_n will_v your_o unpeaceable_a seditious_a spirit_n appear_v before_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n and_o how_o will_v you_o answer_v that_o at_o the_o tribunal_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o justice_n which_o neither_o your_o father_n nor_o you_o can_v ever_o yet_o answer_v to_o those_o instrument_n of_o his_o glory_n judicious_a hooker_n and_o the_o venerable_a sanderson_n but_o whether_o you_o be_v schismatic_n or_o whether_o you_o be_v not_o the_o separation_n which_o you_o and_o your_o brood_n have_v make_v from_o the_o church_n be_v the_o apparent_a cause_n of_o the_o growth_n of_o popery_n and_o both_o your_o separation_n and_o your_o superstitious_a enthusiastical_a way_n of_o worship_v that_o god_n who_o people_n you_o emphatical_o pretend_v to_o be_v be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o that_o abundant_a atheism_n which_o at_o present_a make_v england_n a_o astonishment_n and_o a_o scandal_n to_o foreign_a nation_n and_o if_o you_o or_o any_o other_o of_o the_o brotherhood_n think_v it_o strange_a that_o i_o charge_v you_o which_o be_v the_o capital_a sect_n with_o enthusiasm_n or_o make_v superstition_n which_o seem_v diametrical_o opposite_a to_o atheism_n the_o mother_n thereof_o i_o offer_v upon_o the_o challenge_n to_o make_v good_a the_o charge_n in_o both_o particular_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n to_o show_v you_o how_o unsafe_a it_o will_v be_v to_o provoke_v i_o to_o that_o trouble_v i_o advise_v you_o to_o read_v one_o or_o two_o short_a chapter_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o mr._n smith_n discourse_n concern_v these_o distemper_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v what_o i_o have_v say_v prove_v with_o more_o demonstration_n than_o you_o can_v gainsay_v and_o with_o more_o plainness_n and_o perspicuity_n than_o i_o be_o confident_a you_o will_v wish_v to_o see_v but_o beside_o the_o schism_n and_o enthusiasm_n the_o bloody_a war_n which_o you_o former_o make_v in_o the_o state_n under_o pretence_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o reformation_n of_o of_o the_o reform_a religion_n have_v give_v many_o inconsiderate_a man_n occasion_n to_o suspect_v that_o all_o religion_n like_o that_o of_o most_o of_o your_o leader_n be_v but_o a_o politic_a engine_n which_o man_n use_v to_o make_v themselves_o popular_a and_o powerful_a that_o they_o may_v afterward_o act_v with_o good_a colour_n whatsoever_o their_o interest_n shall_v suggest_v and_o furthermore_o to_o consider_v that_o the_o great_a pretender_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n which_o with_o respect_n to_o magistrate_n teach_v nothing_o but_o to_o obey_v or_o su●er_n shall_v notwithstanding_o preach_v up_o rebellion_n against_o their_o

against_o the_o principle_n of_o right_a reason_n so_o repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o our_o own_o nation_n and_o so_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o peaceable_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o beside_o the_o atheist_n it_o have_v make_v it_o have_v and_o ever_o will_v constrain_v man_n of_o honest_a principle_n and_o just_a resentment_n to_o persecute_v you_o with_o satyr_n and_o exclamation_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n i_o have_v not_o here_o present_v that_o tragical_a scene_n of_o the_o king_n murder_n but_o that_o i_o have_v have_v so_o many_o unpleasant_a occasion_n to_o hear_v our_o nation_n reproach_v with_o the_o scandal_n and_o dishonour_n of_o that_o inhuman_a fact_n particular_o it_o be_v my_o bad_a fortune_n to_o be_v at_o a_o station_n in_o

they_o cease_v to_o wonder_v say_v in_o every_o company_n as_o we_o pass_v along_o it_o be_v not_o so_o strange_a that_o the_o english_a devil_n shall_v do_v this_o who_o former_o murder_v their_o

take_v into_o consideration_n the_o growth_n of_o atheism_n in_o our_o nation_n whereupon_o some_o french_a gentleman_n of_o my_o acquaintance_n serious_o inquire_v of_o i_o the_o cause_n of_o so_o much_o atheism_n among_o such_o a_o think_v and_o solid_a people_n i_o assign_v the_o same_o reason_n which_o i_o have_v write_v above_o beside_o some_o other_o which_o i_o will_v not_o stand_v to_o

that_o fell_v the_o royal_a oak_n but_o you_o and_o the_o independent_n like_o the_o two_o sacrilegious_a priest_n of_o jupiter_n be_v equal_o guilty_a of_o the_o crime_n the_o one_o for_o bind_v
