see_v &_o he_o will_v but_o tell_v we_o whether_o he_o never_o supplicate_v to_o any_o for_o the_o furtherane_n thereof_o but_o be_v it_o true_a that_o he_o do_v as_o he_o say_v may_v we_o not_o just_o charge_v upon_o he_o the_o neglect_n of_o his_o duty_n in_o that_o he_o enter_v into_o the_o ministry_n and_o take_v one_o lyve_v after_o another_o and_o that_o with_o subscription_n for_o aught_o be_v know_v to_o the_o contrary_a and_o yet_o hold_v the_o matter_n in_o suspense_n a_o long_a time_n &_o resolve_v not_o to_o be_v as_o he_o afrerward_o say_v a_o meddler_n on_o either_o syd_v but_o to_o proceed_v he_o give_v we_o two_o reason_n such_o as_o they_o be_v for_o his_o excuse_n the_o first_o be_v he_o right_o suppose_v as_o he_o say_v his_o pain_n may_v be_v better_o bestow_v in_o other_o part_n of_o divinity_n and_o why_o so_o do_v he_o not_o affirm_v this_o part_n to_o be_v a_o profitable_a and_o necessary_a truth_n and_o have_v not_o god_n command_v to_o his_o minister_n especial_o the_o study_n as_o of_o every_o part_n of_o his_o will_n so_o of_o this_o so_o profitable_a &_o necessary_a a_o truth_n as_o concern_v the_o government_n of_o his_o church_n the_o minister_n and_o officer_n thereof_o yea_o can_v the_o minister_n more_o profitable_o bestow_v their_o pain_n &_o study_n then_o in_o these_o point_n of_o divinity_n that_o be_v most_o doubt_v of_o &_o controvert_v in_o the_o church_n whereof_o they_o be_v member_n yea_o be_v they_o not_o bind_v to_o it_o when_o the_o cause_n so_o stand_v that_o they_o must_v subscribe_v to_o the_o one_o and_o that_o the_o most_o suspect_a side_n even_o such_o as_o the_o most_o and_o best_a learn_v in_o the_o world_n approve_v not_o whether_o this_o supposition_n of_o his_o be_v right_a as_o he_o say_v or_o not_o let_v the_o world_n judge_n but_o to_o give_v it_o the_o more_o credit_n he_o tell_v we_o how_o he_o hear_v m._n greenham_n a_o zealous_a preacher_n reprove_v young_a divine_n in_o a_o sermon_n at_o cambridge_n &c_n &c_n for_o set_v up_o the_o roof_n before_o they_o have_v lay_v the_o foundation_n all_o as_o poor_a man_n what_o succour_n be_v there_o under_o this_o man_n shadow_n if_o m._n greenham_n so_o censure_v all_o young_a divine_n for_o study_v the_o discipline_n whereto_o can_v it_o be_v impute_v but_o to_o some_o distemper_a passion_n or_o zeal_n without_o judgement_n in_o he_o not_o to_o any_o sound_a reason_n sure_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o matter_n well_o be_v there_o not_o great_a reason_n for_o he_o to_o reprove_v the_o prelate_n for_o urginge_v young_a divine_n to_o subscribe_v to_o the_o discipline_n in_o controversy_n and_o seek_v resolution_n in_o it_o have_v not_o young_a divine_v just_a cause_n to_o study_v it_o when_o see_v it_o controvert_v among_o many_o &_o great_a divine_n old_a and_o new_a they_o must_v notwithstanding_o beforced_a to_o subscribe_v and_o thereby_o to_o approve_v that_o part_n which_o they_o know_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a light_n that_o these_o late_a age_n have_v afford_v the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v it_o not_o strange_a they_o can_v be_v content_v man_n shall_v nay_o will_v they_o not_o condemn_v they_o if_o they_o do_v not_o subscribe_v to_o that_o as_o true_a and_o yet_o blame_v they_o if_o they_o study_v the_o same_o and_o examine_v whether_o it_o be_v true_a or_o no_o what_o be_v it_o else_o but_o with_o the_o blind_a papist_n to_o make_v ignorance_n the_o mother_n of_o devotion_n even_o to_o believe_v as_o the_o church_n believe_v and_o good_a enough_o yea_o what_o else_o be_v it_o but_o to_o control_v the_o course_n of_o our_o own_o and_o all_o university_n in_o the_o world_n who_o require_v of_o young_a divine_n the_o public_a defence_n of_o controversy_n of_o religion_n in_o open_a school_n &_o assembly_n of_o learned_a man_n and_o yet_o deny_v they_o the_o study_n of_o these_o controversy_n that_o trouble_v our_o own_o church_n though_o they_o be_v deem_v not_o to_o befoe_n deep_a and_o profound_a as_o other_o controversy_n be_v but_o such_o as_o easyne_v itself_o if_o we_o may_v believe_v m._n hooker_n have_v only_o make_v hard_a but_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o young_a divine_n endure_v no_o such_o censure_n in_o case_n they_o so_o study_v these_o matter_n of_o discipline_n that_o they_o can_v learn_v to_o preach_v and_o dispute_v and_o rail_v against_o they_o in_o pulpit_n and_o school_n nay_o they_o be_v the_o only_a man_n that_o be_v judge_v to_o lay_v the_o best_a foundation_n &_o pave_v the_o ready_a way_n for_o their_o own_o preferment_n they_o only_a which_o so_o study_v the_o same_o that_o they_o can_v but_o like_v and_o approve_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o they_o they_o i_o say_v be_v the_o whappie_a man_n that_o be_v overbusye_a in_o matter_n of_o discipline_n &_o set_v up_o the_o roof_n before_o they_o have_v lay_v the_o foundation_n in_o his_o second_o reason_n he_o tell_v we_o he_o can_v not_o see_v what_o good_a will_v come_v either_o to_o himself_o or_o to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n by_o his_o pain_n take_v in_o that_o controversy_n for_o he_o conceyve_v the_o issue_n of_o his_o study_n will_v be_v either_o the_o disgrace_n of_o his_o ministry_n among_o the_o forward_a sort_n if_o he_o resolve_v as_o not_o when_o have_v do_v or_o the_o overthrow_n of_o his_o

another_o what_o else_o can_v it_o argue_v but_o that_o he_o walk_v not_o in_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o function_n with_o so_o right_a a_o foot_n and_o sincere_a affection_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v have_v he_o make_v straight_o step_n to_o his_o path_n he_o will_v have_v respect_v not_o so_o much_o the_o grace_n of_o man_n how_o holy_a and_o forward_a in_o show_n soever_o as_o the_o

so_o to_o fear_v the_o displease_v of_o some_o and_o the_o disgrace_n of_o his_o ministry_n with_o they_o as_o in_o that_o regard_n to_o forbear_v of_o along_o time_n the_o scarch_v out_o of_o that_o divine_a truth_n which_o himself_o affirm_v to_o be_v both_o profitable_a &_o necessary_a of_o as_o ill_a note_n be_v it_o that_o he_o refuse_v so_o to_o do_v for_o sear_v least_o in_o see_v the_o
