A64939	A review and examination of a book bearing the title of The history of the indulgence wherein the lawfulness of the acceptance of the peaceable exercise of the ministry granted by the Acts of the magistrates indulgence is demonstrated, contrary objections answered, and the vindication of such as withdraw from hearing indulged ministers is confuted : to which is added a survey of the mischievous absurdities of the late bond and Sanquhair declaration.

consider_v how_o to_o deliver_v the_o church_n from_o this_o evil_a and_o their_o brethren_n out_o of_o the_o snare_n and_o themselves_o from_o give_v this_o evil_a any_o interpretatite_n

subject_a to_o the_o minister_n and_o their_o work_n be_v to_o kindle_v the_o fire_n of_o contention_n if_o he_o and_o the_o author_n of_o the_o history_n have_v have_v as_o much_o charity_n for_o

the_o cause_n etc._n etc._n when_o all_o that_o he_o say_v of_o these_o young_a man_n be_v that_o they_o have_v excess_n which_o be_v incident_a to_o the_o zeal_n of_o the_o best_a saint_n out_o of_o

seem_v too_o rash_a a_o word_n and_o therefore_o he_o mollify_v it_o by_o the_o alternative_a of_o cure_v and_o yet_o i_o can_v understand_v how_o he_o come_v to_o condescend_v to_o the_o cure_n of_o their_o excess_n for_o if_o i_o be_v not_o misinform_v he_o and_o the_o author_n of_o the_o history_n commend_v they_o for_o these_o practice_n which_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o their_o great_a excess_n
