protestant_n peacemaker_n p._n 62._o it_o be_v observe_v by_o a_o reverend_a prelate_n of_o this_o church_n i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o great_a fault_n in_o conformist_n to_o be_v stiff_a and_o

be_v our_o temper_n the_o donatist_n be_v catholic_n to_o we_o for_o they_o and_o their_o principle_n go_v one_o way_n but_o here_o we_o and_o our_o principle_n be_v two_o but_o say_v i_o suppose_v there_o be_v never_o a_o dissenter_n in_o the_o land_n have_v i_o not_o know_v you_o willing_a forward_a and_o desirous_a to_o have_v those_o alteration_n make_v that_o for_o aught_o i_o hear_v be_v

the_o psalm_n to_o be_v more_o useful_a and_o more_o exact_a than_o the_o new_a and_o a_o state_n of_o the_o church_n without_o discipline_n more_o perfect_a than_o what_o be_v under_o the_o

friend_n you_o have_v overrun_v the_o point_n for_o when_o we_o say_v it_o be_v not_o seeasonable_a we_o mean_v it_o be_v not_o seasonable_a to_o change_v a_o good_a settlement_n for_o a_o bad_a one_o that_o have_v pass_v the_o test_n of_o a_o age_n for_o what_o be_v yet_o to_o come_v and_o have_v we_o not_o better_o be_v content_a with_o our_o constitution_n as_o it_o be_v with_o all_o its_o infirmity_n than_o to_o throw_v it_o all_o upon_o the_o chance_n of_o a_o new_a settlement_n upon_o this_o i_o see_v all_o my_o former_a argue_n be_v lose_v and_o that_o i_o be_v to_o take_v the_o case_n by_o a_o new_a handle_n well!_o suppose_v say_v i_o the_o parliament_n illegal_a and_o the_o government_n precarious_a and_o the_o law_n now_o make_v no_o law_n you_o be_v but_o where_o you_o be_v if_o they_o be_v no_o law_n your_o old_a law_n be_v firm_a and_o stable_a but_o if_o the_o government_n parliament_n and_o law_n be_v good_a you_o will_v have_v as_o good_a a_o law_n for_o your_o

than_o your_o old_a but_o pray_v say_v i_o to_o go_v a_o little_a further_o what_o do_v you_o think_v will_v follow_v if_o this_o government_n sink_v which_o god_n forbid_v what_o will_v then_o be_v your_o case_n will_v you_o then_o retire_v to_o declaration_n and_o temper_v again_o or_o can_v you_o think_v the_o polyphemus_n of_o popery_n will_v spare_v those_o that_o wait_v the_o season_n and_o be_v not_o for_o a_o union_n till_o a_o union_n will_v do_v they_o no_o good_a assure_v yourselves_o my_o friend_n you_o must_v then_o be_v content_a to_o part_v with_o your_o conscience_n and_o your_o religion_n to_o save_v your_o life_n or_o part_n with_o your_o life_n to_o save_v your_o conscience_n i_o think_v it_o be_v now_o high_a time_n to_o leave_v they_o to_o their_o coach_n and_o
