presbyterian_a brethren_n desire_v to_o discourse_v of_o church-affair_n as_o private_a person_n with_o mr._n seton_n and_o his_o equal_a number_n his_o grace_n be_v take_v up_o with_o the_o weighty_a

of_o they_o will_v not_o have_v refuse_v he_o none_o of_o they_o yet_o have_v and_o i_o be_o confident_a of_o many_o of_o they_o at_o least_o never_o shall_v but_o mr._n seton_n it_o may_v be_v do_v think_v he_o and_o his_o constituent_n will_v have_v great_a advantage_n by_o make_v a_o brave_a offer_n of_o a_o conference_n which_o he_o conclude_v will_v not_o be_v grant_v he_o by_o the_o thing_n

betwixt_o a_o equal_a number_n of_o we_o and_o our_o presbyterian_a brethreen_a see_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n be_v settle_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o presbyterian_a brethreen_n by_o law_n and_o they_o in_o a_o fix_a possession_n of_o the_o same_o and_o act_v therein_o with_o that_o success_n as_o be_v the_o envy_n of_o mr._n seton_n and_o his_o constituent_n and_o such_o as_o with_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n will_v in_o a_o small_a time_n fill_v these_o vacancy_n which_o the_o disloyalty_n and_o profanity_n of_o these_o who_o be_v mr._n seton_n old_a friend_n and_o allay_v have_v make_v in_o his_o country_n with_o man_n i_o hope_v of_o another_o stamp_n mr._n seton_n know_v the_o parliament_n as_o well_o as_o the_o church_n have_v lay_v down_o another_o way_n of_o application_n than_o the_o demand_n of_o a_o conference_n of_o a_o equal_a number_n as_o if_o his_o gang_n and_o the_o church_n be_v on_o equal_a term_n but_o he_o have_v in_o some_o measure_n gain_v his_o point_n if_o he_o make_v some_o in_o another_o country_n believe_v that_o the_o episcopal_a party_n be_v still_o so_o considerable_a in_o scotland_n as_o that_o notwithstanding_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n have_v for_o several_a year_n be_v settle_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o presbyterian_o and_o be_v countenance_v and_o cherish_v by_o the_o state_n yet_o they_o think_v it_o their_o due_n due_a to_o their_o great_a number_n better_a cause_n and_o most_o command_a eloquence_n to_o demand_v of_o a_o high_a commissioner_n and_o in_o the_o view_n of_o a_o parliament_n who_o have_v so_o much_o favour_v presbytrie_n such_o a_o conference_n he_o know_v that_o in_o this_o country_n it_o will_v not_o take_v the_o parliament_n and_o church_n have_v determine_v concern_v the_o

when_o the_o number_n of_o his_o constituent_n shall_v be_v inquire_v into_o he_o can_v let_v see_v so_o many_o duzon_n of_o they_o qualify_v according_a to_o law_n even_o with_o the_o civil_a part_n of_o qualification_n as_o there_o be_v hundred_o of_o his_o presbyterian_a brethereen_n and_o some_o of_o his_o constituent_n lie_v under_o the_o just_a censure_n of_o the_o church_n who_o after_o they_o have_v not_o the_o confidence_n to_o defend_v themselves_o at_o the_o bar_n he_o now_o bring_v in_o as_o his_o brethreen_a to_o confer_v as_o recti_fw-la in_o curia_fw-la i_o will_v not_o allege_v that_o some_o other_o of_o his_o constituent_n be_v person_n who_o do_v like_o way_n well_o deserve_v the_o high_a censure_n of_o the_o church_n but_o some_o of_o these_o few_o of_o his_o

to_o prove_v the_o same_o and_o if_o mr._n seton_n have_v not_o these_o man_n to_o make_v up_o his_o constituent_n he_o have_v but_o a_o very_a small_a number_n i_o doubt_v still_o that_o a_o

for_o mr._n seton_n to_o soar_v in_o the_o cloud_n and_o keep_v in_o the_o general_n then_o come_v to_o particular_n it_o seem_v that_o the_o wisdom_n and_o compassion_n of_o our_o king_n and_o parliament_n have_v not_o yet_o find_v out_o the_o true_a remedy_n to_o heal_v our_o wound_n mr._n seton_n have_v not_o confidence_n that_o the_o authority_n of_o public_a sanction_n will_v be_v effectual_a though_o i_o be_o of_o the_o opinion_n that_o a_o just_a and_o charitable_a execution_n of_o they_o will_v mighty_o contribute_v to_o our_o peace_n you_o will_v find_v the_o parliament_n must_v alter_v their_o term_n and_o yet_o that_o will_v not_o do_v to_o satisfy_v mr._n seton_n and_o his_o man_n but_o this_o i_o dare_v say_v will_v effectual_o quiet_v and_o excite_v he_o to_o new_a anthem_n the_o change_n of_o the_o present_a government_n the_o re-establish_a of_o bishop_n and_o all_o the_o old_a clergy_n will_v recover_v a_o once_o flourish_a church_n from_o its_o desolation_n than_o a_o a_o pure_a and_o peaceable_a gentle_a and_o easy_a government_n will_v possess_v the_o throne_n but_o as_o yet_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n seem_v not_o thereto_o incline_v mr._n seton_n must_v propose_v some_o other_o thing_n what_o if_o peaceble_a mr._n seton_n desire_v to_o put_v a_o period_n to_o the_o schism_n by_o this_o mean_n that_o every_o man_n and_o every_o minister_n may_v have_v the_o liberty_n to_o follow_v their_o own_o inclination_n and_o these_o who_o desire_v bishop_n and_o episcopal_a clergy_n may_v not_o be_v deprive_v of_o so_o great_a a_o blessing_n and_o mr._n seaton_n will_v be_v so_o charitable_a at_o least_o for_o this_o session_n of_o parliament_n as_o to_o allow_v some_o angry_a zealous_a bigot_n a_o gentle_a touch_n of_o presbytry_n provide_v it_o offend_v no_o body_n and_o then_o when_o every_o body_n get_v their_o will_n all_o will_v be_v please_v but_o i_o be_o of_o the_o opinion_n more_o peace_n then_o that_o will_v produce_v may_v be_v have_v at_o a_o easy_a rate_n in_o short_a so_o many_o difficulty_n arise_v in_o any_o particular_a ground_n for_o a_o conference_n and_o mr._n seton_n will_v be_v in_o such_o a_o strait_a to_o get_v his_o charity_n to_o his_o own_o constituent_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n so_o large_o extend_v as_o to_o secure_v they_o be_v their_o immorality_n what_o they_o will_v from_o the_o cloutches_n of_o angry_a zeal_n and_o his_o complaisance_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n be_v such_o as_o not_o direct_o to_o spit_v in_o the_o face_n of_o authority_n civil_a and_o eclesiastick_a though_o he_o be_v ready_a enough_o to_o spurn_v at_o they_o with_o his_o heel_n that_o i_o believe_v if_o you_o will_v let_v the_o peaceable_a man_n alone_o he_o will_v not_o much_o press_v a_o conference_n he_o have_v make_v the_o offer_n print_v his_o petition_n send_v it_o up_o last_o post_n to_o london_n he_o have_v wait_v as_o long_o as_o he_o think_v fit_a and_o the_o care_n of_o the_o church_n will_v call_v he_o home_o but_o before_o he_o go_v i_o will_v let_v he_o and_o his_o gang_n see_v that_o all_o presbyterian_o be_v not_o so_o full_a of_o angry_a zeal_n as_o not_o in_o some_o measure_n to_o be_v easie_n and_o gentle_a and_o therefore_o i_o will_v charitable_o advise_v he_o and_o his_o friend_n to_o lay_v aside_o their_o illegal_a as_o well_o as_o unchristian_a combination_n to_o re-establish_a episcopacy_n in_o scotland_n which_o tyranny_n now_o call_v jacobitism_n and_o profanity_n will_v always_o attend_v let_v they_o by_o their_o practice_n and_o temper_n show_v some_o of_o that_o charity_n and_o peaceableness_n his_o word_n pretend_v to_o let_v they_o strive_v and_o endeavour_v in_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n to_o come_v to_o their_o
