2.8_o just_a so_o our_o minister_n now_o a_o day_n if_o the_o people_n go_v to_o they_o for_o instruction_n in_o this_o four_o come_v they_o shall_v have_v destruction_n the_o la_o shall_v be_v so_o

for_o it_o for_o the_o second_o of_o these_o property_n to_o wite_v honesty_n for_o i_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o second_o i_o grant_v it_o to_o be_v in_o our_o minister_n be_v it_o they_o be_v all_o godly_a &_o religiouse_a yet_o this_o be_v but_o one_o of_o the_o property_n of_o a_o warrantable_a testimony_n nevertheless_o because_o many_o people_n plead_v much_o the_o honesty_n of_o their_o minister_n say_v they_o be_v godly_a holy_a &_o very_o zealouse_a man_n etc._n etc._n for_o my_o part_n if_o i_o can_v be_v move_v to_o question_v their_o honesty_n here_o be_v cause_n enough_o for_o what_o great_a cause_n can_v there_o be_v to_o move_v one_o to_o suspect_v their_o zeal_n to_o be_v ignorance_n &_o their_o holiness_n to_o be_v hollowness_n &_o &_o feign_v then_o to_o hear_v they_o speak_v or_o dispute_v against_o god_n word_n &_o ordinance_n &_o against_o a_o express_a come_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n a_o man_n will_v think_v that_o man_n can_v not_o be_v sound_a at_o the_o core_n &_o heart_n that_o dare_v oppose_v god_n &_o that_o unnecessary_o the_o which_o they_o do_v that_o oppose_v his_o command_a sabbath_n for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o property_n to_o wit_n wisdom_n i_o grant_v they_o have_v wisdom_n &_o learning_n enough_o to_o understand_v this_o point_n but_o have_v they_o employ_v this_o their_o wisdom_n &_o learning_n in_o the_o impartial_a search_n of_o this_o point_n for_o the_o find_n of_o it_o out_o for_o take_v a_o wise_a &_o learned_a man_n testimony_n in_o any_o art_n or_o in_o any_o point_n about_o druinity_n wherein_o he_o be_v not_o study_v &_o he_o be_v like_o a_o unlerned_a man_n as_o sampson_z when_o his_o lock_n be_v cut_v he_o be_v weak_a like_o a_o other_o man_n now_o be_v it_o that_o they_o have_v never_o so_o much_o learning_n &_o wisdom_n yet_o since_o they_o have_v not_o employ_v their_o wisdom_n &_o learning_n for_o the_o find_v out_o of_o this_o point_n what_o avail_v it_o that_o they_o be_v wise_a &_o learned_a for_o in_o this_o matter_n they_o be_v neither_o wise_a nor_o learned_a because_o they_o have_v use_v neither_o of_o they_o in_o this_o study_n that_o this_o be_v so_o appear_v from_o their_o own_o confession_n for_o some_o &_o of_o the_o very_a chief_a &_o principal_a of_o they_o have_v confess_v unto_o i_o &_o other_o unto_o my_o friend_n who_o have_v relate_v it_o true_o to_o i_o that_o they_o have_v say_v that_o they_o have_v study_v indeed_o to_o maintain_v a_o sabbath_n day_n out_o of_o the_o four_o come_v but_o whither_o it_o shall_v be_v upon_o the_o 7_o day_n or_o the_o 8_o day_n on_o the_o saturday_n or_o on_o the_o sunday_n this_o point_n never_o come_v into_o their_o mind_n to_o study_v it_o well_o then_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v study_v by_o the_o chief_a of_o they_o that_o have_v bone_n the_o most_o studious_a &_o search_v it_o must_v be_v yield_v that_o the_o residue_n of_o they_o have_v much_o more_o overskipt_v it_o tell_v i_o then_o if_o the_o say_n of_o these_o man_n against_o this_o point_n of_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n be_v to_o be_v regard_v when_o as_o it_o be_v a_o point_n which_o never_o so_o much_o as_o come_v in_o to_o their_o mind_n to_o study_v it_o let_v people_n no_o more_o boast_v of_o the_o wisdom_n &_o learning_n of_o their_o minister_n then_o nor_o yet_o of_o their_o multitud_n etc._n etc._n &_o that_o they_o all_o which_o one_o voice_n have_v cry_v out_o &_o speak_v against_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n as_o ceremony_n can_v a_o blind_a man_n judge_v of_o colour_n or_o a_o wise_a man_n speak_v of_o what_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o let_v people_n no_o more_o therefore_o rely_v upon_o the_o wisdom_n &_o learning_n of_o their_o minister_n in_o this_o point_n but_o let_v they_o imitate_v those_o noble_a berean_o act._n 17._o let_v they_o search_v the_o scripture_n daily_o to_o see_v if_o these_o thing_n i_o tender_v unto_o they_o be_v so_o or_o no_o and_o this_o be_v one_o cause_n why_o i_o reject_v the_o verdict_n of_o our_o minister_n in_o this_o point_n because_o it_o want_v one_o of_o the_o property_n of_o a_o warrantable_a testimony_n to_o wit_n the_o use_n of_o their_o wisdom_n &_o learning_n &_o hereby_o it_o appear_v also_o upon_o what_o poor_a ground_n our_o common_a people_n have_v hither_o to_o go_v in_o rely_v their_o soul_n in_o this_o matter_n upon_o their_o minister_n zeal_n holiness_n &_o learning_n what_o if_o they_o be_v never_o so_o zealous_a holy_a pure_a &_o learn_v it_o be_v but_o a_o zeal_n without_o knowledge_n which_o speak_v of_o thing_n not_o sound_o study_v and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o 3d_o property_n namely_o good_a will_n this_o property_n of_o a_o warrantable_a testimony_n our_o minister_n want_v for_o they_o have_v no_o good_a will_n at_o all_o to_o the_o cause_n but_o all_o evil_a will_n that_o may_v be_v witness_v all_o their_o word_n and_o deed_n in_o &_o about_o this_o matter_n if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o cause_n to_o be_v try_v before_o the_o judge_n by_o 12_o jury_n man_n if_o he_o suspect_v some_o one_o of_o the_o 12_o to_o be_v his_o enemy_n they_o say_v it_o be_v lawful_a for_o he_o to_o except_v against_o that_o man_n for_o that_o cause_n &_o the_o judge_n will_v cause_v that_o man_n to_o be_v draw_v and_o a_o other_o to_o be_v swear_v in_o his_o room_n which_o declare_v that_o a_o man_n suspect_v to_o have_v no_o good_a will_n be_v not_o esteem_v a_o fit_a man_n to_o determine_v of_o a_o controversy_n now_o that_o there_o be_v cause_n for_o we_o to_o suspect_v most_o minister_n to_o have_v evil_a will_n to_o this_o cause_n of_o god_n sabbath_n appear_v 1._o by_o their_o word_n and_o deed_n to_o the_o contrary_a among_o other_o let_v those_o many_o slander_n &_o reproachful_a speech_n and_o hard_a usage_n which_o they_o have_v use_v against_o i_o for_o defend_v this_o cause_n of_o god_n let_v these_o i_o say_v testify_v whither_o they_o be_v friend_n or_o enemy_n to_o the_o cause_n 2._o there_o be_v great_a
