therefore_o that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n or_o at_o the_o least_o many_o of_o the_o teacher_n and_o guide_n

the_o pastor_n do_v keep_v back_o some_o for_o ignorance_n etc._n etc._n here_o you_o confess_v that_o very_o many_o church_n in_o england_n want_v godly_a pastor_n and_o that_o there_o all_o be_v admit_v and_o that_o he_o that_o admit_v they_o be_v the_o worst_a of_o the_o company_n thus_o you_o make_v the_o most_o chuch_v in_o england_n in_o a_o very_a bad_a estate_n and_o so_o far_o forth_o you_o affirm_v your_o article_n but_o yet_o you_o know_v some_o church_n etc._n etc._n i_o do_v confess_v and_o do_v still_o with_o grief_n that_o in_o very_a many_o g._n assembly_n in_o england_n all_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o offer_v themselves_o even_o the_o most_o profane_a and_o gross_a sinner_n i_o show_v also_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o gréevous_a offence_n namely_o that_o the_o minister_n which_o shall_v repel_v such_o open_a offender_n be_v many_o time_n the_o worst_a or_o at_o least_o negligent_a in_o that_o behalf_n and_o moreover_o that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v neither_o approve_v such_o admission_n of_o profane_a man_n to_o the_o sacrament_n nor_o yet_o suffer_v it_o in_o practice_n whole_o for_o touch_v practice_n there_o be_v many_o congregation_n in_o the_o land_n where_o sundry_a for_o ignorance_n and_o open_a wickedness_n be_v by_o the_o minister_n keep_v back_o and_o not_o suffer_v to_o communicate_v until_o they_o show_v repentance_n and_o for_o not_o approve_v such_o admission_n i_o say_v the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n do_v prescribe_v and_o command_v the_o repel_v of_o notorious_a wicked_a offender_n and_o also_o that_o some_o be_v excommunicate_v just_o &_o not_o admit_v to_o public_a prayer_n this_o be_v the_o first_o part_n of_o my_o answer_n wherein_o i_o prove_v your_o accusation_n false_a the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o godly_a be_v not_o pollute_v by_o the_o company_n of_o the_o wicked_a which_o be_v suffer_v to_o communicate_v with_o they_o in_o god_n worship_n and_o the_o thing_n not_o in_o their_o power_n to_o redress_v and_o for_o example_n i_o allege_v the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n by_o which_o i_o prove_v that_o if_o your_o accusation_n be_v true_a yet_o it_o destroy_v not_o the_o church_n now_o let_v we_o examine_v how_o you_o overthrow_v this_o by_o your_o reply_n the_o ask_v whether_o there_o be_v no_o more_o profane_a in_o the_o parish_n beside_o those_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o which_o be_v repel_v and_o whether_o those_o other_o profane_a be_v not_o admit_v i_o answer_v if_o there_o be_v yet_o the_o repel_v of_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o in_o a_o flock_n do_v show_v that_o you_o accuse_v false_o when_o you_o say_v all_o the_o profane_a without_o exception_n of_o any_o one_o person_n be_v retain_v in_o the_o body_n and_o bosom_n of_o our_o church_n but_o to_o prove_v your_o article_n at_o once_o as_o you_o say_v by_o a_o more_o direct_a course_n you_o bring_v a_o argument_n and_o you_o demand_v if_o i_o know_v any_o in_o all_o the_o realm_n of_o england_n unbaptise_v be_v not_o baptism_n say_v you_o a_o sacrament_n belong_v to_o the_o church_n by_o which_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o their_o seed_n do_v enter_v into_o it_o whereupon_o you_o argue_v thus_o all_o be_v baptize_v it_o follow_v that_o all_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o body_n of_o your_o church_n now_o be_v once_o receive_v in_o they_o can_v no_o way_n be_v cast_v out_o but_o by_o excommunication_n and_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o parson_n and_o all_o his_o parish_n have_v not_o the_o power_n which_o christ_n have_v leave_v unto_o his_o church_n to_o excommunicate_v any_o offender_n be_v he_o never_o so_o obstinate_a or_o notorious_a etc._n etc._n this_o be_v the_o only_a reason_n by_o which_o you_o stand_v to_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o your_o accusation_n i_o must_v bestow_v the_o more_o pain_n about_o it_o thus_o it_o must_v be_v set_v in_o form_n where_o all_o be_v receive_v in_o by_o baptism_n and_o no_o power_n to_o cast_v forth_o any_o by_o excommunication_n there_o all_o the_o profane_a multitude_n be_v without_o exception_n of_o any_o one_o person_n receive_v into_o &_o retain_v in_o the_o bosom_n and_o body_n of_o

and_o also_o such_o papist_n heretic_n and_o schismatic_n as_o depart_v out_o of_o themselves_o it_o be_v further_a also_o to_o be_v consider_v in_o it_o that_o all_o the_o baptize_v continue_v outward_o obedient_a they_o can_v be_v just_o call_v the_o profane_a multitude_n your_o presumption_n in_o which_o you_o charge_v the_o church_n of_o england_n with_o a_o principal_a transgression_n

this_o appear_v to_o be_v your_o judgement_n that_o the_o child_n of_o profane_a man_n which_o remain_v in_o the_o church_n and_o profess_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n belong_v not_o to_o the_o
