or_o with_o regard_n to_o the_o apostle_n rule_n rom._n 15._o 1_o 2._o not_o to_o please_v ourselves_o but_o every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o please_v his_o neighbour_n for_o his_o good_a to_o

for_o the_o better_a and_o further_o that_o in_o some_o season_n and_o in_o some_o private_a place_n where_o ceremony_n want_v that_o augustness_n which_o the_o advantage_n of_o public_a and_o great_a

may_v hence_o redound_v to_o the_o church_n will_v be_v very_o considerable_a both_o in_o respect_n of_o proselyte_n and_o strength_n thereby_o as_o also_o perhaps_o in_o other_o point_n and_o i_o seem_v to_o myself_o herein_o to_o follow_v the_o sense_n and_o guidance_n of_o our_o church_n for_o even_o at_o present_a the_o injunction_n of_o the_o ceremony_n do_v not_o appear_v to_o i_o to_o extend_v itself_o to_o all_o place_n and_o season_n as_o for_o instance_n a_o minister_n baptise_n a_o child_n in_o case_n of_o real_a necessity_n in_o private_a and_o he_o neither_o habit_n himself_o in_o his_o surplice_n etc._n etc._n nor_o sign_n the_o child_n with_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o the_o baptism_n be_v by_o the_o rubric_n declare_v lawful_a and_o sufficient_a nor_o do_v the_o minister_n offend_v in_o the_o omission_n of_o those_o ceremony_n because_o no_o law_n require_v they_o in_o this_o particular_a than_o the_o sense_n and_o spirit_n of_o our_o church_n touch_v
