to_o parliament_n temporal_a magistrate_n and_o synod_n which_o be_v here_o cast_v upon_o independent_a church_n by_o way_n of_o imputation_n and_o charge_n i_o mean_v regulation_n and_o obligement_n

the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n be_v a_o far_o more_o effectual_a and_o hopeful_a mean_n to_o keep_v they_o all_o in_o peace_n and_o unity_n than_o that_o subordination_n mention_v by_o mr._n prynne_n be_v to_o keep_v all_o trade_n and_o society_n in_o the_o same_o precious_a posture_n only_o in_o this_o one_o thing_n these_o poor_a independent_a church_n desire_v parliament_n and_o magistrate_n and_o synod_n to_o be_v merciful_a unto_o they_o that_o they_o can_v write_v any_o of_o they_o infallible_a nor_o yet_o subscribe_v unto_o any_o their_o injunction_n or_o decision_n in_o matter_n of_o

his_o three_o and_o last_o difference_n also_o 46._o we_o answer_v 1._o that_o he_o say_v very_o well_o in_o point_n of_o truth_n when_o he_o say_v that_o christian_n as_o christian_n be_v all_o of_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o society_n and_o profession_n as_o those_o of_o one_o trade_n and_o calling_n be_v but_o this_o truth_n as_o yet_o be_v not_o at_o all_o conscious_a to_o his_o intention_n or_o purpose_n therefore_o he_o add_v therefore_o they_o shall_v all_o have_v but_o one_o church_n and_o government_n as_o these_o trade_n have_v nor_o do_v this_o if_o grant_v make_v any_o whit_n more_o for_o the_o presbyterian_a cause_n then_o for_o the_o independent_a because_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v christian_n as_o christian_n ought_v all_o to_o have_v one_o and_o the_o same_o church_n and_o government_n therefore_o this_o church_n and_o government_n ought_v to_o be_v presbyterian_a take_v a_o parallel_n simeon_n and_o levi_n ought_v to_o have_v be_v brethren_n therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v brethren_n in_o iniquity_n take_v another_o a●ania●_n and_o sapphira_n be_v man_n and_o wife_n aught_o to_o have_v agree_v together_o therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v agree_v together_o to_o tempt_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o 2._o if_o by_o his_o one_o church_n he_o mean_v one_o and_o the_o same_o catholic_a mystical_a and_o invisible_a church_n we_o answer_v that_o christian_n as_o christian_n have_v all_o one_o and_o the_o same_o church_n in_o this_o sense_n they_o be_v all_o member_n of_o this_o one_o church_n but_o if_o he_o mean_v one_o and_o the_o same_o ministerial_a and_o visible_a church_n we_o answer_v by_o demand_v how_o can_v this_o thing_n be_v we_o have_v hear_v indeed_o of_o some_o ecumenical_a counsel_n but_o of_o ecumenical_a visible_a church_n wherein_o all_o christian_n shall_v be_v comprehend_v as_o member_n i_o believe_v there_o have_v be_v ecumenical_a silence_n unto_o this_o day_n 3._o whereas_o he_o go_v about_o to_o set_v the_o comparison_n of_o his_o own_o make_n upright_o by_o state_v it_o thus_o if_o some_o of_o one_o fraternity_n in_o london_n suppose_v merchant-t_a tylor_n saddler_n etc._n etc._n shall_v fall_v out_o among_o themselves_o and_o one_o will_v have_v one_o form_n of_o government_n another_o another_o and_o thereupon_o divide_v themselves_o into_o

company_n and_o continue_v independent_a this_o no_o doubt_n will_v prove_v a_o apparent_a schism_n and_o seminary_n of_o infinite_a division_n to_o the_o distraction_n destruction_n of_o the_o whole_a company_n and_o fraternity_n and_o then_o add_v this_o be_v the_o true_a state_n of_o your_o independency_n we_o answer_v that_o the_o comparison_n thus_o state_v hold_v no_o proportion_n or_o correspondence_n with_o the_o state_n of_o independency_n for_o 1._o that_o number_n of_o christian_n which_o plead_v for_o independency_n so_o call_v be_v not_o the_o whole_a socieitie_n of_o

therein_o suppose_a to_o be_v the_o whole_a society_n of_o such_o a_o company_n therefore_o to_o set_v mr._n prynnes_n comparison_n upright_o and_o make_v it_o agree_v with_o the_o state_n of_o

3._o in_o case_n the_o fraternity_n of_o merchant-taylors_n in_o london_n shall_v fall_v out_o among_o themselves_o and_o one_o will_v have_v one_o form_n of_o government_n and_o another_o another_o
