A26901 The church told of Mr. Ed. Bagshaw's scandals and warned of the dangerous snares of Satan now laid for them in his love-killing principles with a farther proof that it is our common duty to keep up the interest of the Christian religion and Protestant cause in the parish churches, and not to imprison them by a confinement to tolerated meetings alone / by Richard Baxter ... Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691. 1672 (1672) Wing B1226; ESTC R1907 28,184 36

the_o church_n though_o i_o say_v nothing_o but_o what_o i_o be_v confident_a be_v true_a yet_o i_o think_v i_o do_v not_o well_o to_o cherish_v their_o inordinate_a censoriousness_n in_o such_o

they_o call_v out_o for_o valiantness_n in_o suffer_v themselves_o and_o shall_v i_o be_v so_o cowardly_a as_o to_o fear_v their_o false_a report_n they_o cry_v out_o against_o the_o fear_n of_o man_n

of_o his_o froward_a child_n too_o great_a a_o matter_n to_o forsake_v and_o lose_v they_o themselves_o think_v that_o we_o shall_v rather_o suffer_v a_o prison_n or_o death_n then_o join_v with_o

account_n chap._n ii_o i_o must_v needs_o again_o remember_v the_o reader_n 1._o that_o the_o design_n of_o my_o book_n be_v not_o particular_a to_o reconcile_v man_n only_o to_o the_o parish_n church_n but_o universal_a against_o
those_o principle_n in_o man_n mind_n which_o cause_n division_n in_o all_o other_o church_n as_o well_o as_o that_o and_o will_v never_o suffer_v christian_n to_o unite_n and_o agree_v where_o they_o

the_o tithe_n and_o temple_n 11._o nor_o that_o a_o lawful_a faithful_a minister_n shall_v give_v over_o his_o ministerial_a work_n or_o not_o perform_v it_o to_o the_o best_a edificacation_n of_o the_o church_n whoever_o be_v displease_v by_o it_o or_o whatever_o it_o cost_v he_o which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v downright_a perfidiousness_n against_o his_o ordination_n and_o sacrilege_n as_o be_v the_o alienation_n of_o a_o devote_a consecrate_a person_n yea_o great_a sacrilege_n than_o alienate_a church_n land_n 12._o nor_o do_v i_o persuade_v any_o minister_n that_o instead_o of_o fly_v to_o another_o city_n as_o christ_n once_o command_v he_o must_v needs_o fly_v from_o all_o city_n for_o the_o diocesan_n that_o think_v city_n only_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o church_n and_o bishop_n may_v infer_v that_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o desert_v the_o soul_n of_o all_o in_o city_n and_o corporation_n it_o be_v but_o a_o little_a step_n far_o to_o d●sert_n the_o village_n also_o 13._o nor_o do_v i_o ever_o persuade_v any_o minister_n to_o go_v to_o a_o parish_n church_n in_o city_n or_o corporation_n who_o be_v by_o law_n forbid_v to_o come_v within_o five_o mile_n of_o it_o and_o who_o by_o appear_v there_o do_v put_v himself_o into_o prison_n for_o six_o month_n in_o the_o common_a jail_n 14._o nor_o do_v i_o ever_o persuade_v any_o to_o hear_v the_o common_a prayer_n or_o go_v
