come_v nigh_a queen_n mary_fw-mi papist_n and_o that_o both_o in_o their_o religion_n and_o in_o their_o civil_a notion_n as_o to_o their_o religion_n if_o you_o will_v see_v a_o queen_n elizabeth_n

church_n in_o the_o queen_n majesty_n dominion_n may_v be_v serve_v with_o pastor_n of_o sound_a religion_n they_o enact_v that_o every_o person_n under_o the_o degree_n of_o a_o bishop_n that_o shall_v pretend_v to_o be_v a_o minister_n by_o reason_n of_o any_o other_o form_n of_o institution_n consecration_n or_o ordination_n than_o what_o be_v enjoin_v by_o parliament_n in_o the_o day_n of_o king_n edward_n the_o 6_o or_o be_v then_o in_o use_n shall_v declare_v his_o assent_n and_o subscribe_v to_o all_o the_o article_n of_o religion_n which_o only_o concern_v the_o confession_n

be_v what_o it_o will_v and_o their_o esteem_n for_o ceremony_n what_o it_o will_v so_o they_o will_v but_o subscribe_v and_o assent_v to_o those_o article_n of_o religion_n that_o only_o concern_v the_o confession_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sacrament_n they_o judge_v they_o of_o a_o sound_a religion_n and_o fit_a to_o be_v pastor_n of_o our_o church_n which_o i_o doubt_v these_o our_o hotspur_n will_v judge_v fit_a for_o a_o goal_n if_o not_o the_o gallow_n by_o which_o you_o see_v that_o queen_n elizabeth_n protestant_n judge_v it_o their_o duty_n to_o open_v the_o church_n door_n as_o wide_a as_o may_v be_v to_o let_v honest_a and_o sound_a minister_n in_o and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o mode_n of_o our_o time_n and_o these_o protestant_n here_o of_o we_o bar_v the_o door_n up_o by_o their_o law_n to_o keep_v they_o out_o if_o they_o declare_v their_o assent_n to_o the_o faith_n and_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n only_o you_o see_v she_o protestant_n admit_v they_o and_o will_v not_o keep_v they_o out_o because_o they_o can_v not_o consent_v and_o conform_v to_o the_o ceremony_n thereof_o no_o they_o will_v not_o rob_v and_o deprive_v the_o church_n of_o god_n of_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n nor_o of_o the_o help_n use_v and_o service_n of_o so_o many_o sound_n and_o able_a pastor_n that_o be_v orthodox_n in_o their_o faith_n because_o they_o can_v not_o comply_v with_o a_o few_o i_o will_v not_o call_v they_o idle_a and_o useless_a but_o i_o be_o sure_a very_o unhappy_a ceremony_n so_o that_o by_o this_o you_o may_v see_v how_o much_o our_o rigid_a churchman_n be_v out_o in_o their_o religious_a measure_n in_o boast_v themselves_o for_o queen_n elizabeth_n protestant_n nor_o will_v you_o find_v they_o less_o different_a

extreme_o like_a to_o what_o we_o be_v now_o for_o the_o papist_n see_v that_o they_o can_v not_o carry_v back_o the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o rome_n unless_o they_o can_v cut_v she_o off_o and_o therefore_o all_o their_o plot_n and_o design_n be_v calculate_v against_o her_o life_n then_o as_o they_o be_v against_o his_o majesty_n now_o only_o she_o be_v bless_v with_o a_o thorough_a belief_n of_o their_o villainy_n so_o that_o she_o be_v save_v by_o faith_n even_o as_o to_o her_o natural_a life_n now_o her_o protestant_n perceive_v there_o be_v no_o end_n of_o their_o plot_n and_o that_o first_o or_o last_o they_o will_v have_v her_o life_n and_o there_o withal_o destroy_v the_o protestant_a religion_n also_o if_o by_o some_o extraordinary_a act_n they_o do_v not_o prevent_v it_o they_o do_v by_o a_o universal_a agreement_n enter_v into_o a_o association_n by_o which_o they_o mutual_o engage_v themselves_o to_o repair_v to_o their_o arm_n and_o stand_v by_o and_o assist_v

they_o oblige_v themselves_o to_o one_o another_o that_o when_o ever_o the_o queen_n fall_v they_o will_v all_o shall_fw-mi on_o the_o papist_n and_o revenge_v her_o death_n upon_o they_o and_o this_o put_v a_o present_a end_n to_o all_o their_o plot_n and_o design_n against_o she_o for_o ever_o for_o when_o they_o see_v the_o people_n be_v come_v to_o a_o point_n and_o that_o conspire_v against_o the_o queen_n life_n be_v but_o conspire_v against_o their_o own_o life_n they_o have_v do_v with_o their_o plotting_n and_o can_v live_v quiet_a like_o other_o people_n all_o the_o remain_a part_n of_o her_o life_n this_o extraordinary_a act_n queen_n elizabeth_n protestant_n do_v of_o themselves_o and_o in_o a_o interval_n of_o parliament_n and_o that_o age_n be_v so_o far_o from_o condemn_v it_o as_o any_o way_n factious_a seditious_a or_o rebellious_a that_o she_o herself_o in_o the_o very_a next_o parliament_n which_o be_v hold_v in_o vicessimo_fw-la septimo_fw-la of_o her_o reign_n

this_o point_n of_o civil_a right_n i_o doubt_v you_o will_v find_v they_o as_o unlike_o she_o protestant_n as_o but_o now_o you_o do_v in_o their_o religion_n for_o how_o barbarous_o do_v they_o clamour_v every_o where_n against_o their_o fellow_n protestant_n the_o other_o day_n but_o for_o carry_v on_o a_o modest_a and_o harmless_a petition_n for_o the_o parliament_n sit_v and_o how_o do_v they_o be_v rogue_n and_o be_v rebel_v all_o those_o worthy_a gentleman_n that_o either_o promote_v or_o countenance_v it_o how_o then_o will_v they_o have_v bellow_v and_o roar_v if_o they_o have_v enter_v into_o such_o a_o honest_a association_n as_o you_o see_v queen_n elizabeth_n protestant_n do_v wherefore_o take_v the_o reproof_n home_o to_o yourselves_o and_o do_v not_o boast_v your_o

thus_o much_o for_o reproof_n come_v we_o now_o to_o caution_n 2_o be_v it_o so_o that_o wicked_a man_n be_v plotter_n and_o the_o only_a plotter_n the_o world_n have_v in_o it_o then_o first_o be_v cautious_a of_o their_o company_n lay_v hold_v on_o all_o occasion_n to_o shun_v and_o avoid_v it_o and_o say_v with_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n gen._n 49.6_o o_o my_o soul_n come_v not_o thou_o into_o their_o secret_n unto_o their_o assembly_n my_o honour_n be_v not_o thou_o unite_v and_o think_v with_o he_o that_o the_o safety_n of_o your_o honour_n nay_o your_o very_a soul_n lie_v in_o decline_v

speak_v they_o deal_v by_o you_o as_o they_o do_v by_o the_o royal_a prophet_n psal_n 56.5_o every_o day_n say_v he_o they_o wrest_v my_o word_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a for_o you_o to_o comport_v yourselves_o in_o wicked_a company_n for_o either_o you_o will_v speak_v too_o much_o to_o please_v they_o or_o too_o little_a to_o please_v yourselves_o and_o if_o you_o be_v silent_a and_o

the_o psalmist_n to_o keep_v agreeable_a company_n for_o he_o profess_v to_o god_n almighty_a that_o he_o be_v a_o companion_n to_o all_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o of_o they_o that_o keep_v

in_o a_o more_o and_o especial_a manner_n seasonable_a at_o this_o juncture_n first_o it_o will_v enable_v we_o to_o have_v more_o tender_a thought_n for_o dissent_v protestant_n second_o it_o will_v enable_v we_o to_o see_v more_o clear_o through_o all_o the_o art_n of_o our_o profess_a enemy_n first_o it_o will_v enable_v we_o to_o have_v more_o tender_a thought_n of_o dissent_v protestant_n because_o when_o we_o come_v to_o judge_n right_o of_o thing_n we_o shall_v come_v to_o see_v the_o humanum_fw-la est_fw-la orrare_fw-la and_o that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v subject_a to_o mistake_n that_o we_o shall_v bear_v with_o and_o forgive_v that_o in_o other_o which_o we_o will_v have_v bear_v and_o forgive_v in_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o government_n and_o dominion_n of_o the_o conscience_n belong_v only_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o to_o we_o and_o that_o in_o that_o respect_n they_o be_v another_o servant_n and_o not_o we_o and_o that_o to_o their_o own_o master_n they_o must_v stand_v or_o fall_v we_o shall_v then_o see_v that_o if_o we_o exercise_v any_o other_o course_n on_o the_o conscience_n than_o prayer_n persuasion_n find_v reason_n and_o evangelical_n mean_v and_o argument_n we_o leave_v the_o gospel_n amicable_a artillery_n and_o go_v to_o the_o devil_n armoury_n for_o force_n and_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o satan_n strength_n to_o support_v it_o we_o shall_v then_o clear_o see_v that_o we_o do_v but_o justify_v the_o papist_n practise_v upon_o we_o by_o our_o practice_n on_o our_o fellow-protestants_a for_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n and_o on_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o we_o force_v these_o to_o conform_v to_o we_o may_v they_o force_v we_o to_o conform_v to_o they_o for_o if_o we_o will_v be_v judge_n of_o our_o dissent_v friend_n conscience_n in_o their_o little_a separation_n from_o we_o why_o shall_v not_o the_o papist_n be_v judge_n of_o our_o conscience_n in_o our_o great_a separation_n from_o they_o wherefore_o our_o judge_a right_o of_o thing_n will_v teach_v we_o this_o tenderness_n and_o that_o condescend_v temper_n and_o comportment_n that_o be_v in_o abraham_n to_o lot_n gen._n 13.8_o let_v there_o be_v no_o strife_n i_o pray_v thou_o say_v abraham_n between_o thou_o and_o i_o for_o we_o be_v brethren_n we_o shall_v then_o see_v that_o the_o papist_n rage_n be_v equal_a if_o not_o exceed_v to_o they_o as_o to_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o the_o right_n judge_v of_o thing_n will_v help_v we_o to_o argue_v thus_o what_o do_v it_o become_v we_o to_o weaken_v ourselves_o and_o cut_v off_o our_o own_o strength_n we_o the_o while_o we_o have_v our_o dissent_v friend_n with_o we_o have_v work_n enough_o to_o stem_v the_o tide_n and_o keep_v out_o popery_n do_v it_o become_v we_o to_o deprive_v ourselves_o of_o the_o one_o half_a at_o least_o of_o our_o friend_n by_o fall_v foul_a with_o our_o dissent_v brethren_n god_n forbid_v in_o the_o 9th_o of_o st._n mark_n and_o the_o 88th_o verse_n you_o will_v find_v st._n john_n give_v a_o account_n to_o christ_n of_o a_o somewhat_o singular_a and_o pecullar_a passage_n and_o our_o

the_o lord_n answer_v in_o the_o two_o follow_a verse_n but_o jesus_n say_v forbid_v he_o not_o for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n which_o shall_v do_v a_o miracle_n in_o my_o name_n that_o can_v light_o speak_v evil_a of_o i_o for_o he_o that_o be_v not_o against_o we_o be_v on_o our_o part_n learn_v now_o from_o this_o answer_n of_o our_o lord_n your_o own_o duty_n what_o do_v you_o see_v man_n busy_a in_o cast_v out_o devil_n and_o cast_v out_o devil_n too_o in_o christ_n name_n engage_v in_o the_o selfsame_a work_n that_o you_o be_v engage_v in_o and_o will_v you_o forbid_v they_o god_n forbid_v and_o remember_v this_o command_n of_o christ_n forbid_v they_o not_o ay_o but_o they_o do_v not_o follow_v we_o what_o of_o that_o they_o be_v on_o our_o part_n they_o be_v of_o our_o side_n still_o for_o all_o that_o therefore_o forbid_v they_o not_o as_o if_o our_o lord_n have_v say_v what_o will_v you_o lessen_v your_o own_o party_n will_v you_o fall_v upon_o your_o own_o side_n because_o they_o do_v not_o follow_v you_o in_o every_o thing_n when_o they_o be_v do_v the_o great_a work_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o you_o yourselves_o be_v do_v your_o dispossess_v man_n and_o cast_v out_o of_o devil_n god_n forbid_v well_o then_o shall_v we_o suffer_v the_o papist_n to_o persuade_v we_o against_o this_o command_n of_o christ_n to_o destroy_v our_o own_o party_n our_o fellow_n protestant_n because_o in_o every_o punctilio_fw-la they_o follow_v not_o we_o that_o thereby_o we_o may_v weaken_v our_o own_o side_n and_o strengthen_v they_o god_n forbid_v a_o right_a judgement_n of_o thing_n will_v enable_v we_o to_o reason_n thus_o why_o will_v the_o papist_n have_v we_o persecute_v the_o presbyterian_o but_o because_o they_o be_v protestant_n why_o will_v they_o sharpen_v and_o keen_a our_o rage_n against_o dissenter_n but_o because_o they_o be_v protestant_n will_v they_o ever_o desire_v their_o destruction_n with_o that_o eagerness_n that_o they_o do_v but_o because_o they_o be_v protestant_n well_o then_o if_o the_o papist_n desire_v their_o destruction_n as_o protestant_n ought_v not_o we_o desire_v and_o endeavour_v their_o preservation_n as_o protestant_n if_o the_o papist_n will_v ruin_v they_o as_o a_o part_n of_o the_o protestant_a interest_n nay_o and_o if_o i_o may_v speak_v it_o without_o offence_n as_o the_o tight_a and_o brisk_v part_n of_o the_o protestant_a interest_n ought_v we_o not_o as_o such_o to_o endeavour_v the_o preservation_n and_o to_o give_v they_o all_o the_o demonstration_n that_o can_v be_v that_o we_o have_v lay_v aside_o those_o little_a foolish_a prejudices_fw-la that_o the_o craft_n of_o our_o enemy_n and_o our_o own_o heat_n and_o inadvertency_n have_v put_v upon_o we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v now_o return_v to_o some_o sobriety_n and_o do_v clear_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o one_o argument_n that_o either_o the_o papist_n or_o ourselves_o can_v bring_v for_o our_o persecute_v our_o

that_o our_o judge_a right_o of_o thing_n work_n in_o our_o mind_n more_o tender_a thought_n for_o our_o dissent_v proestant_o second_o as_o our_o judge_v right_o of_o thing_n do_v enable_v we_o to_o
