arrow_n without_o a_o head_n know_v i_o say_v that_o you_o be_v like_a to_o feel_v a_o penalty_n for_o your_o neglect_n you_o which_o be_v resolve_v it_o seem_v to_o try_v the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o that_o honourable_a assembly_n and_o will_v needs_o see_v what_o they_o can_v do_v let_v i_o warn_v you_o that_o there_o may_v be_v such_o a_o sting_n in_o the_o end_n of_o this_o your_o contempt_n upon_o certificate_n thereof_o as_o may_v pierce_v through_o your_o belove_a estate_n even_o in_o this_o world_n beside_o that_o other_o sting_n of_o conscience_n which_o may_v for_o

concern_v some_o of_o these_o particular_n whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a and_o fit_a by_o god_n word_n to_o abolish_v they_o and_o have_v you_o more_o wisdom_n to_o judge_v of_o such_o scruple_n or_o more_o conscience_n to_o stick_v at_o they_o than_o have_v that_o great_a answ_n 1_o grave_n religious_a assembly_n which_o have_v enjoin_v this_o abolition_n or_o then_o all_o the_o reform_a church_n in_o the_o world_n which_o have_v long_o since_o abolish_v those_o remainder_n as_o superstitious_a and_o popish_a it_o be_v well_o if_o that_o conscience_n of_o you_o do_v also_o stick_v at_o other_o

but_o to_o descend_v to_o particular_n answ_n 2_o where_o be_v it_o i_o pray_v you_o that_o your_o conscience_n do_v stick_v so_o tender_o what_o 1._o be_v it_o at_o remove_v the_o communion_n table_n

the_o second_o commandment_n and_o it_o be_v too_o well_o like_a unto_o that_o which_o be_v call_v the_o great_a abomination_n by_o god_n to_o ezekiel_n 16_o ezek._n 8.15_o 16_o or_o what_o else_o be_v it_o corporal_a bow_v at_o the_o name_n jesus_n yes_o here_o be_v the_o scruple_n and_o why_o because_o forsooth_o the_o scripture_n command_v it_o that_o at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n every_o

mis-sencing_a and_o a_o absurdity_n 1._o a_o mis-englishing_a for_o how_o come_v the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o the_o original_a to_o be_v translate_v at_o whereas_o it_o do_v

matthew_n lord_n 22._o mat._n 7._o v._n 22._o lord_n have_v we_o not_o prophesy_v at_o thy_o name_n and_z at_o thy_o name_n cast_v out_o devil_n etc._n etc._n 2._o there_o be_v a_o mis-sencing_a of_o that_o word_n name_n the_o name_n of_o jesus_n for_o who_o know_v not_o that_o in_o scripture_n by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n or_o of_o any_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v common_o mean_v their_o

the_o three_o by_o take_v god_n name_n in_o vain_a but_o 3._o there_o be_v also_o a_o absurdity_n in_o their_o read_n of_o that_o verse_n of_o s._n paul_n for_o what_o knee_n have_v angel_n good_a and_o evil_a how_o can_v bird_n beast_n and_o fish_n bow_v the_o knee_n corporal_o and_o therefore_o some_o of_o the_o wise_a of_o that_o tribe_n of_o word-worshipper_n have_v give_v over_o this_o text_n as_o improper_a for_o their_o purpose_n and_o do_v fly_v to_o a_o ancient_a and_o laudable_a custom_n to_o hold_v by_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v 1._o antiquity_n without_o verity_n be_v but_o a_o inveterate_a error_n 2._o and_o this_o be_v but_o a_o humane_a invention_n how_o can_v it_o be_v true_a and_o pure_a worship_n that_o be_v enough_o to_o satisfy_v your_o conscience_n and_o now_o the_o same_o staff_n be_v in_o my_o hand_n yea_o let_v i_o press_v it_o upon_o your_o conscience_n if_o they_o be_v so_o tender_a and_o charge_v you_o to_o give_v over_o your_o unwarrantable_a devise_v and_o partial_a worship_n of_o god_n i_o call_v it_o partial_a both_o because_o it_o seem_v to_o give_v more_o honour_n to_o the_o second_o person_n then_o to_o the_o rest_n and_o in_o the_o second_o person_n it_o bestow_v more_o worship_n upon_o one_o name_n of_o his_o then_o upon_o another_o thus_o as_o i_o conceive_v all_o colourable_a objection_n and_o pretence_n be_v quite_o blow_v

and_o bless_a a_o court_n though_o press_v so_o earnest_o with_o reason_n and_o scripture_n by_o our_o faithful_a pastor_n yet_o this_o order_n i_o say_v still_o be_v neglect_v in_o most_o church_n whole_o in_o other_o partial_o even_o in_o despite_n of_o god_n governor_n and_o minister_n the_o picture_n in_o the_o window_n do_v still_o outface_v we_o in_o our_o pulpit_n the_o rail_n or_o

they_o be_v whole_o put_v down_o in_o other_o partly_o beside_o that_o the_o set_n up_o of_o more_o be_v either_o deny_v or_o supplant_v yea_o in_o those_o place_n where_o the_o enemy_n of_o light_n have_v not_o the_o face_n or_o power_n utter_o to_o suppress_v lecture_n yet_o there_o they_o will_v quarter_v they_o yea_o double_o and_o triple_o quarter_v they_o four_o eight_o twelve_o man_n in_o

they_o be_v as_o wander_a planet_n or_o comet_n rather_o and_o do_v as_o they_o think_v cast_v a_o dangerous_a influence_n upon_o their_o tribe_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v extinguish_v hence_o the_o very_a name_n of_o lecturer_n be_v become_v to_o some_o churchman_n both_o ridiculous_a and_o odious_a yea_o as_o these_o many_o petitioner_n against_o episcopacy_n from_o ireland_n do_v

able_o faithful_o and_o fruitful_o that_o yet_o this_o man_n shall_v have_v no_o foot_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n this_o make_v i_o to_o wonder_v far_o what_o a_o church_n of_o england_n these_o rabbi_n will_v make_v such_o a_o church_n it_o seem_v it_o must_v be_v as_o do_v exclude_v and_o dismember_v those_o minister_n which_o be_v too_o very_a preacher_n in_o a_o word_n you_o
