other_o reason_n i_o can_v add_v but_o because_o the_o author_n of_o the_o caution_n against_o inconsistency_n have_v clear_o prove_v that_o those_o who_o think_v the_o oath_n unlawful_a ought_v for_o

though_o personal_a fail_n of_o any_o man_n be_v not_o a_o good_a warrant_n to_o other_o to_o abstain_v from_o communion_n whether_o nevertheless_o the_o teach_v preach_a and_o maintain_v immorality_n and_o opinion_n destructive_a of_o christian_a practice_n may_v not_o as_o well_o justify_v a_o separation_n from_o such_o as_o error_n in_o the_o faith_n for_o though_o our_o adversary_n do_v not_o say_v that_o perjury_n be_v lawful_a yet_o they_o argue_v upon_o such_o principle_n as_o if_o there_o can_v hardly_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n they_o make_v oath_n to_o be_v no_o security_n to_o any_o

my_o argument_n he_o sum_v up_o thus_o that_o be_v they_o i._n e._n the_o clergy_n receive_v their_o authority_n from_o god_n no_o civil_a power_n can_v disable_v they_o from_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o duty_n and_o if_o it_o do_v they_o be_v bind_v to_o quit_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n where_o so_o disable_v now_o i_o be_v so_o far_o from_o simple_o assert_v that_o the_o civil_a power_n can_v disable_v they_o from_o exercise_v their_o function_n that_o i_o there_o instance_a in_o case_n where_o they_o lawful_o may_v but_o as_o he_o have_v word_v it_o he_o confute_v himself_o for_o if_o they_o exercise_v only_o as_o he_o call_v it_o their_o duty_n it_o be_v certain_a no_o civil_a power_n lawful_o can_v disable_v they_o from_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o and_o if_o he_o grant_v it_o their_o duty_n in_o that_o case_n he_o justify_v they_o for_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v hinder_v from_o discharge_v his_o duty_n nor_o do_v i_o say_v that_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o quit_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n where_o so_o disable_v for_o the_o church_n may_v own_v they_o when_o the_o state_n disallow_v they_o i_o say_v in_o such_o case_n of_o unjust_a deprivation_n they_o may_v exercise_v their_o office_n at_o their_o peril_n which_o either_o may_v be_v do_v in_o the_o church_n or_o in_o separation_n from_o that_o particular_a church_n according_a as_o the_o doctrine_n there_o teach_v and_o the_o term_n of_o communion_n in_o it_o stand_v the_o argument_n be_v thus_o false_o represent_v he_o answer_v it_o with_o question_n the_o method_n i_o suppose_v be_v new_a and_o he_o a_o man_n in_o fashion_n the_o first_o be_v this_o whether_o a_o bishop_n due_o consecrate_a or_o a_o minister_n due_o ordain_v may_v not_o be_v lawful_o suspend_v and_o deprive_v from_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o office_n by_o the_o secular_a power_n wh●re_v there_o be_v sufficient_a reason_n for_o it_o now_o this_o question_n plain_o answer_v itself_o for_o i_o think_v any_o thing_n may_v be_v do_v for_o which_o there_o be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n and_o he_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a heart_a man_n who_o will_v not_o allow_v he_o this_o but_o then_o there_o be_v other_o question_n to_o be_v ask_v viz._n what_o be_v in_o such_o case_n a_o sufficient_a reason_n whether_o there_o be_v sufficient_a reason_n in_o this_o particular_a case_n and_o last_o if_o he_o please_v whether_o no_o authority_n in_o the_o depriver_n and_o no_o crime_n as_o to_o they_o in_o the_o deprive_v be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n for_o suspension_n or_o deprivation_n it_o be_v a_o odd_a way_n of_o answer_v a_o man_n in_o a_o particular_a case_n to_o float_v in_o general_n and_o keep_v as_o far_o from_o the_o question_n as_o may_v be_v but_o perhaps_o he_o will_v mend_v that_o anon_o at_o present_a we_o must_v attend_v to_o the_o solution_n of_o his_o question_n which_o in_o his_o singular_a way_n he_o perform_v by_o recite_v two_o objection_n and_o as_o many_o answer_n to_o they_o from_o mr._n mason_n and_o to_o make_v short_a work_n i_o will_v grant_v he_o all_o that_o mason_n say_v where_o there_o be_v as_o our_o author_n call_v it_o a_o sufficient_a reason_n for_o so_o do_v and_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v not_o have_v it_o do_v without_o or_o against_o reason_n and_o so_o pass_v by_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n which_o he_o have_v leave_v i_o to_o peruse_v at_o leisure_n till_o i_o have_v more_o spare_a time_n i_o will_v direct_o come_v to_o his_o second_o question_n and_o try_v whether_o he_o have_v any_o better_a fortune_n there_o he_o be_v not_o agree_v with_o himself_o how_o he_o shall_v word_n his_o second_o question_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v set_v down_o that_o where_o he_o express_v himself_o most_o at_o large_a and_o maintain_v the_o afirmative_a whether_o it_o may_v not_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o secular_a power_n to_o deprive_v person_n in_o order_n for_o crime_n commit_v against_o the_o state_n and_o particular_o upon_o refusal_n to_o give_v security_n to_o the_o government_n for_o their_o peaceable_a behaviour_n and_o allegiance_n by_o oath_n this_o he_o affirm_v and_o he_o say_v i_o express_o deny_v which_o be_v express_o false_a as_o may_v appear_v from_o those_o very_a word_n of_o i_o which_o he_o have_v cite_v to_o prove_v his_o assertion_n for_o there_o i_o do_v allow_v a_o deprivation_n by_o the_o secular_a power_n where_o either_o the_o just_a censure_n of_o the_o church_n have_v pass_v on_o any_o or_o they_o do_v merit_v deposition_n and_o that_o i_o think_v they_o may_v do_v though_o a_o censure_n be_v not_o actual_o pass_v upon_o they_o but_o if_o you_o will_v have_v the_o deprivation_n valid_a even_o to_o their_o acquiescence_n where_o the_o secular_a power_n or_o that_o which_o call_v itself_o a_o secular_a power_n say_v that_o a_o crime_n be_v commit_v against_o it_o you_o must_v not_o only_o justify_v queen_n mary_n in_o deprive_v edward_n the_o sixth_n bishop_n but_o you_o must_v condemn_v those_o deprive_a bishop_n for_o make_v a_o schism_n and_o not_o join_v in_o communion_n as_o layman_n i._n e._n that_o they_o do_v not_o turn_v papist_n but_o let_v we_o examine_v his_o defence_n i_o answer_v say_v he_o with_o mason_n where_o be_v the_o act_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o deposition_n of_o ablathar_n and_o where_o be_v the_o ecclesiastical_a crime_n he_o be_v charge_v with_o do_v mason_n then_o use_v thus_o to_o answer_v with_o question_n but_o your_o question_n shall_v have_v answer_n however_o and_o first_o i_o think_v it_o not_o very_o clear_a whether_o the_o jewish_a church_n do_v afford_v so_o sufficient_a a_o ecclesiastical_a remedy_n against_o their_o criminal_a high_a priest_n as_o the_o christian_a church_n do_v against_o criminal_a bishop_n and_o if_o so_o than_o it_o be_v altogether_o necessary_a both_o for_o church_n and_o state_n that_o their_o king_n who_o be_v of_o god_n own_o appointment_n and_o something_o more_o than_o a_o mere_a secular_a person_n shall_v interpose_v his_o authority_n without_o any_o deference_n to_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n second_o you_o may_v inquire_v but_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o neither_o you_o nor_o i_o can_v certain_o tell_v whether_o abiathar_n be_v censure_v by_o the_o sanhedrim_n or_o not_o for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o record_v that_o he_o be_v so_o neither_o be_v it_o that_o he_o be_v not_o three_o though_o it_o be_v very_o convenient_a in_o itself_o agreeable_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o church_n and_o make_v much_o for_o the_o peace_n both_o of_o church_n and_o state_n that_o christian_a king_n in_o punish_v ecclesiastic_n will_v take_v the_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n along_o with_o they_o which_o will_v make_v the_o condemnation_n of_o such_o person_n more_o terrible_a and_o notorious_a yet_o if_o the_o clergy_n shall_v refuse_v as_o it_o will_v be_v their_o fault_n so_o it_o do_v not_o hinder_v the_o secular_a power_n to_o punish_v offender_n according_a to_o justice_n but_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o will_v do_v he_o no_o service_n because_o there_o be_v case_n wherein_o ecclesiastic_n deprive_v by_o even_o a_o lawful_a secular_a power_n may_v yet_o remain_v oblige_v to_o execute_v their_o commission_n from_o christ_n though_o at_o their_o peril_n or_o else_o the_o apostle_n and_o primitive_a bishop_n must_v be_v condemn_v and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v much_o more_o lawful_a when_o for_o adhere_v to_o right_n they_o be_v deprive_v only_o by_o a_o pretend_a power_n but_o i_o suppose_v this_o virtuoso_fw-la will_v say_v that_o jehojada_n have_v be_v bind_v to_o leave_v of_o all_o care_n of_o discharge_v his_o duty_n of_o high_a priest_n if_o athaliah_n have_v deprive_v he_o as_o to_o his_o second_o question_n where_o be_v the_o ecclesiastical_a crime_n abiathar_n be_v charge_v with_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o i_o speak_v of_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n yet_o i_o do_v never_o limit_v the_o matter_n to_o pure_a ecclesiastical_a crime_n nor_o have_v i_o that_o i_o can_v remember_v so_o much_o as_o use_v that_o phrase_n for_o the_o church_n may_v censure_v whatsoever_o be_v contra_fw-la bonos_fw-es more_o be_v though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o secular_a power_n punish_v it_o as_o a_o
wait_v and_o endeavour_v from_o hence_o i_o think_v it_o do_v appear_v that_o it_o be_v a_o rule_v case_n in_o the_o church_n that_o if_o any_o person_n do_v come_v into_o any_o other_o than_o a_o vacant_a see_v and_o claim_v there_o as_o direct_v and_o proper_a bishop_n as_o novatianus_n do_v against_o cornelius_n both_o he_o and_o all_o his_o adherent_n be_v adjudge_v schismatic_n as_o to_o a_o vacancy_n i_o be_o still_o of_o the_o same_o mind_n and_o if_o our_o author_n will_v have_v i_o change_v it_o he_o will_v soon_o have_v prevail_v with_o i_o by_o argument_n than_o threaten_n i_o have_v serious_o think_v on_o it_o and_o can_v yet_o imagine_v how_o a_o vacancy_n can_v be_v but_o one_o of_o these_o three_o way_n either_o god_n must_v make_v the_o see_v void_a by_o his_o death_n or_o a_o lawful_a authority_n make_v it_o void_a by_o a_o lawful_a deposition_n or_o he_o himself_o make_v it_o void_a by_o his_o renunciation_n for_o the_o last_o of_o these_o i_o perceive_v our_o author_n have_v a_o present_a kindness_n but_o how_o long_o it_o may_v hold_v i_o know_v not_o for_o when_o other_o have_v take_v away_o their_o estate_n he_o in_o a_o pretty_a sly_a way_n persuade_v they_o to_o mend_v the_o matter_n by_o renounce_v their_o order_n and_o i_o believe_v with_o much_o the_o same_o design_n that_o the_o fox_n praise_v the_o cock_n for_o a_o excellent_a singer_n that_o while_o he_o shut_v his_o eye_n as_o he_o crow_v reynard_n may_v have_v the_o opportunity_n to_o run_v in_o upon_o he_o and_o make_v a_o prey_n of_o he_o as_o to_o the_o second_o way_n which_o be_v

that_o the_o secular_a power_n can_v unmake_v a_o bishop_n which_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n can_v as_o to_o they_o come_v up_o to_o our_o case_n i_o still_o peremptory_o deny_v and_o let_v our_o

of_o the_o council_n of_o carthage_n you_o may_v see_v what_o horror_n the_o bishop_n express_v in_o the_o case_n of_o quedvultdeus_n of_o depose_v a_o bishop_n before_o his_o cause_n have_v a_o

for_o otherwise_o all_o the_o rest_n fail_v next_o he_o tax_v i_o as_o have_v either_o a_o bad_a memory_n or_o a_o very_a bad_a conscience_n for_o say_v that_o his_o author_n have_v not_o prove_v

shall_v sing_v a_o song_n in_o their_o ear_n and_o make_v their_o heart_n ache_v but_o before_o he_o can_v come_v to_o the_o matter_n this_o learned_a author_n in_o romance_n not_o be_v able_a to_o

that_o somebody_o be_v it_o seem_v we_o be_v not_o yet_o agree_v for_o he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o a_o personal_a good_a and_o yet_o if_o it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o person_n i_o be_o afraid_a it_o will_v prove_v good_a for_o no_o body_n if_o he_o have_v please_v he_o may_v have_v observe_v that_o i_o call_v the_o public_a good_a a_o personal_a good_a not_o with_o reference_n to_o man_n private_a separate_a interest_n in_o detriment_n of_o the_o rest_n but_o with_o respect_n to_o they_o as_o person_n in_o society_n and_o doubtless_o public_a good_a be_v in_o its_o high_a exaltation_n when_o it_o be_v diffusive_a to_o all_o but_o yet_o in_o some_o case_n particular_a person_n or_o party_n may_v and_o must_v suffer_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o community_n and_o this_o i_o fair_o own_v and_o if_o he_o will_v not_o see_v it_o i_o can_v help_v it_o but_o to_o argue_v as_o if_o i_o disown_v any_o such_o thing_n be_v very_o disingenuous_a but_o if_o there_o may_v be_v some_o case_n wherein_o it_o may_v be_v the_o glory_n of_o some_o to_o suffer_v yet_o will_v this_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v the_o public_a good_a for_o some_o man_n to_o raise_v their_o fortune_n upon_o the_o ruin_n of_o their_o country_n i_o think_v he_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o set_v his_o house_n on_o sire_n on_o purpose_n that_o three_o or_o four_o thief_n may_v have_v the_o opportunity_n to_o run_v away_o with_o the_o best_a of_o his_o good_n i_o know_v not_o better_a how_o to_o compare_v the_o public_a good_a of_o a_o community_n than_o to_o the_o safety_n of_o a_o human_a body_n when_o every_o part_n and_o member_n be_v right_a sound_a and_o well_o dispose_v and_o out_o of_o danger_n it_o be_v certain_o then_o best_a with_o it_o but_o if_o a_o

herein_o the_o arm_n have_v no_o injustice_n from_o the_o head_n or_o body_n though_o it_o have_v from_o the_o external_a enemy_n because_o the_o use_n of_o it_o in_o such_o case_n be_v to_o defend_v

all_o hazard_n must_v be_v run_v for_o nothing_o can_v warrant_n the_o cut_n off_o the_o head_n or_o pull_v out_o the_o heart_n here_o the_o whole_a unavoidable_o must_v follow_v the_o fate_n of_o
