it_o do_v not_o follow_v hence_o that_o episcopacy_n and_o presbytery_n stand_v upon_o equal_a term_n and_o though_o both_o proceed_n upon_o the_o same_o supposition_n do_v equal_o complain_v yet_o that_o part_n which_o real_o suffer_v wrong_v do_v just_o complain_v and_o if_o he_o please_v now_o to_o set_v his_o table_n right_a again_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o he_o will_v give_v it_o on_o the_o episcopal_a side_n but_o there_o be_v something_o far_o for_o which_o the_o presbyterian_a my_o just_o complain_v though_o this_o author_n have_v cast_v such_o a_o mist_n before_o his_o own_o eye_n that_o he_o can_v not_o see_v it_o for_o the_o presbyterian_a in_o the_o general_a notion_n assert_v a_o great_a truth_n and_o it_o be_v not_o his_o fault_n that_o he_o plead_v a_o divine_a right_n of_o church_n government_n but_o that_o he_o take_v it_o out_o of_o those_o hand_n wherein_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n leave_v it_o to_o commit_v to_o those_o to_o who_o it_o be_v never_o entrust_v and_o thus_o lick_v up_o aerius_n vomit_n now_o in_o this_o case_n mr._n lowth_n have_v prove_v the_o presbyterian_a concern_v as_o well_o as_o the_o episcoparian_a for_o when_o the_o author_n of_o the_o irenicum_fw-la to_o avoid_v the_o argument_n from_o the_o superiority_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o their_o jurisdiction_n over_o the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n by_o a_o act_n of_o christ_n have_v plead_v that_o it_o must_v be_v far_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v christ_n intention_n that_o superiority_n shall_v continue_v in_o their_o succession_n or_o it_o make_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n to_o this_o mr._n lowth_n reply_n that_o at_o this_o rate_n of_o argue_v though_o the_o apostle_n by_o a_o act_n of_o christ_n be_v invest_v with_o the_o ministerial_a authority_n yet_o it_o must_v be_v far_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v christ_n intention_n that_o the_o same_o power_n shall_v continue_v in_o their_o successor_n or_o it_o make_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o a_o settle_a ministry_n and_o the_o same_o argument_n which_o overthrow_v a_o superiority_n of_o churchman_n for_o want_v of_o a_o express_a of_o christ_n intention_n overthrow_v the_o very_a ministry_n itself_o both_o have_v the_o same_o bottom_n and_o alike_a promise_n and_o here_o the_o episcopal_a man_n be_v not_o leave_v alone_o to_o complain_v but_o the_o presbyterian_a may_v honest_o put_v in_o for_o a_o share_n and_o this_o indeed_o be_v a_o fatal_a argument_n for_o it_o overthrow_v the_o whole_a project_n of_o the_o irenicum_fw-la for_o if_o you_o well_o observe_v you_o will_v find_v the_o scheme_n of_o that_o author_n to_o lie_v thus_o he_o assert_v in_o general_a a_o divine_a right_n of_o government_n or_o that_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o christ_n that_o his_o church_n shall_v be_v govern_v one_o way_n or_o other_o but_o then_o as_o for_o any_o particular_a form_n of_o church_n government_n he_o do_v not_o think_v that_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n erect_v any_o with_o a_o obligation_n of_o its_o continuance_n but_o that_o it_o be_v leave_v to_o some_o body_n i_o know_v not_o who_o to_o establish_v the_o particular_a form_n according_a to_o the_o necessity_n convenience_n and_o circumstance_n of_o time_n place_n and_o person_n and_o from_o time_n to_o time_n to_o new_a mould_n and_o change_v the_o same_o as_o they_o shall_v find_v cause_n yet_o always_o contain_v themselves_o within_o the_o bound_n of_o what_o the_o author_n think_v lawful_a i_o grant_v that_o he_o be_v not_o always_o true_a to_o this_o but_o the_o whole_a work_n seem_v to_o be_v bottom_v upon_o this_o supposition_n and_o for_o his_o inconsistency_n he_o himself_o may_v take_v care_n of_o they_o now_o the_o argument_n here_o use_v have_v undo_v himself_o and_o be_v level_v not_o only_o against_o the_o divine_a right_n of_o any_o one_o particular_a form_n but_o against_o the_o divine_a right_n of_o a_o ministry_n and_o all_o church_n government_n whatsoever_o neither_o do_v i_o know_v to_o what_o purpose_n we_o shall_v wrangle_v whether_o the_o house_n shall_v be_v build_v in_o this_o or_o that_o form_n or_o shape_n when_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o we_o have_v any_o right_a or_o authority_n either_o to_o build_v any_o at_o all_o or_o to_o enter_v any_o former_o build_v and_o now_o let_v any_o man_n judge_n whether_o this_o be_v a_o effectual_a way_n of_o argue_v either_o for_o the_o re-establishment_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n or_o for_o man_n comply_v with_o it_o but_o though_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o prove_v what_o mr._n lowth_n have_v allege_v yet_o it_o be_v untrue_o say_v of_o the_o letter-maker_n that_o this_o be_v all_o for_o mr._n lowth_n have_v accuse_v the_o author_n of_o the_o irenicum_fw-la that_o notwithstanding_o his_o pretence_n of_o the_o mutability_n of_o church_n government_n he_o have_v invest_v the_o presbyter_n with_o the_o full_a power_n of_o order_n and_o

only_o i_o think_v this_o a_o very_a unlikely_a way_n of_o persuade_v the_o establishment_n of_o the_o church_n under_o bishop_n and_o leave_v you_o to_o judge_v let_v the_o author_n design_n be_v what_o it_o will_v whether_o the_o book_n do_v not_o carry_v on_o the_o design_n which_o mr._n lowth_n pretend_v i_o fear_v i_o grow_v troublesome_a to_o you_o but_o now_o my_o hand_n be_v in_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o follow_v this_o author_n to_o see_v if_o he_o have_v do_v the_o reverend_a dean_n any_o better_a service_n in_o the_o remain_a part_n of_o his_o letter_n and_o the_o next_o thing_n he_o fall_v on_o be_v the_o business_n of_o a_o recantation_n and_o here_o suppose_v what_o i_o have_v read_v in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o letter_n will_v have_v be_v of_o the_o same_o

out_o against_o but_o i_o be_v quite_o disappoint_v and_o he_o be_v clear_a too_o quick_a for_o we_o for_o he_o say_v that_o a_o recantation_n have_v be_v already_o make_v and_o that_o as_o public_a as_o the_o error_n scandal_n and_o offence_n and_o too_o before_o the_o demand_n be_v make_v this_o language_n i_o confess_v surprise_v i_o it_o seem_v then_o that_o mr._n lowth_n and_o the_o dean_n be_v agree_v and_o do_v not_o know_v it_o what_o pity_n be_v it_o that_o such_o a_o noise_n shall_v be_v make_v all_o over_o the_o kingdom_n and_o such_o disturbance_n among_o church_n of_o england_n man_n about_o a_o quarrel_n between_o two_o peason_n who_o be_v both_o become_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n but_o be_v it_o not_o a_o stark_a shame_n that_o when_o mr._n lowth_n be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v in_o the_o right_n and_o the_o dean_n have_v recee_v from_o his_o former_a tenet_n to_o come_v up_o to_o a_o opinion_n which_o mr._n lowth_n have_v always_o maintain_v he_o shall_v be_v revile_v and_o exclaim_v against_o in_o all_o place_n for_o this_o with_o as_o much_o fierceness_n and_o bitterness_n as_o if_o he_o have_v set_v the_o church_n on_o fire_n at_o least_o those_o who_o confess_v thus_o much_o aught_o to_o condemn_v the_o practice_n as_o unreasonable_a and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a i_o think_v the_o quarrel_n ought_v to_o be_v at_o a_o end_n but_o now_o i_o be_o afraid_a to_o read_v on_o least_o in_o look_v after_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v meet_v with_o a_o second_o disappointment_n and_o i_o find_v all_o to_o amount_v to_o little_o better_a than_o a_o mere_a say_v so_o and_o indeed_o much_o thus_o it_o happen_v for_o though_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o persuade_v myself_o that_o the_o learned_a dean_n be_v real_o and_o true_o of_o another_o mind_n and_o have_v quit_v many_o of_o the_o loose_a opinion_n of_o the_o rector_n of_o sutton_n yet_o this_o author_n be_v so_o unfortunate_a in_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o that_o he_o have_v do_v he_o no_o small_a

it_o be_v indeed_o only_a a_o scurvy_a palliation_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o i_o be_o sorry_a there_o to_o find_v this_o assertion_n that_o what_o proposal_n he_o make_v about_o temper_v episcopacy_n they_o be_v no_o other_o than_o what_o king_n charles_n one_a and_o mr._n thorndike_n have_v make_v before_o he_o how_o no_o
lowth_n seem_v to_o i_o a_o thing_n utter_o unaccountable_a but_o from_o the_o church_n abound_v with_o man_n of_o latitudinarian_a and_o erastian_n principle_n who_o be_v resolve_v to_o maintain_v the_o position_n of_o the_o rector_n of_o sutton_n though_o the_o dean_n of_o st._n paul_n pretend_v to_o disclaim_v they_o and_o therefore_o i_o think_v mr._n lowth_n might_n well_o call_v it_o a_o

put_v together_o and_o the_o best_a excuse_n that_o i_o can_v make_v for_o it_o be_v to_o plead_v our_o near_a twenty_o year_n confusion_n the_o variety_n of_o opinion_n which_o then_o get_v in_o vogue_n the_o prejudices_fw-la which_o prevail_v and_o the_o great_a disadvantage_n most_o man_n labour_v under_o as_o to_o their_o study_n who_o be_v force_v to_o launch_v forth_o into_o the_o

only_o out_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o the_o society_n of_o learning_n but_o for_o this_o i_o have_v best_a look_v to_o myself_o for_o the_o author_n of_o the_o letter_n assure_v we_o that_o the_o bishop_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n and_o that_o the_o prudent_a and_o reverend_a governor_n of_o our_o church_n do_v admire_v the_o performance_n well_o then_o there_o be_v no_o help_n for_o such_o as_o i_o unless_o we_o can_v shelter_v ourselves_o under_o such_o imprudent_a and_o irreverend_a governor_n as_o do_v not_o admire_v it_o so_o perhaps_o the_o letter-maker_n may_v think_v and_o that_o he_o be_v safe_a now_o he_o have_v set_v the_o bishop_n on_o their_o back_n who_o shall_v dare_v to_o open_v their_o mouth_n against_o the_o iraenicum_fw-la and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o i_o be_o nothing_o concern_v for_o i_o have_v learn_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n betwixt_o admire_v and_o approve_v and_o we_o more_o often_o admire_v man_n folly_n and_o wickedness_n than_o their_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n i_o shall_v easy_o grant_v that_o consider_v the_o time_n the_o person_n and_o his_o age_n there_o be_v much_o in_o that_o book_n to_o be_v admire_v and_o perhaps_o more_o to_o be_v censure_v and_o i_o hardly_o think_v that_o the_o bishop_n have_v a_o better_a opinion_n of_o that_o book_n than_o the_o dean_n profess_v to_o have_v himself_o who_o for_o some_o year_n of_o late_a have_v be_v sick_a of_o it_o but_o it_o will_v be_v the_o strange_a paradox_n in_o the_o world_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o desperate_o enamour_a on_o a_o script_n which_o sacrifice_v their_o whole_a order_n to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o magistrate_n or_o the_o mobile_n and_o actual_o degrade_v they_o into_o the_o rank_n of_o presbyter_n what_o will_v such_o insinuation_n make_v man_n think_v of_o our_o bishop_n it_o be_v insufferable_a impudence_n thus_o covert_o to_o expose_v the_o high_a order_n in_o god_n church_n but_o let_v the_o reverend_a bishop_n look_v to_o themselves_o for_o our_o author_n think_v he_o can_v prove_v what_o he_o say_v and_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o great_a sufferer_n for_o religion_n and_o loyalty_n have_v such_o a_o opinion_n of_o mr._n stillingfleet_n and_o that_o doubtless_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o iraenicum_fw-la that_o they_o make_v choice_n of_o he_o to_o undertake_v the_o defence_n of_o the_o conference_n with_o fisher_n and_o what_o of_o all_o this_o do_v it_o thence_o follow_v that_o they_o approve_v the_o iraenicum_fw-la i_o rather_o think_v the_o contrary_n i_o suppose_v our_o author_n may_v have_v hear_v of_o mr._n prynn_n a_o man_n of_o a_o restless_a spirit_n and_o unsettle_a judgement_n who_o spare_v no_o time_n or_o person_n now_o because_o they_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o to_o do_v with_o he_o but_o put_v he_o to_o the_o record_n in_o the_o tower_n to_o employ_v his_o busy_a mind_n will_v our_o author_n conclude_v that_o they_o applaud_v all_o he_o

if_o this_o author_n have_v be_v then_o live_v it_o seem_v he_o will_v have_v hence_o conclude_v that_o not_o only_o all_o the_o bishop_n but_o even_o archbishop_n whitgift_n himself_o who_o have_v

something_o more_o perhaps_o may_v be_v say_v in_o behalf_n of_o the_o rector_n of_o sutton_n for_o the_o irenicum_fw-la though_o a_o pernicious_a book_n yet_o do_v vouch_v thus_o much_o for_o its_o

much_o more_o for_o the_o very_o disow_v of_o it_o as_o the_o dean_n complain_v that_o i_o think_v he_o have_v attain_v to_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o that_o virtue_n so_o peculiar_a to_o

such_o a_o thing_n till_o that_o sermon_n be_v publish_v and_o though_o the_o dean_n follow_v his_o judgement_n in_o the_o sermon_n depart_v from_o the_o irenicum_fw-la yet_o in_o the_o epistle_n

any_o accuse_v mr._n lowth_n to_o be_v in_o the_o wrong_n and_o it_o be_v somewhat_o odd_a at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n to_o acknowledge_v the_o goodness_n of_o his_o cause_n and_o rail_v against_o his_o person_n as_o for_o the_o epistolizer_n he_o pretend_v to_o no_o more_o in_o the_o dean_n behalf_n than_o to_o prove_v that_o he_o have_v public_o disow_v his_o juvenile_n mistake_v which_o if_o he_o have_v do_v he_o may_v well_o have_v charge_v mr._n lowth_n with_o disingenuity_n but_o fail_v in_o his_o proof_n it_o return_v upon_o himself_o for_o certain_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o disingenuous_a than_o for_o a_o man_n to_o clamour_n against_o another_o for_o maintain_v the_o right_n whilst_o he_o himself_o have_v the_o confidence_n at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o defend_v the_o wrong_n as_o for_o the_o ordination-sermon_n i_o grant_v that_o it_o give_v much_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o matter_n of_o episcopacy_n but_o not_o in_o mr._n lowth_n particular_a case_n which_o

to_o sopite_fw-la the_o quarrel_n and_o that_o when_o man_n meet_v in_o their_o judgement_n they_o will_v not_o maintain_v a_o war_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o their_o passion_n for_o i_o be_o ready_a to_o persuade_v myself_o that_o he_o who_o have_v think_v fit_a to_o assert_v the_o immutability_n of_o episcopacy_n will_v not_o divest_v church_n officer_n of_o that_o power_n which_o will_v

the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n yet_o be_v very_o scandalous_a and_o therefore_o some_o cursory_a notice_n may_v be_v take_v of_o they_o he_o often_o accuse_v mr._n lowth_n of_o deal_v severe_o and_o

that_o diogenes_n trample_v on_o plato_n pride_n to_o this_o i_o return_v that_o i_o have_v often_o observe_v that_o mankind_n bear_v nothing_o with_o more_o impatience_n nor_o think_v of_o any_o
