a_o extent_n to_o lay_v a_o minister_n open_a to_o deposition_n and_o if_o church-governor_n to_o who_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o canon_n be_v commit_v shall_v forget_v christian_a moderation_n

but_o with_o suspension_n for_o three_o month_n the_o other_o ground_n why_o i_o omit_v this_o clause_n be_v because_o i_o do_v not_o think_v the_o church_n of_o scotland_n or_o any_o other_o particular_a church_n be_v so_o bless_a in_o her_o priest_n as_o that_o every_o of_o her_o minister_n be_v for_o learning_n and_o judgement_n and_o temper_v able_a and_o fit_a to_o convert_v papist_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v think_v then_o and_o do_v think_v yet_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a a_o work_n or_o to_o be_v make_v so_o common_a but_o that_o it_o be_v and_o may_v be_v much_o

try_v their_o gift_n and_o labour_v their_o conversion_n in_o god_n name_n but_o let_v not_o the_o church_n by_o a_o canon_n set_v every_o man_n on_o work_n lest_o their_o weak_a or_o indiscreet_a

more_o dangerous_a to_o himself_o than_o his_o arbitrary_a punishment_n can_v be_v to_o he_o that_o suffer_v it_o if_o he_o offer_v to_o tyrannize_v for_o this_o clause_n wheresoever_o it_o be_v

and_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o nor_o will_v the_o church_n of_o old_a admit_v any_o prayer_n in_o the_o public_a 23._o service_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o

prayer_n come_v as_o from_o the_o public_a spirit_n of_o the_o church_n when_o it_o be_v but_o the_o bishop_n or_o his_o chaplain_n or_o some_o private_a spirit_n that_o frame_v they_o if_o this_o

that_o will_v use_v they_o might_n and_o he_o that_o will_v not_o might_n choose_v and_o this_o in_o short_a time_n will_v bring_v mere_a confusion_n into_o the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o i_o

direction_n and_o constitution_n though_o her_o wisdom_n and_o piety_n frame_v it_o but_o from_o the_o authority_n and_o power_n of_o king_n and_o parliament_n so_o that_o all_o the_o argument_n which_o his_o lordship_n bring_v here_o against_o the_o church_n be_v equal_o if_o not_o more_o set_v against_o the_o king_n and_o the_o parliament_n well_o why_o then_o be_v not_o a_o injunction_n of_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n fit_a why_o my_o lord_n tell_v you_o first_o because_o it_o be_v a_o usurpation_n of_o power_n over_o the_o church_n of_o christ._n it_o be_v indeed_o a_o act_n of_o

regal_a power_n have_v aught_o to_o do_v with_o they_o dare_v he_o speak_v out_o second_o because_o it_o be_v a_o usurpation_n of_o power_n over_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n which_o god_n have_v give_v unto_o men._n not_o so_o neither_o for_o whatsoever_o gift_n or_o grace_n god_n have_v give_v unto_o man_n they_o may_v all_o have_v time_n place_n and_o occasion_n enough_o to_o use_v they_o to_o god_n glory_n and_o the_o comfort_n of_o themselves_o and_o other_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n submit_v to_o that_o set_a form_n of_o god_n worship_n which_o be_v

off_o bold_a ignorant_a and_o audacious_a man_n from_o foam_v out_o their_o own_o shame_n to_o the_o great_a disorder_n and_o scandal_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ._n as_o we_o may_v see_v at_o

which_o preach_v thus_o scandalous_o talk_v of_o gift_n and_o grace_n none_o more_o three_o because_o the_o apostle_n never_o exercise_v nor_o will_v assume_v this_o power_n of_o enjoin_v a_o set_a

john_n teach_v his_o disciple_n and_o christ_n 2._o instant_o grant_v their_o request_n teach_v they_o a_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n therefore_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o st._n john_n teach_v his_o so_o too_o though_o the_o form_n be_v not_o record_v in_o scripture_n upon_o all_o which_o lay_v together_o it_o be_v probable_a enough_o by_o my_o lord_n leave_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v exercise_n some_o set_a form_n that_o at_o lest_o which_o christ_n teach_v they_o and_o assume_v power_n to_o enjoin_v it_o upon_o their_o follower_n but_o herein_o yet_o the_o apostle_n be_v somewhat_o behold_v to_o this_o lord_n that_o he_o re-allows_a they_o may_v better_o have_v do_v it_o than_o any_o now-adays_a well_o i_o will_v not_o dispute_v what_o they_o may_v better_o have_v do_v sure_o i_o be_o it_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v do_v now_o four_o because_o the_o same_o reason_n may_v then_o have_v be_v allege_v for_o it_o that_o be_v now_o the_o same_o might_n but_o

for_o a_o man_n be_v not_o a_o apostate_n proper_o till_o he_o fall_v away_o by_o deny_v the_o whole_a faith_n but_o a_o man_n may_v be_v in_o heresy_n schism_n and_o separation_n upon_o the_o

now_o my_o lord_n tell_v we_o far_o that_o this_o be_v a_o separation_n not_o from_o their_o person_n as_o they_o be_v christian_n but_o from_o their_o corruption_n in_o matter_n of_o worship_n as_o

the_o great_a separatist_n in_o england_n that_o it_o can_v argue_v he_o to_o be_v any_o at_o all_o for_o my_o part_n i_o will_v to_o god_n it_o be_v so_o but_o let_v we_o examine_v whether_o it_o

to_o say_v there_o be_v such_o corruption_n in_o the_o liturgy_n when_o he_o do_v neither_o prove_v they_o to_o be_v such_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o name_v they_o what_o they_o be_v sure_o no._n and_o

they_o do_v differ_v from_o we_o in_o some_o fundamental_a point_n of_o doctrine_n and_o save_a truth_n my_o lord_n a_o little_a before_o tell_v we_o of_o corruption_n in_o the_o liturgy_n of_o the_o

far_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n his_o lordship_n go_v on_o to_o tell_v we_o wherein_o these_o brownist_n fail_v though_o they_o do_v not_o differ_v in_o fundamental_a point_n to_o his_o knowledge_n their_o fail_v be_v in_o this_o they_o hold_v that_o there_o be_v no_o true_a church_n in_o england_n no_o true_a ministry_n no_o true_a worship_n which_o depend_v the_o one_o upon_o the_o other_o they_o say_v all_o be_v antichristian_a here_o be_v their_o error_n they_o distinguish_v not_o between_o the_o bene_fw-la esse_fw-la or_o purity_n of_o a_o true_a church_n and_o the_o esse_fw-la or_o

how_o far_o these_o three_o no_o true_a church_n no_o true_a ministry_n no_o true_a worship_n depend_v one_o upon_o another_o and_o in_o what_o case_n it_o may_v in_o some_o exigent_n be_v otherways_o i_o will_v not_o now_o dispute_v nor_o divert_v from_o the_o main_a business_n 1._o first_o then_o if_o it_o be_v a_o error_n to_o say_v there_o be_v no_o true_a church_n no_o true_a ministry_n no_o true_a worship_n in_o england_n then_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v be_v find_v truth_n to_o say_v there_o be_v a_o true_a church_n a_o true_a ministry_n and_o a_o true_a worship_n in_o england_n and_o he_o that_o shall_v avow_v the_o contrary_a must_v needs_o differ_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o fundamental_o for_o these_o contradiction_n a_o true_a church_n and_o no_o true_a church_n a_o true_a ministry_n and_o no_o true_a ministry_n a_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o no_o true_a worship_n can_v be_v build_v up_o but_o upon_o different_a foundation_n and_o as_o for_o that_o which_o my_o lord_n affirm_v be_v add_v by_o the_o brownist_n that_o there_o be_v many_o defect_n and_o gross_a corruption_n in_o it_o so_o long_o as_o this_o be_v say_v and_o not_o prove_v it_o be_v enough_o without_o far_a proof_n to_o deny_v both_o the_o defect_n and_o corruption_n both_o the_o many_o and_o the_o gross_a as_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o church_n of_o england_n can_v make_v good_a against_o both_o my_o lord_n and_o all_o the_o brownist_n in_o england_n 2._o second_o if_o to_o affirm_v this_o be_v the_o brownist_n error_n then_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o my_o lord_n how_o he_o can_v say_v the_o brownist_n do_v not_o differ_v from_o or_o with_o we_o in_o any_o fundamental_a point_n of_o doctrine_n or_o save_a truth_n for_o if_o this_o be_v no_o fundamental_a point_n or_o no_o save_a truth_n that_o we_o be_v in_o and_o of_o a_o true_a church_n that_o this_o church_n have_v a_o true_a ministry_n to_o be_v between_o god_n and_o we_o in_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o their_o function_n whether_o upward_o to_o god_n in_o prayer_n and_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n or_o downward_o to_o we_o in_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n that_o in_o this_o church_n and_o by_o this_o ministry_n there_o be_v a_o true_a worship_n and_o that_o without_o gross_a corruption_n what_o can_v be_v account_v next_o the_o creed_n itself_o fundamental_a or_o save_v so_o that_o in_o one_o line_n my_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o say_v the_o brownist_n do_v not_o differ_v with_o we_o in_o any_o fundamental_a point_n of_o doctrine_n or_o save_v truth_n and_o in_o the_o very_a next_o line_n his_o lordship_n confess_v they_o differ_v from_o we_o in_o these_o three_o thing_n which_o if_o not_o several_a yet_o altogether_o as_o they_o depend_v one_o upon_o another_o be_v save_v and_o fundamental_a nor_o can_v this_o cautelous_a close_a help_n my_o lord_n one_o jot_n that_o he_o add_v the_o brownist_n do_v not_o differ_v from_o we_o in_o any_o fundamental_a point_n of_o doctrine_n or_o save_a truth_n as_o his_o lordship_n know_v for_o be_v his_o lordship_n of_o a_o shallow_a or_o narrow_a comprehension_n it_o be_v another_o matter_n but_o since_o he_o be_v so_o full_a of_o understanding_n in_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v impossible_a but_o he_o must_v know_v these_o three_o together_o be_v fundamental_a and_o be_v so_o he_o must_v needs_o know_v also_o that_o the_o brownist_n differ_v with_o we_o in_o fundamental_o which_o be_v that_o which_o he_o deny_v if_o therefore_o my_o lord_n will_v say_v he_o know_v not_o this_o to_o be_v the_o brownist_n error_n why_o do_v he_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o say_v it_o be_v if_o he_o will_v grant_v that_o he_o know_v it_o he_o must_v needs_o know_v withal_o if_o he_o will_v not_o shut_v out_o the_o light_n of_o his_o

point_n of_o doctrine_n or_o save_a truth_n thus_o far_o then_o my_o lord_n relate_v the_o fail_n of_o the_o brownist_n i_o hope_v he_o will_v be_v so_o careful_a as_o not_o to_o fail_v with_o they_o himself_o yes_o sure_a for_o he_o add_v i_o hold_v no_o such_o opinion_n but_o do_v believe_v to_o the_o contrary_a that_o there_o be_v in_o england_n many_o true_a church_n and_o a_o true_a ministry_n which_o i_o do_v hear_v and_o with_o which_o church_n i_o can_v join_v in_o communion_n be_v those_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n which_o be_v lay_v upon_o they_o take_v off_o and_o those_o corruption_n remove_v which_o they_o do_v contrary_a as_o i_o think_v to_o their_o duty_n yield_v unto_o and_o admit_v of_o and_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a no_o separatist_n in_o england_n hold_v that_o deserve_v that_o name_n and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v your_o lordship_n will_n in_o that_o respect_n let_v i_o stand_v right_a in_o your_o opinion_n here_o my_o lord_n tell_v we_o he_o hold_v no_o such_o opinion_n but_o do_v believe_v to_o the_o contrary_n but_o i_o doubt_v he_o so_o believe_v to_o the_o contrary_a as_o that_o he_o be_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n for_o he_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v in_o england_n many_o true_a church_n and_o a_o true_a ministry_n and_o so_o do_v all_o the_o brownist_n for_o no_o doubt_n but_o they_o believe_v that_o all_o their_o congregation_n or_o
