sectary_n do_v open_o preach_v and_o publish_v it_o be_v observable_a that_o many_o point_n of_o popery_n and_o arminianism_n be_v now_o vent_v by_o these_o several_a sect_n i_o know_v not_o to_o what_o to_o impute_v it_o but_o either_o to_o the_o jesuit_n subtlety_n who_o profess_v and_o act_n every_o sect_n or_o to_o the_o suitablenesse_n of_o many_o of_o those_o error_n to_o corrupt_v nature_n that_o even_o ignorant_a and_o unlearned_a man_n fall_v into_o they_o without_o any_o teacher_n as_o well_o as_o some_o learned_a rabbi_n i_o wish_v they_o will_v consider_v it_o 2._o we_o may_v true_o say_v of_o the_o bishop_n some_o of_o they_o they_o hatch_v and_o breed_v those_o sect_n and_o heresy_n which_o we_o now_o labour_v under_o they_o by_o their_o rigour_n in_o exact_v conformity_n to_o needless_a ceremony_n first_o drive_v many_o to_o separation_n and_o then_o to_o fall_v from_o one_o error_n to_o another_o which_o now_o show_v themselves_o in_o this_o time_n of_o anarchicall_a liberty_n 3._o it_o be_v indeed_o want_v of_o government_n settle_v in_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o inlet_n to_o all_o these_o error_n and_o heresy_n here_o be_v the_o beginning_n of_o our_o misery_n that_o some_o be_v hasty_a to_o pull_v down_o one_o government_n but_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o set_v up_o another_o and_o so_o leave_v the_o church_n as_o a_o vineyard_n without_o

liberty_n of_o conscience_n and_o prevail_v with_o authority_n for_o connivance_n at_o themselves_o which_o they_o intend_v perhaps_o only_o to_o be_v indulge_v to_o true_o tender_a conscience_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v regard_v that_o door_n of_o liberty_n be_v but_o a_o little_a open_v the_o violence_n of_o other_o widen_v and_o keep_v open_v the_o door_n for_o the_o rest_n to_o rush_v in_o and_o it_o can_v never_o since_o be_v shut_v three_o other_o lay_v it_o at_o the_o door_n of_o that_o power_n which_o repeal_v the_o paenall_a statute_n for_o not_o be_v present_a at_o church_n the_o place_n of_o public_a meeting_n which_o say_v they_o be_v a_o implicit_a toleration_n for_o all_o religion_n this_o key_n have_v serve_v ever_o since_o to_o open_v the_o door_n of_o all_o the_o conventicle_n in_o the_o land_n where_o every_o subtle_a jesuited_a sect-master_n have_v free_a liberty_n to_o vent_v his_o own_o poisonous_a opinion_n and_o none_o to_o control_v he_o nothing_o it_o be_v think_v have_v more_o gratify_v the_o pope_n and_o his_o jesuit_n since_o these_o late_a trouble_n begin_v than_o that_o repeal_n i_o wish_v they_o now_o at_o their_o leisure_n may_v consider_v the_o mischief_n do_v who_o have_v their_o hand_n and_o vote_n in_o that_o repeal_n these_o and_o some_o other_o of_o the_o like_a nature_n be_v the_o conjecture_n that_o be_v make_v concern_v the_o
