how_o such_o a_o carriage_n as_o this_o through_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o my_o life_n in_o private_a and_o public_a can_v stand_v with_o a_o intention_n nay_o a_o practice_n to_o overthrow_v the_o

that_o unity_n can_v long_o continue_v in_o the_o church_n where_o uniformity_n be_v shut_v out_o at_o the_o church-door_n and_o i_o evident_o see_v that_o the_o public_a neglect_n of_o god_n

be_v leave_v out_o the_o one_o be_v this_o passage_n because_o they_o be_v exclude_v from_o justification_n and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o know_v place_n of_o st._n bernard_n that_o good_a work_n be_v via_fw-la regni_fw-la non_fw-la causa_fw-la regnandi_fw-la now_o i_o conceive_v both_o these_o passage_n may_v be_v leave_v out_o of_o this_o canon_n without_o any_o wicked_a intention_n in_o either_o canterbury_n or_o ross_n against_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n but_o let_v the_o charge_n proceed_v here_o ross_n give_v his_o judgement_n that_o he_o will_v have_v this_o canon_n simple_o command_v good_a work_n to_o be_v preach_v and_o no_o mention_n make_v what_o place_n they_o have_v or_o have_v not_o in_o justification_n upon_o this_o motion_n so_o agreeable_a to_o canterbury_n mind_n the_o canon_n be_v set_v down_o as_o it_o stand_v without_o the_o distinction_n of_o via_fw-la regni_fw-la &_o causa_fw-la regnandi_fw-la or_o any_o word_n sound_v that_o way_n urge_v only_o the_o necessity_n of_o good_a work_n well!_o now_o at_o last_o i_o see_v the_o bottom_n of_o this_o charge_n and_o i_o see_v too_o that_o too_o many_o man_n be_v shy_a of_o good_a work_n and_o for_o fear_v more_o shall_v be_v attribute_v to_o they_o than_o be_v fit_a refuse_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o which_o be_v due_a unto_o they_o but_o sure_o i_o be_o there_o be_v a_o command_n and_o more_o than_o one_o express_o in_o the_o text_n for_o the_o do_v of_o good_a work_n and_o that_o without_o any_o distinction_n and_o so_o i_o conceive_v the_o scripture_n be_v warrant_n enough_o for_o this_o canon_n to_o command_v the_o preach_a of_o good_a work_n even_o without_o any_o distinction_n at_o all_o whatsoever_o since_o god_n have_v so_o absolute_o and_o so_o express_o command_v that_o we_o shall_v serve_v he_o in_o good_a work_n to_o which_o 12_o moses_n and_o 16._o christ_n the_o 20._o prophet_n and_o 12._o apostle_n do_v sufficient_o bear_v witness_n but_o it_o seem_v these_o man_n have_v very_o good_a intelligence_n that_o when_o i_o look_v over_o these_o canon_n which_o i_o protest_v i_o do_v alone_o by_o myself_o and_o then_o send_v they_o to_o my_o lord_n the_o bishop_n of_o london_n for_o he_o to_o do_v the_o like_a can_v yet_o tell_v that_o here_o ross_n give_v his_o judgement_n and_o will_v have_v the_o canon_n go_v absolute_o and_o that_o this_o be_v according_a to_o canterbury_n mind_n so_o it_o go_v where_o yet_o i_o shall_v humble_o crave_v leave_n to_o observe_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v that_o if_o this_o be_v true_a that_o ross_n will_v have_v these_o thing_n out_o then_o one_o of_o their_o own_o prelate_n and_o he_o trust_v from_o the_o rest_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o omission_n and_o so_o canterbury_n be_v neither_o master_n of_o the_o work_n nor_o be_v all_o thing_n in_o it_o do_v by_o he_o and_o no_o other_o as_o be_v before_o affirm_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o second_o novation_n the_o other_o thing_n be_v the_o omission_n itself_o of_o which_o i_o shall_v say_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v that_o if_o ross_n do_v give_v that_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v fit_v that_o canon_n shall_v command_v the_o preach_a of_o good_a work_n in_o general_a because_o it_o be_v a_o time_n of_o such_o profaneness_n as_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o canon_n i_o for_o my_o part_n can_v but_o approve_v it_o the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o leave_v out_o of_o that_o know_v say_v of_o st._n bernard_n i_o humble_o conceive_v be_v no_o fault_n either_o in_o myself_o or_o any_o other_o for_o though_o the_o speech_n be_v good_a and_o though_o the_o say_n of_o private_a man_n eminent_a in_o their_o time_n be_v sometime_o put_v into_o the_o canon_n of_o national_a church_n yet_o usual_o it_o be_v not_o

be_v also_o manifest_a that_o he_o go_v about_o to_o establish_v auricular_a confession_n and_o popish_a absolution_n i_o have_v show_v before_o that_o this_o book_n of_o canon_n be_v not_o print_v
