the_o law_n it_o seem_v they_o be_v only_o forbid_v by_o the_o law_n to_o go_v to_o the_o feast_n which_o they_o the_o gentile_n make_v of_o their_o sacrifice_n lest_o they_o shall_v worship_v their_o

the_o law_n that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o further_o off_o from_o transgress_v it_o but_o bring_v in_o under_o the_o prophet_n and_o observe_v by_o the_o more_o religious_a and_o the_o jew_n have_v reason_n when_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o nehemiah_n be_v dispense_v with_o for_o drink_v the_o wine_n of_o the_o gentile_n because_o he_o be_v cupbearer_n to_o the_o king_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o s._n paul_n leave_v it_o to_o the_o charity_n of_o every_o christian_a to_o use_v his_o freedom_n so_o spare_o as_o not_o to_o offend_v a_o weak_a christian_n but_o under_o the_o law_n it_o become_v a_o rule_n that_o all_o the_o strong_a shall_v forbear_v that_o which_o may_v possible_o offend_v the_o weak_a and_o therefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n at_o jerusalem_n enjoin_v those_o that_o be_v convert_v of_o gentile_n to_o abstain_v from_o meat_n sacrifice_v to_o idol_n they_o do_v forbid_v they_o to_o eat_v such_o meat_n even_o material_o and_o command_v they_o to_o make_v inquiry_n for_o conscience_n sake_n as_o the_o jew_n use_v to_o do_v and_o as_o convert_v gentile_n do_v in_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n for_o the_o ordinance_n of_o act_n xv._o 23._o address_v

case_n in_o which_o it_o be_v demand_v by_o consequence_n but_o that_o can_v be_v do_v but_o out_o of_o the_o premise_n we_o must_v suppose_v the_o church_n of_o england_n a_o member_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n desire_v to_o reform_v itself_o because_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o church_n will_v not_o join_v in_o the_o same_o work_n but_o desire_n to_o continue_v a_o member_n of_o the_o whole_a

as_o a_o church_n of_o england_n when_o they_o be_v understand_v for_o how_o shall_v they_o own_v any_o right_n of_o sovereign_a power_n to_o give_v law_n to_o the_o church_n of_o their_o dominion_n that_o allow_v they_o no_o right_n to_o punish_v the_o transgression_n of_o such_o law_n but_o the_o case_n must_v be_v state_v upon_o the_o term_n propose_v nevertheless_o as_o to_o those_o that_o acknowledge_v national_a church_n except_v for_o those_o that_o make_v this_o plea_n when_o we_o see_v time_n this_o only_a i_o think_v will_v be_v say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o now_o to_o be_v reform_v but_o have_v be_v reform_v be_v now_o question_v as_o if_o the_o reformation_n of_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o perfect_a and_o therefore_o the_o boldness_n be_v take_v by_o a_o private_a person_n of_o my_o condition_n to_o give_v a_o opinion_n what_o be_v most_o want_v in_o the_o reformation_n of_o it_o because_o it_o can_v be_v say_v what_o be_v undue_o demand_v until_o

trust_v with_o the_o cure_n of_o soul_n by_o their_o bishop_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o it_o have_v be_v further_o demand_v that_o some_o of_o those_o law_n by_o which_o religion_n be_v settle_v in_o the_o kingdom_n be_v repeal_v for_o their_o sake_n that_o they_o may_v have_v no_o pretence_n to_o scruple_n the_o office_n of_o the_o ministry_n not_o that_o it_o be_v now_o say_v as_o for_o this_o hundred_o year_n it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o the_o law_n which_o they_o will_v have_v repeal_v be_v against_o god_n law_n and_o that_o therefore_o they_o can_v yield_v they_o obedience_n but_o that_o the_o minister_n or_o people_n that_o will_v follow_v they_o have_v a_o doubt_n in_o conscience_n which_o they_o can_v be_v clear_v of_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o yield_v they_o obedience_n and_o that_o they_o can_v do_v it_o without_o sin_v and_o incur_v damnation_n by_o do_v against_o their_o conscience_n and_o this_o be_v also_o the_o case_n in_o which_o

doubt_n i_o suppose_v they_o will_v think_v it_o fit_a to_o say_v that_o though_o s._n paul_n enjoin_v they_o to_o forbear_v one_o another_o so_o long_o as_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v their_o

be_v past_a that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o hope_n to_o gain_v the_o jew_n by_o compliance_n without_o make_v ourselves_o jew_n as_o to_o make_v a_o question_n of_o offend_v a_o jew_n by_o not_o abate_v the_o profession_n of_o his_o christianity_n the_o consequence_n whereof_o be_v all_o that_o i_o demand_v if_o s._n paul_n will_v have_v the_o jew_n forbear_v that_o the_o provocation_n which_o they_o may_v meet_v with_o may_v not_o move_v they_o to_o dislike_v their_o christianity_n certain_o he_o hold_v they_o to_o be_v under_o a_o light_n which_o oblige_v they_o not_o to_o
