to_o make_v episcopacy_n dangerous_a to_o regality_n will_v have_v above_o twenry_n to_o one_o against_o he_o and_o therefore_o to_o advance_v it_o it_o be_v therefore_o absurd_o do_v of_o he_o to_o charge_n crimine_fw-la ab_fw-la uno_fw-la disce_fw-la omnes_fw-la upon_o the_o bishop_n here_o when_o as_o he_o himself_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o make_v good_a his_o exception_n 2._o for_o want_v of_o argument_n against_o the_o bishop_n assertion_n that_o the_o bishop_n be_v the_o sole_a pastor_n of_o all_o congregation_n in_o his_o diocese_n d._n e._n be_v sure_a he_o say_v but_o it_o be_v only_o upon_o his_o own_o authority_n &_o gratis_o dictum_fw-la it_o can_v be_v defend_v by_o those_o argument_n which_o maintain_v the_o pope_n supremacy_n which_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o d._n e._n shall_v be_v sure_a that_o my_o go_v to_o church_n can_v only_o be_v maintain_v by_o those_o argument_n which_o be_v allege_v to_o maintain_v mass_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v never_o come_v there_o and_o if_o he_o have_v understand_v a_o little_a logic_n he_o will_v have_v find_v he_o have_v prove_v the_o bishop_n assertion_n by_o the_o practice_n of_o paul_n and_o peter_n though_o no_o saint_n of_o his_o which_o he_o bring_v against_o it_o for_o to_o bid_v and_o command_v be_v the_o predicament_n of_o relation_n to_o something_o subject_a to_o it_o and_o if_o paul_n may_v bid_v the_o elder_n of_o ephesus_n and_o peter_n command_v his_o fellow_n elder_n then_o necessary_o must_v the_o elder_n of_o ephesus_n and_o peter_n fellow_n elder_n be_v subject_a to_o paul_n and_o peter_n which_o be_v i_o believe_v as_o much_o as_o the_o bishop_n will_v desire_v 3._o i_o commend_v d._n e._n that_o in_o his_o 3._o objection_n he_o charge_v the_o bishop_n page_z 3._o that_o such_o as_o come_v not_o in_o by_o the_o door_n to_o be_v thief_n and_o robber_n ought_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o such_o minister_n as_o speak_v to_o congregation_n without_o the_o bishop_n licence_n whereas_o the_o bishop_n then_o only_a charge_n mr._n baxter_n not_o to_o come_v in_o by_o the_o door_n but_o to_o be_v a_o thief_n and_o robber_n because_o he_o have_v not_o only_o rob_v the_o rightful_a vicar_n of_o kidderminster_n of_o his_o reputation_n but_o of_o his_o mean_n and_o maintenance_n d._n e._n therefore_o do_v very_o well_o to_o set_v up_o a_o man_n of_o straw_n this_o cold_a weather_n and_o get_v himself_o heat_n by_o thresh_v of_o it_o but_o if_o d._n e._n be_v good_a at_o addition_n he_o be_v no_o less_o at_o substraction_n and_o therefore_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o the_o bishop_n instance_n of_o saint_n paul_n and_o alexander_n the_o coppersmith_n and_o demas_n philetus_n and_o h●meneus_n for_o d._n e._n his_o objection_n against_o preach_v without_o a_o licence_n after_o ordination_n because_o it_o can_v be_v dissolve_v much_o less_o hinder_v in_o the_o free_a use_n except_o for_o moral_a and_o notorious_o vicious_a misdemeanour_n i_o grant_v that_o power_n indissoluble_a because_o a_o divine_a institution_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o may_v not_o be_v suspend_v upon_o abuse_n of_o it_o however_o d._n e._n put_v the_o cart_n before_o the_o horse_n in_o affirm_v it_o impossible_a to_o be_v dissolve_v much_o less_o impeach_v or_o hinder_v in_o the_o free_a use_n of_o it_o for_o his_o 2._o objection_n of_o be_v unreasonable_a for_o one_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o silence_v another_o and_o the_o bishop_n to_o be_v no_o more_o he_o himself_o before_o grant_v it_o in_o paul_n bid_n and_o peter_n command_v the_o elder_n and_o paul_n and_o peter_n be_v but_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o if_o paul_n and_o peter_n may_v bid_v and_o command_v than_o may_v paul_n and_o peter_n forbid_v and_o silence_n for_o cujus_fw-la est_fw-la velle_fw-la ejus_fw-la est_fw-la nolle_fw-la but_o it_o be_v well_o here_o he_o allow_v the_o bishop_n to_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o christ_n whereas_o page_n 2._o he_o make_v he_o pure_o the_o king_n and_o now_o let_v i_o tell_v d._n e._n that_o the_o judge_n of_o assize_n be_v fellow_n subject_n with_o himself_o yet_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v may_v proceed_v against_o and_o hang_v he_o if_o he_o mend_v not_o his_o manner_n nor_o have_v d._n e._n get_v so_o great_a a_o goal_n of_o the_o bishop_n in_o affirm_v our_o saviour_n to_o put_v the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n to_o silence_n by_o argument_n only_o for_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n be_v rightful_o in_o moses_n chair_n and_o have_v not_o as_o thief_n and_o robber_n invade_v the_o right_n and_o just_a possession_n of_o other_o man_n as_o the_o presbyterian_o do_v nor_o in_o that_o formality_n as_o presbyterian_o have_v they_o or_o now_o have_v any_o right_a or_o power_n to_o teach_v the_o people_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o true_a which_o he_o say_v the_o bishop_n lay_v to_o their_o charge_n of_o preach_v nothing_o but_o sedition_n and_o treason_n as_o contrary_a to_o their_o principle_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v no_o way_n contrary_a to_o their_o practice_n and_o so_o they_o be_v the_o more_o manifest_a hypocrite_n in_o be_v so_o 4._o d._n e._n 4_o the_o objection_n be_v injurious_a and_o false_a for_o in_o all_o age_n the_o church_n do_v and_o may_v in_o point_n of_o conscience_n enjoin_v penance_n for_o public_a or_o private_a fault_n although_o forgive_v or_o not_o take_v notice_n of_o by_o temporal_a power_n without_o any_o breach_n or_o disturbance_n of_o the_o public_a peace_n neither_o do_v i_o find_v or_o believe_v that_o the_o bishop_n do_v affirm_v the_o church_n distinct_a from_o the_o state_n to_o have_v any_o coercive_a power_n 5._o d._n e._n 5_o the_o objection_n be_v so_o wild_a and_o impertinent_a that_o i_o be_o confident_a the_o bishop_n do_v never_o dream_v of_o such_o a_o consequence_n as_o he_o there_o put_v where_o thing_n be_v command_v by_o they_o who_o have_v no_o right_n or_o authority_n to_o do_v it_o 6._o and_o whereas_o d._n e._n in_o his_o six_o objection_n against_o the_o bishop_n will_v have_v it_o a_o unconscionable_a thing_n to_o go_v against_o any_o pretence_n of_o scripture_n or_o practice_n of_o primitive_a time_n and_o to_o impose_v in_o god_n worship_n thing_n confess_o needless_a and_o trivial_a and_o therefore_o what_o the_o bishop_n uncompassionate_o tell_v we_o that_o our_o law_n do_v well_o to_o punish_v even_o with_o non-admission_n to_o the_o sacrament_n such_o as_o will_v not_o or_o perhaps_o dare_v not_o kneel_v i_o be_o unwilling_a to_o dispute_v with_o any_o man_n where_o the_o term_n of_o the_o subject_a matter_n be_v not_o first_o define_v much_o less_o where_o my_o adversary_n and_o i_o it_o may_v be_v mean_v quite_o contrary_a thing_n by_o they_o i_o say_v then_o by_o conscience_n i_o understand_v always_o a_o rightful_a power_n command_v or_o forbid_v any_o thing_n and_o if_o any_o subordinate_a power_n to_o which_o i_o be_o subject_a command_v contrary_a to_o it_o then_o to_o submit_v to_o the_o penalty_n but_o never_o to_o resist_v the_o power_n now_o will_v i_o know_v what_o law_n of_o god_n forbid_v i_o to_o kneel_v at_o the_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n or_o otherwise_o i_o can_v plead_v conscience_n against_o it_o if_o i_o be_v enjoin_v to_o do_v it_o by_o any_o authority_n to_o which_o i_o be_o subject_a and_o therefore_o our_o law_n do_v well_o to_o punish_v those_o who_o will_v not_o conform_v and_o that_o kneel_v and_o outward_a gesture_n be_v not_o trivial_a and_o needless_a as_o d._n e._n be_v please_v to_o term_v they_o in_o the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n be_v evident_a both_o by_o the_o old_a law_n and_o gospel_n and_o consent_n of_o all_o man_n in_o all_o age_n and_o place_n until_o deny_v by_o our_o late_a and_o now_o hypocrite_n and_o reformer_n i_o say_v that_o outward_a gesture_n be_v command_v by_o our_o saviour_n himself_o in_o god_n worship_n for_o when_o the_o devil_n tempt_v our_o saviour_n he_o bid_v he_o not_o ask_v any_o thing_n of_o he_o but_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_v he_o which_o be_v only_o a_o outward_a gesture_n but_o our_o saviour_n tell_v that_o it_o be_v write_v that_o thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v to_o worship_n god_n therefore_o with_o a_o outward_a worship_n be_v command_v by_o our_o saviour_n and_o i_o pray_v what_o be_v god_n jealous_a of_o in_o the_o second_o commandment_n of_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_v any_o creature_n but_o that_o that_o shall_v be_v give_v to_o it_o which_o be_v only_o due_a and_o proper_a to_o he_o and_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o all_o story_n man_n do_v ever_o wheresoever_o they_o apprehend_v a_o deity_n worship_v it_o with_o outward_a worship_n it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v a_o trivial_a and_o needless_a

thing_n in_o moses_n at_o another_o time_n to_o put_v off_o his_o shoe_n it_o be_v not_o so_o when_o god_n bid_v he_o put_v they_o off_o because_o the_o place_n be_v holy_a but_o d._n e._n have_v two_o reason_n against_o the_o bishop_n reason_n for_o non-admission_n of_o such_o as_o will_v not_o kneel_v at_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n viz._n that_o it_o become_v not_o the_o lawgiver_n to_o endanger_v the_o church_n peace_n for_o their_o sake_n one_o be_v it_o do_v much_o more_o become_v all_o lawgiver_n in_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n to_o observe_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v a_o law_n of_o love_n and_o liberty_n when_o d._n e._n show_v that_o kneel_v or_o observe_v thing_n due_o require_v of_o we_o in_o god_n service_n do_v become_v destructive_a to_o christ_n law_n of_o love_n and_o liberty_n than_o he_o say_v something_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o think_v d._n e._n to_o be_v a_o wondrous_a proper_a instrument_n to_o plead_v for_o love_n and_o liberty_n in_o religion_n for_o his_o love_n it_o appear_v by_o his_o animadversion_n and_o for_o his_o liberty_n sure_a his_o religion_n be_v yet_o to_o choose_v his_o second_o be_v the_o church_n peace_n to_o be_v more_o endanger_v by_o press_a thing_n doubtful_a than_o by_o the_o forbearance_n of_o they_o for_o since_o by_o enforce_v of_o such_o thing_n as_o god_n have_v no_o where_o command_v our_o christian_a liberty_n be_v enfringe_v from_o hence_o it_o follow_v if_o it_o ought_v not_o yet_o we_o may_v lawful_o refuse_v such_o imposition_n as_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o wash_v his_o hand_n before_o meat_n and_o the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o case_n of_o circumcision_n what_o though_o god_n have_v not_o command_v thing_n in_o his_o worship_n and_o service_n shall_v therefore_o nothing_o be_v do_v in_o it_o nothing_o less_o for_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o i_o that_o god_n command_v i_o to_o hear_v and_o obey_v the_o church_n and_o command_v the_o church_n to_o do_v all_o thing_n decent_o and_o in_o order_n in_o his_o worship_n and_o service_n what_o thing_n therefore_o the_o church_n command_v for_o decency_n and_o order_n in_o god_n worship_n if_o they_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o god_n law_n be_v not_o thing_n doubtful_a but_o aught_o in_o conscience_n to_o be_v submit_v to_o upon_o penalty_n of_o the_o breach_n of_o god_n law_n in_o not_o hear_v and_o disobey_v the_o church_n for_o d._n e._n his_o instance_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o apostle_n refuse_v to_o observe_v the_o pharisee_n in_o wash_v of_o hand_n and_o circumcission_n it_o be_v both_o blasphemous_a and_o false_a for_o our_o saviour_n be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o pharisee_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o therefore_o d._n e._n can_v assume_v to_o

7._o nor_o be_v that_o a_o rope_n of_o sand_n which_o the_o bishop_n affirm_v that_o from_o diversity_n in_o external_a form_n arise_v dislike_n from_o dislike_n enmity_n from_o enmity_n opposition_n thence_o schism_n in_o the_o church_n and_o sedition_n in_o the_o state_n for_o as_o socrates_n object_n to_o eutyphro_n that_o there_o must_v necessary_o be_v something_o to_o which_o man_n in_o difference_n must_v indifferent_o submit_v to_o or_o their_o dissension_n will_v be_v endless_a and_o if_o the_o establish_a rule_n in_o the_o church_n for_o god_n worship_n and_o service_n be_v not_o that_o thing_n to_o which_o d._n e._n and_o i_o must_v indifferent_o submit_v to_o then_o be_v there_o nothing_o in_o the_o power_n of_o d._n e._n or_o myself_o which_o can_v prescribe_v another_o and_o so_o by_o consequence_n there_o can_v be_v no_o decency_n nor_o order_n in_o the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n but_o all_o thing_n therein_o leave_v in_o confusion_n and_o disorder_n which_o be_v express_o against_o the_o divine_a canon_n nor_o do_v ever_o d._n e._n or_o any_o seditious_a man_n begin_v at_o sedition_n direct_o but_o always_o pretend_a conscience_n and_o make_v religion_n a_o stalk_a horse_n thereunto_o according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o poet_n quoties_fw-la vis_fw-la fallere_fw-la plebem_fw-la finge_fw-la deum_fw-la and_o i_o challenge_v d._n e._n to_o instance_n in_o any_o age_n or_o place_n where_o man_n invade_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n but_o they_o at_o least_o attempt_v the_o like_a in_o the_o state_n and_o now_o see_v how_o vain_a and_o idle_a ●ll_o 3_o of_o d._n e._n objection_n against_o the_o bishop_n assertion_n be_v his_o first_o reason_n be_v that_o in_o diversity_n of_o external_a form_n without_o any_o dislike_n as_o to_o the_o person_n the_o apostle_n that_o preach_v to_o the_o circumcision_n give_v the_o right_a hand_n of_o fellowship_n to_o the_o apostle_n of_o the_o gentile_n although_o their_o outward_a rite_n and_o public_a worship_n be_v far_o more_o different_a than_o those_o which_o by_o any_o of_o the_o most_o distant_a persuasion_n be_v now_o practise_v in_o england_n so_o that_o d._n e._n grant_v the_o bishop_n that_o external_a form_n in_o god_n worship_n be_v a_o apostolic_a practice_n without_o any_o prejudice_n to_o the_o bishop_n assertion_n for_o since_o god_n in_o our_o nature_n have_v not_o leave_v in_o what_o external_a form_n he_o will_v be_v worship_v but_o to_o every_o church_n her_o liberty_n and_o therefore_o divers_a apostle_n and_o divers_a church_n ever_o do_v and_o now_o do_v use_v divers_a external_a form_n in_o their_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o church_n of_o england_n may_v use_v one_o external_a form_n different_a from_o that_o of_o france_n and_o that_o of_o france_n another_o from_o that_o of_o greece_n etc._n etc._n without_o any_o dislike_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o d._n e._n may_v raise_v schism_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n or_o france_n any_o more_o than_o that_o because_o the_o law_n of_o england_n and_o france_n be_v different_a therefore_o d._n e._n be_v not_o oblige_v by_o they_o but_o may_v make_v rebellion_n and_o raise_v sedition_n in_o they_o certain_o if_o d._n e._n have_v logic_n enough_o to_o understand_v his_o argument_n i_o will_v not_o wish_v the_o bishop_n a_o better_a advocate_n but_o whereas_o d._n e._n in_o his_o second_o objection_n think_v for_o want_v of_o reason_n he_o have_v so_o sure_a a_o topick_n in_o his_o instance_n of_o a_o pagan_a state_n
