conscience_n we_o can_v submit_v actual_o to_o the_o power_n of_o a_o presbyterial_a government_n who_o in_o our_o judgement_n think_v it_o not_o the_o power_n christ_n will_v have_v his_o church_n be_v govern_v by_o i_o know_v not_o unless_o he_o will_v have_v we_o be_v the_o very_a hypocrite_n time-servers_a these_o which_o will_v do_v any_o thing_n to_o save_v ourselves_o sure_o how_o ever_o he_o can_v practice_v one_o thing_n and_o judge_v otherwise_o of_o it_o we_o dare_v not_o for_o as_o we_o account_v it_o below_o rational_a creature_n to_o put_v out_o their_o own_o eye_n to_o see_v by_o other_o mean_n so_o we_o think_v it_o hypocrisy_n in_o the_o high_a to_o practice_v that_o our_o judgement_n be_v against_o that_o be_v not_o a_o humane_a action_n much_o less_o christian_n that_o be_v not_o do_v praeeunte_fw-la judicio_fw-la intellectus_fw-la and_o how_o much_o less_o when_o it_o be_v against_o the_o thing_n to_o his_o eleven_o quaere_fw-la he_o say_v i_o give_v only_o a_o negative_a answer_n and_o then_o declaim_v against_o presbytery_n without_o any_o ground_n or_o reason_n which_o he_o say_v he_o will_v prove_v no_o further_o except_o in_o two_o particular_n first_o that_o independency_n be_v in_o reality_n mere_a separation_n and_o brownism_n late_o christen_v with_o a_o new_a title_n to_o take_v off_o its_o odium_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o in_o a_o way_n of_o answer_n but_o this_o that_o it_o will_v be_v well_o if_o presbytery_n prove_v not_o in_o reality_n a_o tyrannical_a episcopacy_n only_o new_o baptize_v with_o the_o fair_a word_n regulate_v a_o regulate_v episcopacy_n say_v master_n pryn_n himself_o and_o i_o wish_v it_o may_v not_o break_v its_o bridle_n short_o second_o he_o say_v that_o we_o find_v what_o bloody_a division_n war_n schism_n the_o toleration_n but_o of_o one_o religion_n in_o our_o realm_n contrary_a to_o that_o establish_a viz._n popery_n and_o papist_n have_v produce_v in_o all_o our_o dominion_n etc._n etc._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o comparison_n between_o popery_n and_o this_o way_n we_o speak_v for_o they_o differ_v in_o all_o fundamental_n their_o principle_n be_v absolute_o against_o the_o secular_a power_n which_o be_v not_o of_o their_o religion_n neither_o be_v we_o different_a religion_n but_o the_o same_o only_o in_o some_o point_n wherein_o the_o beauty_n of_o religion_n lie_v we_o differ_v we_o have_v the_o same_o faith_n baptism_n we_o all_o profess_v the_o same_o christ_n yea_o we_o differ_v but_o in_o a_o point_n and_o that_o mere_o out_o of_o conscience_n second_o how_o will_v you_o help_v the_o grow_a of_o sect_n do_v what_o you_o can_v they_o will_v grow_v not_o all_o the_o counsel_n yet_o and_o strict_a government_n in_o the_o world_n have_v ever_o keep_v their_o dominion_n free_a nay_o the_o more_o severity_n be_v use_v the_o more_o they_o will_v grow_v for_o that_o which_o be_v oppose_v and_o cry_v out_o against_o man_n will_v the_o more_o pry_v into_o bishop_n make_v more_o puritan_n against_o their_o will_n than_o ever_o be_v before_o and_o it_o will_v be_v so_o in_o other_o thing_n too_o man_n will_v be_v doubt_v whether_o that_o power_n be_v lawful_a which_o be_v so_o cruel_a error_n be_v like_o camorile_a the_o more_o you_o tread_v they_o down_o the_o more_o they_o will_v grow_v let_v they_o alone_o they_o will_v fall_v off_o themselves_o three_o uniformity_n be_v no_o mark_n of_o a_o true_a church_n that_o be_v the_o papist_n glory_n the_o apostle_n say_v there_o must_v be_v heresy_n that_o the_o truth_n may_v be_v manifest_v this_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o saint_n that_o though_o their_o light_n differ_v yet_o their_o heart_n be_v one_o and_o they_o love_v one_o another_o though_o in_o some_o thing_n they_o have_v not_o receive_v equal_a knowledge_n yet_o far_o to_o come_v to_o this_o way_n for_o that_o be_v it_o you_o intend_v that_o there_o may_v not_o be_v any_o sufferance_n of_o it_o if_o it_o must_v not_o be_v tolerate_v it_o be_v either_o for_o something_o in_o its_o self_n or_o for_o its_o inconsistency_n with_o state_n or_o for_o fear_n that_o they_o shall_v grow_v too_o numerous_a for_o the_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n to_o curb_v for_o the_o first_o let_v all_o the_o world_n judge_n that_o know_v it_o what_o it_o hold_v i_o know_v nothing_o that_o either_o in_o its_o foundation_n or_o structure_n have_v any_o poison_n or_o sting_v in_o it_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v not_o in_o charity_n be_v bear_v with_o that_o seek_v not_o preeminence_n or_o jurisdiction_n over_o other_o it_o meddle_v not_o with_o other_o man_n matter_n to_o disturb_v they_o in_o their_o peace_n all_o that_o it_o differ_v from_o you_o be_v in_o matter_n of_o discipline_n and_o what_o be_v not_o immediate_o belong_v to_o salvation_n yet_o they_o be_v the_o liberty_n of_o christ_n as_o be_v conceive_v as_o second_o neither_o be_v it_o inconsistent_a with_o state_n for_o it_o be_v set_v up_o under_o the_o heathen_a emperor_n that_o be_v the_o most_o cruel_a and_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o its_o principle_n that_o have_v so_o much_o as_o a_o shadow_n of_o inconsistency_n for_o it_o meddle_v not_o with_o their_o power_n beside_o we_o see_v in_o other_o kingdom_n as_o flourish_a state_n as_o any_o be_v many_o other_o beside_o this_o way_n be_v tolerate_v yet_o no_o disturbance_n to_o the_o state_n yea_o though_o the_o public_a government_n of_o the_o church_n be_v presbyterial_a he_o know_v little_a in_o history_n who_o know_v not_o that_o man_n of_o different_a religion_n have_v be_v suffer_v and_o tolerate_v to_o enjoy_v their_o conscience_n yea_o even_o among_o heathen_n how_o much_o more_o when_o the_o difference_n be_v only_o in_o small_a thing_n state_n lose_v nothing_o by_o preserve_v the_o liberty_n of_o man_n conscience_n in_o france_n the_o protestant_n be_v account_v the_o best_a subject_n they_o be_v tolerate_v contrary_a to_o the_o public_a government_n of_o the_o state_n yet_o be_v not_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o well_o be_v and_o flourish_a condition_n of_o it_o and_o sure_o even_a papist_n will_v rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o we_o who_o suffer_v those_o who_o be_v contrary_a to_o their_o principle_n and_o religion_n to_o enjoy_v their_o conscience_n if_o we_o shall_v not_o suffer_v these_o who_o differ_v not_o in_o religion_n absolute_o but_o in_o point_n of_o lesser_a consequence_n to_o enjoy_v their_o liberty_n among_o we_o if_o upon_o trial_n it_o prove_v inconsistent_a with_o state_n then_o may_v the_o magistrate_n curb_v they_o but_o this_o be_v the_o fear_n you_o will_v say_v lest_o they_o grow_v to_o a_o party_n and_o be_v too_o strong_a for_o the_o magistrate_n first_o it_o be_v against_o their_o principle_n to_o have_v any_o hand_n in_o oppose_v the_o magistrate_n to_o keep_v up_o their_o own_o privilege_n yet_o second_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thought_n which_o their_o soul_n abhor_v yet_o there_o be_v many_o eye_n over_o they_o who_o will_v watch_v they_o close_o enough_o to_o take_v the_o least_o advantage_n against_o they_o whereby_o to_o bring_v they_o into_o bondage_n beside_o they_o be_v the_o small_a and_o most_o contemptible_a party_n in_o the_o kingdom_n this_o may_v as_o much_o nay_o more_o probable_o be_v fear_v of_o the_o presbytery_n who_o be_v more_o numerous_a and_o of_o great_a sway_n and_o we_o say_v the_o same_o who_o shall_v restrain_v they_o and_o what_o if_o they_o take_v distaste_n against_o the_o proceed_n of_o parliament_n or_o the_o like_a have_v get_v so_o much_o power_n in_o the_o kingdom_n what_o will_v become_v of_o thing_n then_o the_o state_n give_v not_o presbytery_n any_o power_n but_o that_o it_o suppose_v it_o be_v able_a to_o restrain_v and_o overtop_v they_o if_o they_o offend_v and_o grow_v insolent_a and_o it_o may_v on_o the_o same_o consideration_n give_v a_o toleration_n unto_o other_o know_v that_o when_o ever_o it_o break_v out_o it_o can_v soon_o check_v and_o bind_v they_o beside_o as_o master_n pryn_n say_v himself_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o not_o to_o be_v presume_v of_o before_o it_o be_v actual_o commit_v but_o yet_o further_o that_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o indulgence_n unto_o such_o as_o differ_v in_o lesser_a matter_n for_o to_o that_o i_o only_o speak_v now_o first_o that_o natural_a right_n we_o have_v to_o the_o kingdom_n though_o i_o will_v not_o urge_v it_o as_o a_o argument_n as_o well_o as_o the_o presbyterian_o that_o cry_v loud_a for_o it_o we_o be_v man_n as_o free_v bear_v as_o they_o have_v as_o great_a interest_n here_o as_o they_o nay_o many_o of_o we_o have_v be_v former_o deprive_v of_o their_o liberty_n while_o other_o do_v eat_v the_o sweet_a and_o drink_v the_o fat_a at_o home_n yea_o further_o we_o have_v engage_v ourselves_o in_o get_v a_o settle_a peace_n
