A49183	An apology for the ministers who subscribed only unto the stating of the truths and errours in Mr. William's book shewing, that the Gospel which they preach, is the old everlasting Gospel of Christ, and vindicating them from the calumnies, wherewith they (especially the younger sort of them) have been unjustly aspersed by the letter from a minister in the city, to a minister in the countrey.	Lorimer, William, d. 1721.	1694 (1694)	Wing L3073; ESTC R22599	321,667	222

we_o do_v and_o always_o do_v what_o reason_n have_v he_o to_o make_v such_o a_o clamour_n and_o with_o what_o conscience_n do_v he_o tell_v the_o world_n that_o his_o brethren_n the_o non_fw-fr conformist_n especial_o the_o young_a sort_n of_o they_o be_v dangerous_o erroneous_a in_o the_o fundamental_a point_n of_o justification_n be_v it_o a_o light_a matter_n with_o he_o to_o traduce_v the_o faithful_a minister_n of_o christ_n for_o our_o part_n we_o dare_v not_o have_v do_v so_o by_o he_o or_o any_o of_o his_o consort_n without_o as_o clear_a evidence_n as_o a_o matter_n of_o fact_n of_o that_o nature_n be_v capable_a of_o and_o without_o produce_v our_o evidence_n too_o which_o he_o have_v not_o do_v in_o his_o letter_n nor_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o be_v do_v for_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v most_o certain_o and_o evident_o false_a and_o we_o will_v yet_o hope_v that_o he_o will_v have_v a_o better_a opinion_n of_o his_o brethren_n and_o be_v sorry_a for_o the_o wrong_n he_o have_v do_v they_o when_o he_o shall_v understand_v that_o they_o be_v far_o from_o be_v the_o man_n he_o affirm_v they_o to_o be_v and_o that_o they_o willing_o accept_v of_o the_o test_n which_o he_o himself_o offer_v in_o order_n to_o a_o agreement_n not_o as_o if_o they_o have_v change_v their_o judgement_n upon_o the_o read_n of_o his_o letter_n which_o be_v more_o likely_a to_o make_v proselyte_n of_o weak_a well_o mean_v woman_n than_o of_o man_n of_o understanding_n but_o because_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o judgement_n before_o and_o now_o declare_v it_o that_o the_o world_n and_o he_o may_v see_v how_o injurious_a he_o have_v be_v to_o his_o brethren_n but_o though_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o agree_v with_o he_o in_o the_o foresay_a article_n of_o the_o assembly_n confession_n of_o faith_n yet_o it_o be_v upon_o condition_n that_o he_o will_v assent_v to_o the_o assembly_n word_n in_o their_o plain_n and_o genuine_a sense_n aforesaid_a as_o we_o also_o do_v and_o that_o this_o shall_v not_o be_v account_v a_o agreement_n with_o he_o in_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o letter_n for_o we_o hope_v by_o the_o help_n of_o our_o god_n and_o saviour_n never_o to_o agree_v unto_o many_o thing_n in_o his_o letter_n because_o they_o be_v neither_o consistent_a with_o the_o purity_n of_o faith_n nor_o with_o the_o sincerity_n of_o love_n we_o be_v indeed_o willing_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v know_v to_o the_o real_a and_o right_a antinomian_o that_o he_o be_v none_o of_o they_o if_o he_o will_v stand_v to_o several_a passage_n in_o his_o

what_o he_o there_o own_v for_o truth_n we_o shall_v be_v willing_a and_o ready_a as_o we_o have_v occasion_n to_o vindicate_v he_o from_o be_v a_o antinomian_a in_o principle_n but_o we_o can_v

long_o as_o he_o approve_v of_o those_o passage_n in_o his_o letter_n whereby_o he_o have_v false_o accuse_v and_o traduce_v his_o brethren_n and_o represent_v they_o to_o the_o world_n as_o

correct_v some_o of_o those_o gross_a mistake_n that_o occur_v up_o and_o down_o in_o his_o letter_n and_o to_o let_v people_n see_v that_o some_o have_v be_v too_o forward_o to_o receive_v for_o

not_o true_a for_o sure_o it_o be_v part_n of_o his_o design_n to_o give_v a_o full_a information_n to_o his_o brother_n in_o the_o country_n who_o be_v as_o he_o say_v a_o minister_n we_o presume_v
