shall_v rather_o be_v take_v up_o with_o admire_v and_o bless_v god_n goodness_n to_o we_o for_o what_o he_o show_v we_o then_o in_o censure_v our_o brethren_n for_o what_o he_o have_v deny_v they_o four_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o not_o long_o since_o we_o be_v our_o self_n of_o another_o mind_n &_o yet_o we_o sin_v not_o against_o our_o light_n 5_o we_o must_v consider_v also_o that_o in_o other_o thing_n our_o brethren_n see_v what_o they_o do_v not_o and_o we_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o have_v such_o measure_n from_o they_o luther_n that_o they_o shall_v judge_v we_o go_v against_o our_o light_n and_o to_o be_v act_v by_o byend_n in_o that_o we_o differ_v from_o they_o we_o must_v grant_v that_o liberty_n to_o our_o brethren_n we_o will_v have_v ourselves_o that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v involve_v in_o the_o judgement_n of_o other_o but_o try_v all_o thing_n and_o keep_v what_o god_n make_v know_v to_o we_o to_o be_v good_a this_o liberty_n say_v luther_n paul_n have_v give_v i_o &_o i_o will_v stand_v to_o it_o i_o will_v not_o suffer_v it_o to_o be_v captivate_v the_o nine_o divide_v principle_n rule_n of_o prudence_n be_v sufficient_a to_o guide_v we_o in_o natural_a thing_n and_o civil_a affair_n and_o may_v as_o well_o suffice_v we_o in_o spiritual_a and_o church-affaire_n a_o great_a part_n of_o our_o division_n about_o church-affair_n come_v from_o this_o principle_n if_o god_n will_v help_v we_o with_o right_a apprehension_n about_o t●is_n our_o division_n will_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n vanish_v those_o who_o conscience_n be_v take_v with_o a_o contrary_a principle_n namely_o that_o there_o must_v be_v institution_n for_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v proper_o ecclesiastical_a and_o spiritual_a they_o can_v yield_v to_o any_o such_o thing_n till_o they_o see_v the_o stamp_n on_o a_o institution_n upon_o it_o other_o who_o think_v because_o prudence_n be_v enough_o to_o order_v civil_a affair_n there_o need_v no_o institution_n for_o these_o thing_n they_o think_v such_o as_o stand_v for_o they_o to_o be_v too_o rigid_a and_o stiff_a in_o their_o way_n it_o divide_v also_o upon_o this_o ground_n in_o the_o corrupt_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n such_o as_o we_o yet_o be_v if_o we_o bind_v to_o institution_n we_o shall_v be_v sore_o pinch_v with_o many_o thing_n that_o will_v be_v very_o troublesome_a to_o we_o but_o if_o we_o go_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o common_a prudence_n we_o may_v decline_v or_o alter_v what_o will_v pinch_v &_o take_v up_o what_o may_v be_v commodious_a for_o we_o hence_o the_o principle_n be_v very_o desirable_a if_o it_o can_v be_v maintain_v man_n will_v strive_v hard_a before_o they_o will_v lose_v it_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n god_n be_v look_v at_o as_o a_o jealous_a god_n who_o will_v not_o suffer_v a_o man_n wisdom_n to_o share_v with_o he_o in_o the_o thing_n of_o his_o worship_n which_o be_v spiritual_a and_o holy_a to_o appoint_v and_o leave_v out_o as_o may_v be_v most_o commodious_a for_o the_o freedom_n of_o they_o from_o trouble_n therefore_o they_o dare_v not_o yield_v to_o any_o ordinance_n that_o be_v beyond_o civil_a but_o upon_o some_o institution_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o word_n and_o this_o divide_v now_o for_o your_o help_n in_o this_o as_o god_n have_v give_v two_o light_n to_o the_o world_n the_o sun_n the_o grater_n to_o rule_v the_o day_n and_o the_o moon_n the_o lesser_a to_o rule_v the_o night_n so_o he_o have_v give_v two_o light_n to_o man_n to_o guide_v his_o course_n the_o scripture_n the_o great_a to_o guide_v man_n especial_o in_o his_o spiritual_a condition_n in_o those_o more_o immediate_a reference_n he_o have_v to_o god_n for_o his_o worship_n and_o enjoyment_n of_o communion_n with_o he_o the_o other_o the_o less_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n to_o be_v his_o guide_n in_o natural_a and_o civil_a thing_n in_o the_o order_n his_o life_n for_o his_o natural_a and_o civil_a good_a and_o though_o it_o be_v true_a religion_n make_v use_v of_o reason_n and_o we_o have_v help_v from_o the_o scripture_n in_o our_o natural_a and_o civil_a affair_n yet_o these_o two_o light_n have_v their_o distinct_a special_a use_n according_a to_o those_o distinct_a condition_n of_o man_n when_o i_o say_v for_o we_o must_v have_v scripture_n and_o in_o it_o institution_n for_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v spiritual_a and_o proper_o church-affair_n i_o mean_v whatsoever_o be_v make_v use_n of_o for_o the_o draw_v my_o soul_n near_o to_o god_n or_o god_n near_o to_o i_o or_o for_o the_o tender_v up_o my_o homage_n to_o god_n beyond_o what_o it_o have_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n put_v into_o it_o by_o god_n for_o that_o i_o must_v have_v a_o institution_n i_o must_v not_o frame_v any_o such_o thing_n to_o myself_o if_o i_o make_v use_n of_o any_o thing_n of_o my_o own_o for_o such_o a_o end_n that_o i_o may_v worship_n god_n by_o or_o that_o god_n may_v convey_v some_o spiritual_a efficacy_n to_o i_o in_o the_o use_n of_o it_o because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o i_o think_v as_o fit_v for_o such_o a_o end_n as_o other_o ordinance_n i_o find_v in_o the_o word_n and_o yet_o have_v not_o a_o institution_n for_o it_o in_o this_o i_o sin_n against_o christ_n the_o lord_n who_o alone_o have_v power_n to_o set_v apart_o the_o use_n of_o what_o he_o please_v for_o the_o tender_v up_o homage_n to_o god_n or_o the_o convey_n of_o any_o spiritual_a efficacy_n from_o god_n into_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o servant_n man_n natural_a and_o civil_a good_a be_v not_o so_o high_a but_o reason_n and_o prudence_n will_v reach_v they_o but_o for_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o be_v all_o the_o reason_n &_o prudence_n in_o the_o world_n lie_v too_o low_a they_o can_v not_o without_o sinful_a presumption_n attempt_v the_o put_v any_o thing_n of_o their_o own_o in_o the_o place_n of_o these_o therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o officer_n in_o the_o church_n to_o act_v by_o any_o spiritual_a power_n than_o what_o we_o find_v in_o the_o word_n no_o new_a ordinance_n no_o new_a court_n erect_v no_o kind_n of_o authority_n no_o extent_n of_o authority_n any_o further_a than_o we_o find_v in_o scripture_n the_o proof_n be_v evident_a all_o church_n ordinance_n be_v for_o spiritual_a end_n to_o work_v by_o a_o spiritual_a efficacy_n beyond_o what_o be_v natural_a or_o civil_a and_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o power_n of_o government_n consist_v much_o in_o those_o who_o govern_v if_o they_o have_v not_o their_o charter_n to_o authorise_v their_o power_n and_o the_o extent_n of_o it_o it_o lose_v its_o efficacy_n though_o it_o be_v otherwise_o manage_v with_o never_o so_o much_o wisdom_n and_o justice_n the_o same_o act_n that_o be_v a_o act_n of_o justice_n in_o one_o be_v murder_n in_o another_o yea_o the_o same_o man_n act_n do_v within_o such_o limit_n be_v a_o act_n of_o justice_n and_o if_o do_v beyond_o those_o limit_n it_o be_v murder_n but_o you_o will_v say_v sure_o there_o be_v use_v of_o reason_n and_o prudence_n in_o matter_n spiritual_a how_o far_o may_v their_o use_n extend_v to_o the_o do_v of_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o answ_n by_o reason_n i_o may_v compare_v institution_n and_o argue_v from_o one_o institution_n to_o another_o and_o so_o find_v out_o institution_n that_o lie_v more_o in_o the_o da●k_n by_o other_o which_o be_v more_o apparent_a though_o the_o thing_n that_o i_o gather_v be_v not_o terminis_fw-la in_o scripture_n yet_o if_o i_o gather_v by_o necessary_a consequence_n from_o a_o institution_n one_o or_o more_o it_o have_v the_o force_n of_o a_o institution_n in_o it_o if_o i_o make_v reason_n to_o be_v the_o basis_n the_o ground_n of_o my_o consequence_n it_o will_v never_o rise_v up_o to_o that_o height_n as_o to_o raise_v a_o institution_n but_o if_o i_o make_v some_o other_o institution_n the_o basis_n of_o my_o consequence_n than_o it_o may_v second_o when_o i_o have_v find_v out_o a_o institution_n than_o reason_n &_o prudence_n come_v in_o to_o help_v to_o manage_v this_o in_o a_o fit_a and_o com●ly_a way_n apply_v it_o to_o fit_a person_n and_o time_n
