person_n who_o remember_v to_o have_v hear_v it_o once_o mention_v in_o the_o assembly_n so_o that_o we_o owe_v the_o knowledge_n thereof_o only_o to_o the_o presbytery_n of_o dalkeith_n who_o late_o declare_v it_o upon_o this_o occasion_n they_o send_v one_o or_o two_o of_o their_o number_n sometime_o ago_o to_o the_o parish_n of_o inverask_n which_o lie_v within_o four_o mile_n of_o edinburgh_n to_o entreat_v they_o to_o choose_v a_o minister_n and_o because_o this_o people_n unanimous_o show_v their_o aversion_n to_o a_o presbyterian_a for_o of_o three_o or_o four_o thousand_o in_o that_o parish_n there_o be_v only_o some_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o that_o incline_v to_o that_o party_n therefore_o there_o be_v a_o promise_n make_v they_o that_o if_o they_o make_v choice_n of_o any_o good_a or_o pious_a man_n who_o will_v submit_v to_o the_o civil_a government_n he_o shall_v be_v accept_v of_o whether_o he_o be_v a_o presbyterian_a or_o episcopal_a whether_o the_o person_n who_o promise_v this_o speak_v ingenuous_o his_o own_o sentiment_n or_o the_o mind_n of_o his_o brethren_n whether_o it_o be_v say_v only_o to_o dispose_v the_o people_n to_o be_v more_o favourable_o incline_v towards_o the_o presbytery_n of_o dalkeith_n or_o because_o they_o see_v it_o impossible_a to_o to_o get_v their_o consent_n to_o a_o presbyterian_a minister_n i_o shall_v not_o inquire_v but_o the_o parish_n lay_v hold_v on_o this_o promise_n and_o according_o do_v commissionate_a some_o of_o their_o number_n to_o wait_v upon_o the_o presbytery_n of_o dalkeith_n with_o a_o list_n of_o seven_o or_o eight_o person_n episcopal_a minister_n who_o have_v submit_v to_o the_o civil_a government_n and_o to_o entreat_v their_o allowance_n for_o their_o preach_v to_o they_o according_a to_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v make_v that_o such_o of_o they_o as_o please_v the_o parish_n best_o may_v be_v call_v to_o be_v their_o minister_n when_o this_o be_v first_o propose_v the_o moderator_n huff_v and_o grow_v angry_a and_o ask_v if_o they_o come_v to_o abuse_v and_o reproach_v the_o brethren_n the_o gentleman_n reply_v they_o design_v not_o to_o abuse_v any_o that_o what_o they_o allege_v be_v true_a and_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o prove_v it_o or_o they_o will_v appeal_v to_o the_o person_n themselves_o who_o have_v say_v it_o then_o the_o moderator_n tell_v they_o that_o if_o any_o brother_n have_v say_v or_o promise_v so_o he_o have_v do_v it_o rash_o of_o his_o own_o head_n and_o will_v receive_v a_o reprimand_n from_o the_o presbytery_n for_o it_o that_o the_o presbytery_n can_v allow_v of_o no_o such_o thing_n for_o there_o be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o assembly_n forbid_v episcopal_a incumbent_n to_o preach_v out_o of_o their_o own_o church_n or_o people_n to_o give_v they_o a_o call_v so_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o this_o invisible_a act_n and_o in_o all_o appearance_n of_o their_o own_o devise_v they_o shift_v the_o promise_n make_v to_o the_o parish_n of_o inverask_n it_o be_v say_v at_o that_o time_n that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o act_n in_o all_o the_o history_n of_o the_o assembly_n to_o which_o it_o be_v reply_v that_o if_o it_o be_v not_o print_v it_o will_v be_v print_v very_o short_o which_o i_o have_v do_v lest_o the_o honest_a man_n shall_v fail_v in_o his_o word_n before_o i_o leave_v their_o act_n it_o will_v be_v fit_a to_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o a_o act_n which_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o historical_a relation_n of_o the_o assembly_n viz._n a_o act_n which_o prohibit_v private_a use_n and_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n on_o any_o account_n whatsoever_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o act_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v remark_v the_o first_o of_o they_o be_v that_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o this_o church_n in_o her_o former_a assembly_n the_o private_a use_n of_o they_o have_v be_v condemn_v which_o bring_v to_o my_o remembrance_n the_o character_n that_o the_o reverend_n and_o pious_a bishop_n leighton_n be_v wont_a to_o give_v of_o the_o presbyterian_o viz._n that_o they_o make_v themselves_o the_o standard_n of_o opinion_n and_o practice_n and_o never_o look_v either_o abroad_o into_o the_o world_n to_o see_v what_o other_o be_v do_v nor_o yet_o back_o into_o the_o former_a time_n to_o observe_v what_o may_v be_v warrant_v or_o recommend_v by_o antiquity_n and_o as_o by_o this_o mean_n they_o become_v singular_a in_o many_o thing_n so_o in_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n they_o differ_v from_o all_o other_o church_n in_o the_o world_n all_o the_o reform_a church_n abroad_o allow_v the_o use_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n to_o sick_a and_o die_a person_n which_o they_o have_v peremptory_o prohibit_v as_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o ordinary_a in_o the_o primitive_a time_n which_o may_v be_v make_v appear_v from_o several_a instance_n it_o be_v from_o this_o practice_n that_o it_o receive_v the_o name_n of_o viaticum_fw-la and_o see_v our_o bless_a lord_n do_v institute_v this_o holy_a sacrament_n for_o the_o commemorate_n his_o death_n and_o for_o the_o convey_v the_o bless_a effect_n of_o it_o to_o strengthen_v our_o faith_n and_o hope_n and_o to_o assure_v we_o of_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o of_o a_o victory_n over_o death_n and_o hell_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o may_v be_v true_o think_v great_a cruelty_n to_o deny_v this_o sensible_a consort_n to_o sick_a and_o die_a person_n because_o they_o stand_v most_o in_o need_n of_o it_o for_o than_o it_o be_v they_o have_v the_o deep_a sense_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o the_o great_a fear_n of_o death_n and_o its_o consequence_n the_o other_o reason_n give_v by_o they_o for_o this_o prohibition_n be_v that_o by_o allow_v the_o private_a use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o pretend_a case_n of_o necessity_n the_o superstitious_a opinion_n be_v nourish_v that_o they_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n not_o only_o as_o command_v duty_n but_o as_o mean_n without_o which_o salvation_n can_v be_v contain_v therefore_o the_o assembly_n discharge_v the_o administration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n to_o sick_a person_n in_o their_o house_n and_o all_o other_o use_n of_o the_o same_o except_o in_o the_o public_a assembly_n of_o the_o church_n and_o also_o do_v discharge_v the_o administration_n of_o baptism_n in_o private_a that_o be_v in_o any_o

these_o particular_n first_o that_o they_o deny_v the_o comfort_n and_o benefit_n of_o christ_n own_o ordinance_n to_o some_o because_o other_o entertain_v wrong_a notion_n of_o they_o which_o may_v be_v more_o safe_o remove_v by_o public_a and_o private_a instruction_n second_o that_o they_o restrain_v the_o use_n of_o christ_n ordinance_n to_o time_n and_o place_n without_o any_o divine_a
