A51171	A short answer to several questions proposed to a gentleman of quality by a great minister of state not unfit for these times of our continuing divisions, though written when a general indulgence of all opinions was endeavoured to be obtained : shewing the authors judgement concerning the publick exercise of several religions and forms of worship, either upon pious or prudential grounds, under one and the same government : as they may relate both to discipline and doctrine, ceremonials or essentials in worship.	Monson, John, Sir, 1600-1683.	1678 (1678)	Wing M2463; ESTC R8157	17,665	24

of_o the_o article_n and_o the_o eminent_a man_n of_o our_o church_n in_o succession_n have_v ever_o declare_v their_o judgement_n of_o they_o concern_v election_n justification_n renovation_n faith_n good_a work_n final_a perseverance_n and_o apostasy_n in_o all_o their_o write_n and_o sermon_n upon_o those_o subject_n to_o be_v otherways_o some_o few_o except_v and_o those_o of_o late_a year_n and_o do_v all_o agree_v in_o a_o harmony_n of_o doctrine_n with_o most_o of_o the_o reform_a church_n abroad_o in_o those_o tenant_n as_o bishop_n cranmer_n ridley_n parker_n bale_n jewel_n bilson_n

infinite_a other_o in_o their_o treatise_n upon_o those_o subject_n though_o some_o of_o they_o differ_v about_o the_o object_n of_o election_n so_o as_o the_o other_o novelist_n who_o author_n have_v now_o a_o great_a possession_n of_o our_o pulpit_n by_o the_o favour_n of_o those_o that_o design_v the_o introduce_v of_o their_o error_n do_v now_o by_o scandalous_a imputation_n of_o dangerous_a doctrine_n to_o other_o magisterial_o condemn_v our_o orthodox_n tenant_n and_o by_o it_o though_o they_o press_v outward_a conformity_n and_o communion_n i_o believe_v be_v the_o great_a disturber_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o our_o church_n and_o cause_n of_o keep_v many_o of_o our_o anti-ceremonial_a separatist_n from_o join_v with_o we_o error_n in_o doctrine_n affright_v they_o more_o than_o other_o circumstantial_a thing_n and_o make_v they_o look_v upon_o we_o as_o a_o apostatise_v church_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v wish_v some_o care_n be_v take_v to_o conform_v they_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o article_n of_o our_o church_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o to_o her_o discipline_n at_o least_o to_o silence_v their_o pen_n and_o preach_v upon_o those_o subject_n according_a to_o former_a declaration_n of_o the_o late_a king_n of_o bless_a memory_n as_o they_o be_v more_o dangerous_a as_o be_v conceive_v to_o undermine_v our_o church_n in_o her_o purity_n of_o doctrine_n than_o the_o papist_n themselves_z in_o that_o they_o have_v the_o countenance_n of_o authority_n and_o insinuate_v their_o opinion_n by_o near_a approach_n to_o the_o truth_n and_o less_o dangerous_a consequence_n to_o the_o civil_a power_n than_o the_o other_o though_o some_o of_o they_o have_v endeavour_v seem_o to_o preach_v though_o not_o force_v we_o out_o of_o our_o propriety_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o king_n power_n and_o right_n in_o they_o and_o may_v do_v mischief_n do_v not_o the_o goodness_n both_o of_o our_o sovereign_n and_o law_n secure_v our_o interest_n and_o provide_v against_o the_o spread_a of_o such_o error_n as_o well_o as_o those_o of_o the_o papist_n and_o sectary_n if_o due_o execute_v in_o order_n to_o which_o for_o my_o own_o judgement_n i_o believe_v that_o if_o the_o law_n be_v few_o and_o less_o penal_a they_o will_v prove_v more_o effectual_a in_o that_o great_a suffering_n move_v commiseration_n and_o remissness_n in_o those_o that_o shall_v instrumental_o execute_v they_o especial_o where_o the_o severity_n reach_v to_o the_o undo_n of_o family_n as_o in_o case_n of_o recusancy_n for_o a_o negative_a disobedience_n in_o not_o come_v to_o church_n when_o mild_a punishment_n will_v be_v more_o christian_n and_o perhaps_o more_o successful_a in_o order_n to_o their_o compliance_n but_o for_o the_o restrictive_a part_n of_o law_n that_o secure_v our_o peace_n and_o church_n hinder_v factious_a seditious_a meeting_n conventicle_n or_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v countenance_n or_o spread_v any_o erroneous_a opinion_n especial_o those_o of_o the_o papist_n i_o think_v they_o can_v be_v too_o severe_a nor_o too_o quick_a in_o find_v out_o way_n to_o discriminate_a such_o of_o they_o as_o be_v bosom_n and_o conceal_a enemy_n to_o our_o religion_n and_o law_n still_o among_o we_o yet_o i_o wish_v it_o not_o so_o much_o for_o their_o punishment_n as_o our_o own_o security_n the_o exclude_v they_o upon_o such_o a_o discovery_n from_o all_o place_n of_o trust_n or_o power_n that_o have_v any_o influence_n upon_o our_o government_n but_o not_o from_o the_o charge_n of_o those_o that_o be_v in_o themselves_o penal_a and_o for_o that_o end_n i_o will_v humble_o propose_v some_o law_n to_o be_v make_v to_o the_o effect_n follow_v 1._o that_o all_o person_n suspect_v of_o recusancy_n or_o separation_n from_o our_o church_n be_v present_v for_o such_o at_o any_o quarter-session_n where_o they_o live_v or_o be_v think_v fit_a by_o the_o session_n original_o without_o presentment_n to_o be_v summon_v thither_o shall_v upon_o notice_n appear_v at_o the_o next_o session_n after_o there_o hold_v and_o there_o acquit_v themselves_o both_o by_o proof_n upon_o oath_n of_o have_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n in_o their_o several_a parish-church_n as_o the_o law_n require_v and_o take_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n then_o in_o open_a session_n or_o have_v a_o conviction_n of_o recusancy_n record_v against_o they_o as_o to_o the_o end_n before_o mention_v but_o not_o to_o the_o forfeiture_n of_o their_o estate_n unless_o otherways_o proceed_v against_o upon_o other_o penal_a law_n that_o shall_v continue_v in_o force_n which_o will_v both_o unmask_v and_o disarm_v they_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o power_n to_o hurt_v we_o and_o be_v a_o speedy_a and_o merciful_a way_n for_o their_o discrimination_n 2._o that_o all_o beneficed_a parson_n and_o lecturer_n shall_v once_o in_o every_o three_o month_n be_v oblige_v to_o read_v the_o article_n of_o our_o church_n in_o their_o desk_n or_o pulpit_n before_o or_o after_o divine_a service_n in_o the_o audience_n of_o the_o congregation_n and_o there_o make_v their_o solemn_a protestation_n before_o god_n of_o their_o consent_n and_o submission_n to_o they_o and_o our_o homily_n and_o common_a prayer_n as_o contain_v the_o doctrine_n and_o devotion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o that_o in_o their_o most_o literal_a and_o genuine_a sense_n which_o will_v much_o remove_v jealousy_n silence_n clamour_n and_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o test_n that_o design_n and_o open_o wish_v a_o alteration_n of_o they_o and_o further_o to_o prevent_v all_o the_o aforementioned_a and_o grow_a mischief_n it_o be_v well_o if_o some_o further_a test_n can_v be_v find_v out_o to_o unscreen_n and_o lay_v open_a to_o exception_n such_o person_n as_o by_o their_o excellent_a part_n and_o morality_n gain_v reputation_n to_o their_o erroneous_a opinion_n and_o have_v in_o effect_n eclipse_v and_o much_o lessen_v the_o grace_n and_o glory_n of_o christ_n by_o make_v grace_n and_o virtue_n convertible_a and_o advance_v natural_a religion_n at_o least_o to_o a_o share_n in_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n whereas_o though_o our_o church_n teach_v the_o same_o necessity_n of_o a_o good_a moral_a and_o pious_a life_n that_o they_o also_o assert_v as_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o a_o lively_a faith_n yet_o she_o hold_v we_o be_v save_v by_o faith_n alone_o though_o not_o by_o faith_n that_o be_v alone_o without_o produce_v good_a work_n moral_a obedience_n with_o inward_a sanctification_n be_v the_o only_a evidence_n and_o ground_n of_o a_o christian_n comfort_n according_a to_o the_o article_n of_o our_o church_n and_o i_o think_v suspension_n both_o ab_fw-la officio_fw-la and_o beneficio_fw-la be_v too_o little_a for_o such_o as_o own_o their_o mother_n and_o yet_o wilful_o rebel_v against_o her_o determination_n and_o scandalous_o defame_v by_o satirical_a invective_n those_o that_o have_v be_v most_o eminent_a in_o the_o reformation_n and_o in_o our_o church_n ever_o since_o or_o by_o bold_a untruth_n will_v make_v some_o of_o the_o most_o considerable_a among_o we_o to_o patronize_v error_n nay_o represent_v st._n augustine_n himself_o as_o more_o pious_a than_o rational_a though_o one_o of_o the_o great_a light_n and_o most-to-be_a reverence_v person_n both_o for_o prudence_n knowledge_n morality_n piety_n learning_n clearness_n of_o judgement_n and_o indefatigable_a industry_n that_o ever_o live_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n since_o the_o

so_o far_o as_o they_o depart_v not_o from_o his_o principle_n concern_v election_n faith_n justification_n sanctification_n and_o good_a work_n though_o it_o be_v now_o by_o some_o make_v a_o
