we_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o go_v to_o law_n with_o one_o another_o before_o those_o that_o be_v without_o for_o temporal_a thing_n much_o less_o about_o spiritual_a thing_n for_o the_o apostle_n have_v declare_v that_o the_o saint_n shall_v judge_v the_o world_n yea_o the_o angel_n if_o this_o be_v true_a as_o no_o understanding_n man_n can_v deny_v than_o it_o will_v be_v a_o more_o greivious_a sin_n and_o woeful_a adultery_n for_o the_o spouse_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o seek_v or_o sue_v to_o a_o power_n that_o be_v neither_o jure_fw-la divino_fw-la nor_o jure_fw-la humano_fw-la and_o now_o i_o will_v speak_v something_o to_o these_o your_o 8._o reason_n against_o toleration_n though_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o other_o in_o the_o first_o book_n and_o so_o have_v be_v answer_v already_o yet_o to_o satisfy_v the_o reader_n more_o full_o i_o will_v here_o give_v answer_n unto_o they_o particular_o but_o i_o will_v have_v you_o and_o all_o man_n know_v that_o i_o do_v not_o neither_o do_v any_o that_o be_v true_o religious_a plead_v for_o such_o a_o toleration_n as_o you_o will_v father_n upon_o we_o even_o a_o toleration_n to_o sin_n we_o plead_v not_o for_o a_o toleration_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o person_n who_o be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o that_o be_v to_o plead_v for_o a_o toleration_n for_o thief_n and_o murderer_n and_o adulterer_n and_o sabbath-breaker_n and_o all_o sort_n of_o wicked_a liver_n that_o all_o man_n may_v do_v as_o they_o list_v but_o the_o thing_n we_o plead_v for_o be_v a_o peaceable_a enjoyment_n of_o our_o liberty_n to_o worship_n god_n public_o according_a to_o his_o reveal_a word_n most_o especial_o upon_o that_o time_n institute_v for_o his_o public_a worship_n even_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o that_o all_o the_o 6._o day_n we_o may_v follow_v our_o calling_n without_o fear_n of_o the_o execution_n of_o such_o unjust_a law_n which_o former_a parliament_n have_v make_v against_o such_o who_o will_v not_o come_v to_o their_o common_a prayer_n book_n or_o submit_v to_o all_o the_o order_n of_o the_o parish_n of_o england_n for_o such_o a_o toleration_n as_o this_o we_o plead_v in_o your_o first_o reason_n you_o affirm_v that_o a_o toleration_n of_o independent_a church_n and_o government_n with_o their_o opinion_n and_o practice_n be_v against_o the_o magistrate_n duty_n lay_v down_o in_o the_o scripture_n but_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o to_o be_v the_o magistrate_n duty_n to_o tolerate_v the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o those_o practice_n which_o be_v according_a to_o the_o word_n but_o you_o will_v insinuate_v still_o your_o old_a slander_n that_o we_o plead_v for_o a_o toleration_n of_o heresy_n and_o schism_n which_o we_o know_v be_v against_o the_o magistrate_n duty_n and_o this_o make_v against_o your_o evil_a way_n for_o if_o a_o parliament_n may_v not_o as_o you_o say_v displease_v god_n to_o please_v man_n nor_o wink_v at_o evil_n to_o content_v some_o person_n and_o if_o parliament_n in_o make_v law_n for_o religion_n must_v depend_v on_o the_o will_n of_o god_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n and_o not_o upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o some_o people_n then_o it_o be_v dangerous_a for_o a_o parliament_n to_o constrain_v man_n to_o submit_v to_o the_o decree_n of_o a_o synod_n or_o presbytery_n when_o neither_o the_o presbytery_n nor_o their_o decree_n have_v ground_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n your_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o toleration_n desire_v be_v against_o the_o solemn_a league_n and_o covenant_n take_v by_o the_o parliament_n and_o kingdom_n and_o therefore_o the_o toleration_n desire_z come_v to_o late_a the_o door_n be_v shut_v ans._n here_o you_o lay_v a_o fearful_a aspersion_n upon_o the_o parliament_n for_o require_v such_o a_o oath_n and_o covenant_n persecute_v as_o if_o they_o intend_v to_o shut_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o true_a worship_n out_o of_o the_o three_o kingdom_n for_o you_o say_v further_o if_o the_o toleration_n be_v lawful_a in_o itself_o yet_o because_o of_o the_o oath_n and_o covenant_n it_o be_v unlawful_a though_o it_o may_v have_v be_v grant_v before_o it_o can_v be_v grant_v now_o lest_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v guilty_a before_o god_n of_o covenant_n break_v ans._n sure_o you_o will_v make_v the_o parliament_n all_o like_o herod_n 26._o they_o must_v take_v poor_a john_n baptist_n head_n off_o because_o of_o their_o oath_n but_o be_v this_o oath_n so_o foul_a as_o you_o will_v make_v it_o and_o yet_o be_v it_o like_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o mede_n and_o persian_n that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v alter_v wellsgod_o can_v deliver_v *_o 6._o poor_a daniel_n in_o the_o lion_n den_n and_o it_o may_v be_v you_o shall_v come_v in_o our_o stead_n when_o once_o the_o parliament_n discern_v your_o wicked_a intention_n ☞_o but_o mr._n edwards_n bethink_v yourself_o will_v not_o you_o blush_v and_o be_v ashamed_a to_o give_v in_o the_o oath_n in_o these_o term_n as_o you_o have_v ever_o express_v it_o in_o this_o your_o second_o reason_n pag._n 283._o that_o we_o be_v to_o endeavour_v the_o reformation_n of_o religion_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n and_o ireland_n in_o doctrine_n worship_n government_n and_o discipline_n according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n forget_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v set_v before_o you_o as_o it_o be_v indeed_o by_o the_o parliament_n but_o you_o deal_v by_o the_o covenant_n ☞_o as_o you_o deal_v by_o the_o scripture_n hack_v they_o and_o mangle_v and_o labour_n to_o make_v they_o fit_a for_o your_o own_o turn_n and_o yet_o you_o jeer_v the_o apologist_n when_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o way_n and_o practise_v of_o their_o church_n because_o they_o do_v not_o name_v the_o law_n or_o o●d_fw-mi testament_n in_o express_v word_n though_o they_o in_o the_o same_o place_n testify_v that_o they_o reverence_v and_o adore_v the_o fullness_n of_o scripture_n and_o their_o sufficiency_n to_o make_v we_o perfect_a etc._n etc._n but_o here_o you_o have_v shameful_o forget_v yourself_o and_o overslip_v both_o law_n and_o gospel_n and_o so_o tie_v yourselves_o to_o man_n pattern_n without_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o sure_o i_o can_v believe_v that_o the_o parliament_n have_v covenant_v so_o as_o you_o infer_v in_o the_o same_o page_n of_o your_o book_n how_o say_v you_o can_v they_o grant_v a_o toleration_n so_o different_a as_o their_o way_n be_v that_o will_v not_o depend_v upon_o a_o synod_n and_o in_o the_o next_o page_n of_o the_o same_o reason_n you_o say_v that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n a_o clause_n in_o the_o second_o branch_n that_o we_o shall_v without_o respect_n of_o person_n endeavour_v the_o extirpation_n of_o schism_n and_o whatsoever_o shall_v be_v find_v contrary_a to_o sound_v doctrine_n and_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n lest_o we_o partake_v in_o other_o man_n sin_n now_o sure_o mr._n edwards_n i_o wonder_v that_o wise_a man_n can_v smile_v upon_o you_o except_o it_o be_v in_o consideration_n of_o your_o folly_n for_o you_o be_v make_v all_o of_o contradiction_n unless_o you_o will_v have_v we_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v according_a to_o

presbytery_n and_o some_o for_o christ_n and_o that_o the_o two_o first_o cast_v aside_o the_o last_o shall_v agree_v to_o make_v decree_n and_o a_o parliament_n shall_v be_v bind_v to_o establish_v they_o will_v this_o be_v now_o to_o extirpate_v schism_n nay_o it_o will_v be_v to_o establish_v a_o grand_a schism_n for_o godliness_n be_v cast_v out_o by_o the_o two_o first_o and_o the_o parliament_n must_v establish_v what_o ever_o shall_v be_v think_v of_o those_o two_o first_o to_o be_v sound_a whether_o it_o be_v for_o the_o bishop_n the_o ancient_a father_n ☜_o or_o for_o the_o presbyter_n their_o young_a son_n and_o so_o you_o will_v have_v the_o parliament_n to_o be_v indeed_o guilty_a of_o their_o sin_n your_o three_o rreason_n be_v that_o a_o toleration_n be_v against_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o reformation_n and_o here_o you_o discover_v yourself_o in_o this_o reason_n that_o the_o reformation_n you_o intend_v to_o make_v be_v to_o force_v all_o man_n in_o the_o kingdom_n to_o submit_v to_o some_o particular_a form_n ☜_o for_o you_o say_v you_o can_v make_v a_o reformation_n but_o it_o must_v offend_v many_o conscience_n but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o will_v be_v the_o conscience_n of_o they_o that_o have_v knowledge_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o the_o ignorant_a multitude_n will_v be_v offend_v at_o
better_a sacrifice_n than_o he_o he_o shall_v have_v be_v condemn_v of_o his_o own_o conscience_n for_o the_o way_n be_v never_o the_o worse_o for_o cain_n miscarriage_n and_o the_o way_n that_o

lord_n send_v it_o by_o cause_v they_o to_o accuse_v themselves_o say_v we_o be_v very_o guilty_a concerning_o our_o brother_n in_o that_o we_o see_v the_o anguish_n of_o his_o soul_n when_o he_o beseech_v we_o and_o we_o will_v not_o hear_v therefore_o this_o evil_n be_v come_v upon_o we_o nay_o do_v not_o god_n further_o illustrate_v joseph_n glory_n before_o they_o not_o only_o by_o make_v

all_o go_v down_o into_o egypt_n we_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o son_n of_o jacob_n do_v fatal_o miscarry_v yet_o the_o way_n of_o god_n wherein_o they_o walk_v be_v not_o therefore_o to_o

of_o christ_n because_o these_o person_n and_o such_o as_o these_o do_v miscarry_v it_o will_v have_v discover_v great_a ignorance_n in_o they_o for_o though_o they_o be_v spot_n in_o their_o feast_n of_o charity_n yet_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v always_o power_n to_o cast_v they_o out_o and_o that_o without_o the_o help_n of_o a_o synod_n which_o have_v be_v prove_v at_o large_a in_o my_o

and_o though_o these_o apologist_n abhor_v the_o miscarriage_n of_o those_o that_o go_v before_o they_o in_o the_o way_n of_o separation_n yet_o by_o your_o report_n they_o still_o follow_v the_o

or_o a_o synod_n for_o a_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n objection_n some_o peradventure_o will_v say_v you_o will_v have_v the_o saint_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o no_o law_n answer_n if_o the_o saint_n

of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o he_o have_v give_v to_o his_o church_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o be_v sensure_v by_o the_o church_n for_o the_o law_n be_v make_v for_o the_o disobedient_a but_o those_o

you_o have_v mere_o bewray_v your_o own_o ignorance_n for_o if_o you_o have_v knowledge_n you_o may_v have_v make_v a_o better_a use_n of_o their_o speech_n you_o say_v their_o four_o thing_n that_o
