difference_n betwixt_o the_o papist_n and_o the_o reformer_n in_o this_o case_n be_v that_o the_o former_a believe_v their_o doctrine_n to_o be_v true_a upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n the_o latter_a because_o they_o judge_v they_o to_o be_v agreeable_a to_o scripture_n he_o aver_v in_o his_o conclusion_n that_o according_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o reformation_n no_o doctrine_n or_o tenet_n whatsoever_o can_v be_v wicked_a or_o blasphemous_a but_o that_o all_o be_v sacred_a and_o solid_a judgement_n and_o reflect_v very_o sharp_o upon_o dr._n still_o for_o make_v jupiter_n to_o be_v the_o supreme_a god._n esq_n f._n he_o be_v very_o witty_a upon_o the_o doctor_n and_o will_v fain_o persuade_v he_o to_o turn_v pagan_a and_o i_o believe_v if_o the_o doctor_n will_v be_v rule_v by_o he_o he_o can_v teach_v he_o how_o to_o do_v it_o without_o ever_o turn_v from_o be_v a_o christian_n but_o since_o you_o have_v give_v a_o brief_a account_n of_o this_o book_n pray_v let_v we_o reckon_v what_o the_o whole_a thereof_o amount_v to_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v perceive_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o be_v no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o several_a of_o the_o reformer_n have_v change_v from_o one_o thing_n to_o another_o and_o that_o some_o of_o they_o have_v hold_v most_o gross_a and_o scandalous_a tenet_n and_o therefore_o since_o every_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o follow_v his_o own_o judgement_n he_o may_v according_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o reformation_n lawful_o embrace_v any_o opinion_n or_o doctrine_n whatsoever_o mr._n g._n that_o be_v indeed_o the_o sum_n of_o what_o he_o have_v say_v and_o to_o what_o the_o reformation_n will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o give_v any_o satisfactory_a answer_n esq_n f._n be_v not_o too_o hasty_a good_a sir_n in_o your_o inference_n because_o man_n be_v of_o different_a opinion_n and_o will_v be_v so_o as_o long_o as_o the_o world_n endure_v do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o every_o one_o allow_v all_o opinion_n lawful_a and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n what_o opinion_n a_o man_n hold_v mr._n g._n any_o man_n will_v think_v so_o since_o they_o allow_v it_o to_o be_v lawful_a to_o change_v their_o opinion_n as_o oft_o as_o they_o in_o their_o own_o judgement_n shall_v think_v it_o reasonable_a so_o to_o do_v and_o every_o man_n believe_v all_o the_o while_o his_o opinion_n to_o be_v true_a esq_n f._n do_v every_o one_o who_o believe_v his_o opinion_n to_o be_v true_a believe_v the_o opinion_n of_o other_o which_o be_v contrary_a thereunto_o to_o be_v true_a also_o mr._n g._n by_o no_o mean_n for_o as_o this_o author_n tell_v you_o p._n 2._o each_o particular_a congregation_n constrain_v as_o much_o as_o it_o can_v all_o people_n to_o believe_v its_o own_o tenet_n protestancy_n will_v have_v we_o all_o be_v protestant_n and_o will_v root_v lutheran_n out_o of_o the_o world_n as_o well_o as_o popery_n lutheran_n will_v if_o they_o can_v draw_v all_o to_o their_o own_o net_n presbytery_n esteem_v itself_o to_o be_v the_o best_a of_o all_o and_o will_v crush_v protestancy_n if_o it_o can_v but_o that_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o reformation_n as_o it_o include_v all_o reform_a congregation_n distinct_a from_o popery_n there_o be_v a_o holy_a extension_n of_o spirit_n and_o liberty_n for_o to_o be_v either_o lutheran_n presbyterian_o protestant_n and_o any_o thing_n but_o popery_n esq_n f._n those_o word_n and_o what_o follow_v make_v a_o certain_a sound_n in_o a_o man_n ear_n but_o i_o do_v not_o perceive_v any_o great_a matter_n to_o be_v in_o they_o they_o rather_o imply_v a_o contradiction_n than_o any_o thing_n else_o for_o if_o the_o several_a part_n of_o the_o reformation_n believe_v their_o own_o opinion_n to_o be_v true_a and_o will_v have_v all_o other_o to_o embrace_v they_o how_o can_v the_o whole_a body_n which_o consist_v of_o the_o part_n be_v true_o say_v to_o allow_v a_o liberty_n of_o believe_v what_o every_o man_n please_v they_o may_v not_o only_o allow_v a_o liberty_n but_o may_v assert_v it_o to_o be_v necessary_a that_o every_o one_o shall_v follow_v his_o own_o judgement_n although_o he_o be_v never_o so_o much_o mistake_v but_o where_o do_v they_o allow_v it_o to_o be_v a_o indifferent_a thing_n whether_o he_o be_v mistake_v or_o no_o mr._n g._n what_o think_v you_o of_o the_o synod_n of_o charenton_n in_o france_n hold_v about_o the_o year_n 1634_o which_o express_o say_v that_o for_o your_o salvation_n it_o be_v all_o alike_o whether_o you_o be_v a_o calvinist_n lutheran_n or_o of_o any_o other_o congregation_n esq_n f._n to_o cut_v you_o short_a in_o this_o matter_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v that_o i_o who_o be_o a_o layman_n shall_v understand_v what_o synod_n have_v determine_v or_o what_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o particular_a learned_a man_n in_o these_o and_o such_o like_a case_n and_o therefore_o can_v tell_v whether_o this_o author_n have_v right_o represent_v matter_n or_o no._n mr._n g._n why_o shall_v you_o think_v otherwise_o esq_n f._n because_o there_o be_v some_o people_n in_o the_o world_n who_o give_v themselves_o a_o great_a liberty_n of_o represent_v thing_n either_o true_o or_o false_o as_o they_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v most_o expedient_a for_o their_o present_a purpose_n mr._n g._n why_o do_v you_o suppose_v this_o author_n to_o have_v do_v so_o esq_n f._n he_o may_v have_v do_v so_o for_o aught_o that_o i_o can_v tell_v but_o i_o do_v not_o suppose_v that_o he_o have_v but_o rather_o choose_v to_o allow_v all_o his_o representation_n to_o be_v true_a and_o yet_o i_o can_v see_v what_o other_o effect_n his_o book_n can_v have_v upon_o the_o mind_n of_o any_o judicious_a man_n than_o the_o give_v he_o some_o little_a sensual_a pleasure_n in_o the_o read_n of_o it_o mr._n g._n it_o have_v have_v good_a effect_n among_o some_o people_n and_o a_o certain_a man_n of_o authority_n in_o a_o certain_a university_n public_o own_v himself_o in_o all_o company_n to_o have_v be_v convert_v by_o it_o esq_n f._n every_o man_n in_o every_o place_n of_o authority_n there_o be_v not_o always_o the_o wise_a or_o the_o honest_a man_n in_o the_o university_n but_o whatever_o your_o certain_a man_n may_v say_v i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o if_o this_o book_n make_v no_o more_o convert_v any_o where_o else_o than_o it_o be_v likely_a to_o make_v in_o a_o university_n there_o have_v be_v no_o small_a pain_n take_v to_o little_a purpose_n mr._n g._n you_o will_v allow_v i_o suppose_v that_o this_o author_n may_v have_v say_v enough_o to_o convince_v any_o man_n in_o the_o university_n or_o out_o of_o it_o of_o the_o absurd_a opinion_n of_o several_a reformer_n esq_n f._n he_o may_v do_v that_o indeed_o if_o all_o the_o story_n which_o he_o tell_v be_v true_a but_o how_o do_v these_o man_n error_n concern_v i_o or_o what_o will_v it_o avail_v to_o persuade_v i_o to_o relinquish_v my_o opinion_n which_o be_v the_o great_a design_n of_o this_o book_n that_o other_o be_v or_o have_v be_v mistake_v my_o business_n be_v to_o to_o inquire_v whether_o the_o term_n of_o that_o communion_n to_o which_o i_o belong_v be_v just_a and_o equitable_a and_o since_o god_n be_v thank_v i_o find_v they_o to_o be_v so_o i_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o forsake_v that_o

not_o certain_a whether_o the_o synod_n of_o charenton_n tell_v i_o so_o or_o no_o but_o if_o it_o do_v it_o will_v not_o weigh_v at_o all_o with_o i_o since_o the_o church_n of_o england_n tell_v i_o no_o such_o thing_n but_o have_v prescribe_v such_o term_n of_o communion_n as_o be_v just_a and_o orthodox_n declare_v those_o member_n to_o be_v guilty_a of_o schism_n which_o depart_v from_o she_o mr._n g._n she_o will_v i_o know_v arbitrary_o impose_v her_o rule_n and_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n upon_o her_o member_n and_o what_o be_v this_o else_o but_o a_o spice_n of_o popery_n for_o which_o she_o nevertheless_o pretend_v to_o have_v so_o great_a a_o aversation_n esq_n f._n this_o indeed_o your_o author_n object_n several_a time_n and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o spice_n of_o popery_n i_o hearty_o wish_v that_o popery_n have_v nothing_o worse_a in_o it_o but_o you_o be_v both_o under_o a_o great_a mistake_n to_o fancy_v any_o agreement_n betwixt_o popery_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o this_o matter_n for_o popery_n require_v a_o entire_a submission_n without_o any_o previous_a trial_n or_o examination_n you_o must_v believe_v and_o practise_v what_o the_o church_n prescribe_v because_o she_o require_v it_o whereas_o the_o

to_o the_o other_o and_o yet_o all_o pretend_v to_o truth_n and_o to_o be_v true_a member_n of_o the_o reformation_n e._n f._n i_o tell_v thou_o once_o again_o that_o a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v

oblige_v to_o make_v a_o strict_a inquiry_n whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o he_o to_o embrace_v the_o term_n of_o that_o other_o communion_n into_o which_o he_o have_v admit_v himself_o and_o after_o he_o have_v do_v so_o not_o to_o desert_v it_o without_o good_a reason_n mr._n g._n do_v not_o every_o member_n of_o the_o reformation_n pretend_v to_o have_v reason_n on_o his_o side_n esq_n
