praise_v god_n in_o public_a worship_n or_o to_o the_o regular_a constitution_n of_o a_o gospel-church_n my_o humble_a advice_n to_o you_o be_v that_o notwithstanding_o if_o they_o right_o administer_v all_o gospel-ordinance_n according_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o their_o church_n for_o the_o present_a necessity_n you_o continue_v as_o you_o be_v and_o as_o their_o office_n be_v to_o watch_v over_o you_o in_o the_o lord_n 5.12_o heb._n 13.17_o 1_o thes_n 5.12_o so_o your_o duty_n be_v to_o obey_v they_o so_o far_o as_o they_o rule_v by_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o continue_v your_o affection_n and_o abound_v in_o love_n to_o they_o and_o all_o the_o saint_n but_o yet_o if_o they_o put_v such_o different_a and_o erroneous_a principle_n in_o practice_n and_o thereby_o interrupt_v the_o pure_a communion_n of_o their_o church_n contrary_a to_o their_o faith_n and_o settle_a order_n or_o go_v about_o to_o disturb_v your_o peace_n with_o any_o of_o they_o then_o as_o you_o be_v bind_v to_o follow_v your_o pastor_n and_o minister_n only_o so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v follower_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n 3.17_o 1_o cor._n 11.1_o phil._n 3.17_o so_o it_o be_v your_o duty_n to_o use_v all_o diligence_n to_o preserve_v the_o peace_n and_o right_a constitution_n of_o your_o church_n against_o their_o innovation_n and_o rather_o than_o to_o have_v your_o communion_n corrupt_v by_o they_o you_o be_v to_o part_v with_o they_o and_o all_o thing_n else_o though_o never_o so_o near_o and_o dear_a to_o you_o 2._o to_o those_o church_n which_o be_v destitute_a of_o a_o settle_a pastor_n i_o shall_v offer_v this_o to_o your_o serious_a consideration_n that_o it_o be_v a_o weak_a imagination_n to_o think_v that_o honest_a and_o sincere_a heart_a minister_n though_o natural_o of_o a_o mild_a and_o peaceable_a temper_n will_v not_o labour_v to_o promote_v the_o practice_n of_o those_o thing_n in_o their_o church_n which_o they_o believe_v to_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o if_o they_o be_v faithful_a man_n they_o will_v do_v it_o in_o obedience_n to_o christ_n commission_n wherein_o they_o be_v require_v to_o teach_v all_o nation_n whatsoever_o he_o have_v command_v they_o 28.20_o math._n 28.20_o and_o therefore_o if_o you_o expect_v that_o such_o a_o minister_n as_o you_o design_v to_o call_v to_o settle_v with_o you_o will_v not_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o some_o in_o the_o church_n who_o differ_v from_o he_o declare_v and_o promote_v according_a to_o his_o conscience_n the_o practice_n of_o all_o thing_n which_o god_n require_v you_o have_v equal_a reason_n to_o expect_v that_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o those_o person_n he_o will_v not_o be_v faithful_a to_o his_o principle_n and_o then_o how_o can_v any_o think_v he_o will_v be_v faithful_a to_o his_o church_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o he_o take_v in_o hand_n any_o far_a than_o it_o suit_n with_o his_o private_a interest_n so_o that_o whatever_o love_n peace_n and_o union_n a_o church_n may_v propose_v to_o themselves_o under_o the_o care_n of_o such_o a_o fix_a pastor_n as_o differ_v in_o his_o principle_n from_o it_o in_o any_o essential_o of_o a_o regular_a church_n viz._n either_o in_o doctrinal_n to_o salvation_n practical_n in_o divine_a worship_n or_o in_o administration_n of_o gospel-ordinance_n such_o a_o church_n do_v only_o delude_v themselves_o with_o a_o expectation_n of_o that_o which_o they_o lie_v a_o foundation_n to_o destroy_v for_o if_o such_o a_o pastor_n be_v faithful_a to_o his_o principle_n it_o be_v irrational_a to_o conceive_v that_o a_o whole_a church_n will_v be_v for_o alter_v their_o former_a settlement_n of_o communion_n they_o will_v then_o find_v that_o his_o differ_a principle_n will_v
