this_o condescension_n of_o she_o she_o will_v certain_o bring_v into_o her_o communion_n a_o great_a number_n of_o pious_a moderate_a and_o more_o considerative_a nonconformist_n which_o will_v not_o

for_o otherwise_o their_o own_o present_a quiet_a and_o interest_n must_v necessary_o have_v oblige_v they_o to_o a_o compliance_n they_o have_v be_v under_o a_o continual_a danger_n and_o hazard_n of_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o law_n establish_v against_o they_o whereby_o they_o have_v be_v not_o only_o deprive_v of_o that_o maintenance_n which_o by_o the_o countenance_n of_o authority_n they_o may_v otherwise_o have_v expect_v and_o public_o enjoy_v but_o expose_v to_o many_o want_n difficulty_n and_o suffering_n proposal_n for_o prevent_v future_a division_n i_o humble_o propose_v to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o this_o present_a parliament_n that_o a_o act_n may_v be_v pass_v whereby_o every_o person_n after_o a_o limit_a term_n of_o year_n intend_v to_o take_v holy_a order_n shall_v be_v incapacitate_v for_o any_o church-preferment_n or_o for_o a_o licence_n to_o preach_v in_o private_a congregation_n who_o can_v not_o give_v a_o satisfactory_a account_n to_o the_o bishop_n of_o the_o diocese_n where_o he_o intend_v to_o settle_v of_o his_o proficiency_n and_o ability_n in_o church-history_n and_o primitive_a learning_n whereby_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o give_v a_o clear_a and_o plain_a account_n of_o what_o discipline_n and_o order_n be_v use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n near_a our_o saviour_n and_o the_o apostle_n day_n when_o difference_n and_o error_n in_o

such_o a_o law_n will_v be_v very_o great_a both_o to_o our_o interest_n in_o church_n and_o state_n among_o which_o i_o beg_v leave_n to_o name_v the_o follow_v 1._o we_o may_v hereby_o for_o the_o future_a more_o assure_o hope_v for_o and_o expect_v peace_n and_o union_n among_o our_o churchman_n who_o have_v be_v all_o well_o acquaint_v with_o primitive_a learning_n and_o practice_n with_o the_o rise_n and_o growth_n of_o all_o heresy_n schism_n and_o division_n in_o the_o church_n and_o with_o the_o fatal_a consequence_n which_o have_v attend_v they_o they_o will_v not_o more_o rational_o than_o unanimous_o make_v choice_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o form_n of_o worship_n and_o discipline_n but_o most_o hearty_o unite_v in_o their_o affection_n to_o one_o another_o endeavour_v with_o all_o their_o strength_n and_o power_n to_o maintain_v the_o church_n in_o peace_n and_o unity_n 2._o by_o this_o mean_n we_o may_v be_v assure_v to_o enjoy_v the_o most_o learned_a clergy_n that_o ever_o this_o nation_n bring_v forth_o who_o will_v not_o only_o prove_v a_o great_a bulwark_n against_o popery_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n but_o schism_n and_o faction_n on_o the_o other_o and_o be_v to_o well_o accomplish_a for_o the_o ministerial_a function_n before_o they_o enter_v into_o it_o may_v much_o more_o assure_o engage_v the_o affection_n and_o heart_n of_o their_o people_n by_o spend_v in_o private_a the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o week_n in_o instruct_v they_o in_o the_o principle_n and_o encourage_v they_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o christian_a

we_o have_v more_o clergyman_n than_o live_n seem_v to_o be_v this_o that_o a_o great_a number_n of_o ordinary_a tradesman_n and_o farmer_n do_v send_v their_o child_n to_o the_o university_n be_v ambitious_a to_o make_v they_o gentleman_n though_o they_o be_v unable_a to_o maintain_v they_o there_o above_o three_o or_o four_o year_n in_o which_o time_n such_o accomplishment_n be_v not_o to_o be_v attain_v as_o be_v require_v by_o this_o proposal_n if_o therefore_o such_o a_o law_n as_o this_o be_v once_o establish_v they_o will_v be_v willing_a to_o bring_v they_o up_o to_o honest_a profession_n and_o trade_n much_o more_o suitable_a for_o they_o and_o person_n of_o better_a estate_n and_o quality_n will_v be_v encourage_v to_o bring_v up_o their_o child_n in_o the_o university_n and_o continue_v they_o there_o until_o they_o arrive_v to_o that_o pitch_n of_o learning_n which_o will_v not_o only_o render_v they_o the_o honour_n of_o their_o own_o but_o the_o envy_n of_o foreign_a nation_n and_o also_o capacitate_v they_o for_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o a_o preferment_n suitable_a to_o their_o parent_n charge_v and_o their_o own_o pain_n and_o industry_n especial_o if_o the_o king_n will_v appropriate_v the_o first-fruit_n and_o ten_o of_o all_o ecclesiastical_a preferment_n or_o the_o parliament_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o raise_v a_o sum_n of_o money_n for_o the_o purchase_n impropriation_n and_o endow_a live_n with_o such_o a_o competency_n as_o may_v enable_v the_o incumbent_n to_o provide_v comfortable_o for_o themselves_o and_o family_n and_o to_o keep_v up_o decent_a hospitality_n in_o their_o neighbourhood_n and_o will_v annex_v those_o impropriation_n when_o purchase_v to_o the_o bishop_n and_o chapter_n of_o each_o diocese_n who_o be_v to_o be_v

this_o important_a affair_n let_v the_o bishop_n be_v oblige_v every_o year_n to_o call_v upon_o the_o university_n for_o the_o name_n of_o the_o most_o pious_a learned_a and_o industrious_a person_n in_o their_o several_a college_n in_o short_a i_o hearty_o wish_v that_o we_o may_v often_o and_o serious_o remember_v our_o bless_a saviour_n prediction_n that_o a_o kingdom_n divide_v against_o
