one_o thing_n and_o if_o you_o will_v believe_v he_o he_o mean_v another_o but_o that_o he_o mean_v not_o thus_o be_v evident_a enough_o by_o the_o word_n he_o add_v in_o that_o former_a paragraph_n

they_o will_v prove_v no_o object_n of_o the_o church_n discipline_n nay_o the_o doctor_n will_v have_v they_o recommend_v yet_o but_o gentle_o do_v not_o this_o look_n like_o a_o act_n of_o

judgement_n that_o the_o due_a observance_n of_o ecclesiastic_a law_n in_o thing_n indifferent_a be_v not_o real_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o gospel_n nor_o for_o security_n of_o man_n soul_n in_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n tell_v the_o people_n this_o and_o with_o what_o better_a argument_n for_o schism_n and_o faction_n can_v you_o furnish_v they_o for_o why_o shall_v they_o trouble_v

this_o be_v not_o all_o do_v the_o people_n desire_v a_o comfortable_a abode_n on_o earth_n the_o same_o doctor_n have_v kind_o signify_v to_o they_o that_o the_o like_a disobedience_n be_v no_o

part_n of_o his_o argumentation_n i_o have_v do_v he_o no_o wrong_n if_o obedience_n to_o the_o church_n law_n be_v real_o for_o the_o gospel_n glory_n the_o promotion_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o our_o comfortable_a abode_n upon_o earth_n as_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v then_o ought_v it_o to_o be_v hold_v up_o with_o all_o possible_a care_n and_o strictness_n and_o to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o main_a object_n of_o the_o church_n discipline_n but_o the_o doctor_n argue_v that_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o indispensable_a duty_n of_o life_n be_v only_o that_o main_a object_n for_o this_o viz._n that_o they_o only_o shall_v be_v the_o main_a object_n be_v say_v he_o real_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o gospel_n etc._n etc._n which_o reason_n of_o he_o be_v no_o reason_n

more_o than_o pretty_a plain_a and_o he_o can_v deny_v that_o so_o he_o write_v how_o pretty_a plain_n than_o be_v it_o which_o he_o say_v here_o let_v any_o one_o judge_n who_o be_v capable_a of_o

which_o say_v he_o sect._n 8._o no_o man_n can_v make_v any_o question_n of_o do_v he_o but_o compare_v one_o part_n of_o my_o preface_n with_o another_o as_o that_o which_o occur_v sect._n 13._o at_o

instance_n where_o this_o doctor_n write_v repugnant_o to_o himself_o be_v it_o therefore_o justifiable_a in_o he_o to_o write_v what_o he_o list_v in_o one_o place_n against_o the_o church_n because_o in_o another_o place_n he_o do_v or_o may_v seem_v to_o write_v for_o she_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o give_v his_o mother_n a_o bit_n and_o a_o knock_n but_o in_o these_o repugnancy_n
