upon_o the_o authority_n and_o recommendation_n of_o your_o natural_a civil_a or_o spiritual_a father_n but_o that_o you_o will_v let_v it_o be_v what_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o rational_a service_n the_o result_n of_o your_o own_o mature_a impartial_a and_o well-weighed_a consideration_n and_o what_o in_o this_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o i_o will_v say_v more_o particular_o to_o our_o dissent_v brethren_n they_o be_v equal_o guilty_a with_o the_o romanist_n in_o this_o point_n depend_v too_o secure_o upon_o the_o authority_n and_o acquiesce_v in_o the_o report_n and_o representation_n of_o their_o leader_n i_o will_v therefore_o i_o say_v most_o earnest_o entreat_v they_o as_o they_o will_v answer_v it_o at_o the_o dreadful_a day_n of_o judgement_n when_o every_o man_n must_v stand_v or_o fall_v by_o his_o own_o conscience_n to_o judge_v for_o themselves_o and_o fair_o and_o ingenuous_o severe_o and_o impartial_o to_o weigh_v and_o consider_v the_o doctrine_n and_o discipline_n the_o principle_n and_o order_n of_o our_o establish_v church_n can_v we_o thus_o far_o prevail_v i_o be_o very_o parsuade_v that_o those_o heat_n and_o passion_n which_o now_o so_o tumultuous_o boil_v in_o some_o man_n bowel_n against_o she_o will_v all_o evaporate_v and_o expire_v and_o we_o shall_v soon_o walk_v together_o into_o the_o house_n of_o god_n as_o friend_n which_o i_o therefore_o believe_v because_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o many_o of_o her_o adversary_n have_v be_v perfect_o reconcile_v to_o she_o upon_o lesser_a motive_n only_o by_o venture_v to_o consult_v their_o own_o sense_n and_o calm_o and_o sedate_o to_o look_v into_o her_o devotion_n the_o church_n do_v then_o to_o their_o unbiased_a judgement_n most_o clear_o unfold_v her_o ravish_a beauty_n and_o brightness_n and_o their_o wonder_a eye_n see_v and_o confess_v her_o part_n and_o comely_a proportion_n she_o appear_v fair_a as_o tirzah_n comely_a as_o jerusalem_n and_o quite_o contrary_a to_o their_o expectation_n terrible_a to_o enthusiasm_n and_o popery_n too_o as_o a_o army_n with_o banner_n i_o will_v therefore_o i_o say_v again_o most_o earnest_o entreat_v these_o person_n to_o lay_v aside_o their_o prejudices_fw-la and_o with_o their_o own_o eye_n serious_o to_o look_v into_o and_o examine_v her_o constitution_n if_o she_o enjoin_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o any_o law_n of_o reason_n any_o law_n or_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n any_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n any_o part_n of_o christian_a worship_n or_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o universal_a

if_o her_o discipline_n serve_v direct_o to_o the_o beat_v down_o the_o stronghold_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o the_o promotion_n of_o piety_n and_o a_o good_a life_n if_o her_o devotion_n be_v substantial_o pious_a and_o prudent_a serious_a and_o comprehensive_a significant_a and_o intelligible_a and_o every_o way_n most_o wise_o and_o divine_o compose_v if_o her_o ceremony_n be_v not_o only_o few_o in_o number_n but_o likewise_o decent_a grave_a significant_a and_o edify_v in_o their_o nature_n and_o use_n in_o a_o word_n if_o she_o do_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o apostolical_a injunction_n decent_o and_o in_o order_n after_o the_o primitive_a pattern_n according_a to_o the_o best_a measure_n of_o human_a wisdom_n if_o i_o say_v she_o do_v all_o this_o and_o all_o this_o it_o will_v be_v demonstrative_o evident_a to_o every_o impartial_a enquirer_n that_o she_o do_v than_o i_o can_v but_o affirm_v that_o their_o separation_n from_o we_o in_o point_n of_o conscience_n be_v altogether_o unwarrantable_a impious_a schismatical_a but_o because_o they_o be_v teach_v to_o be_v deaf_a to_o our_o apology_n and_o with_o a_o unmanly_a blind_a implicit_a faith_n to_o believe_v we_o apostate_n to_o popery_n and_o innovation_n i_o will_v i_o say_v most_o earnest_o beseech_v they_o to_o use_v their_o own_o sense_n and_o to_o read_v to_o think_v and_o to_o judge_v at_o last_o for_o themselves_o that_o they_o will_v not_o pass_v sentence_n upon_o we_o before_o they_o know_v we_o nor_o judge_v of_o the_o doctrine_n or_o discipline_n of_o our_o church_n by_o the_o prejudices_fw-la of_o their_o education_n or_o the_o disingenuous_a illaudable_a report_n of_o their_o partial_a leader_n but_o whole_o and_o entire_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o
