of_o ordain_v elder_n and_o other_o matter_n relate_v to_o the_o better_a regulation_n of_o church_n affair_n and_o he_o be_v not_o choose_v to_o this_o office_n by_o the_o people_n but_o appoint_v

our_o parochial_a assembly_n if_o this_o shall_v not_o be_v esteem_v enough_o because_o in_o they_o we_o can_v inflict_v the_o high_a kind_n of_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n we_o do_v not_o conceive_v

be_v say_v to_o be_v pure_a who_o doctrine_n be_v consonant_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n where_o the_o sacrament_n be_v due_o administer_v where_o all_o the_o fundamental_a article_n of_o our_o

article_n of_o our_o belief_n be_v it_o that_o she_o reject_v what_o be_v it_o that_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n which_o she_o oblige_v we_o either_o to_o believe_v or_o

we_o to_o adore_v saint_n and_o image_n and_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a do_v she_o cheat_v the_o people_n with_o forge_a miracle_n and_o impose_v upon_o their_o credulity_n with_o foppish_a

not_o defile_v 20._o a_o man_n much_o less_o will_v they_o be_v able_a to_o corrupt_v a_o church_n but_o though_o the_o church_n of_o england_n shall_v be_v prove_v and_o grant_v to_o be_v a_o pure_a church_n yet_o we_o be_v still_o to_o inquire_v whether_o if_o we_o can_v find_v some_o other_o which_o we_o esteem_v to_o be_v more_o pure_a we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o join_v with_o that_o and_o to_o this_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o when_o a_o church_n be_v so_o
sar_n pure_a that_o it_o do_v not_o exact_v the_o belief_n or_o exercise_v of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v unlawful_a it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o may_v safe_o join_v with_o such_o a_o church_n and_o if_o we_o be_v ever_o admit_v member_n of_o it_o or_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v bind_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n where_o we_o be_v subject_n to_o communicate_v with_o it_o we_o must_v not_o separate_v from_o it_o upon_o any_o pretence_n of_o great_a purity_n for_o where_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n be_v teach_v and_o where_o nothing_o contrary_a to_o the_o word_n be_v enjoin_v that_o church_n be_v full_a as_o pure_a as_o any_o other_o can_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v for_o the_o scripture_n must_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v the_o only_a rule_n of_o purity_n and_o then_o where_o there_o be_v nothing_o contrary_a unto_o they_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v account_v impure_a if_o we_o shall_v forsake_v this_o and_o judge_v of_o these_o thing_n by_o other_o measure_n we_o must_v leave_v they_o to_o be_v determine_v by_o every_o man_n particular_a fancy_n and_o than_o one_o will_v present_o imagine_v this_o to_o be_v the_o pure_a church_n and_o another_o that_o and_o as_o soon_o as_o any_o one_o begin_v to_o have_v the_o least_o dislike_n of_o any_o thing_n in_o his_o own_o church_n he_o will_v fall_v immediate_o to_o look_v about_o for_o one_o that_o be_v pure_a and_o if_o he_o chance_v to_o find_v such_o a_o one_o it_o may_v not_o be_v very_o long_o before_o he_o may_v be_v offend_v with_o that_o too_o and_o make_v inquiry_n after_o another_o and_o so_o this_o principle_n instead_o of_o bring_v he_o into_o the_o pure_a church_n may_v at_o length_n draw_v he_o from_o the_o communion_n of_o all_o the_o church_n in_o the_o world_n there_o have_v be_v instance_n of_o this_o but_o if_o there_o be_v none_o it_o be_v very_o apparent_a whither_o this_o opinion_n may_v lead_v we_o and_o we_o shall_v be_v very_o cautious_a how_o we_o entertain_v it_o since_o it_o tend_v manifest_o to_o the_o dissolution_n of_o all_o church_n society_n and_o the_o endless_a rend_n and_o divide_v of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o avoid_v be_v guilty_a of_o this_o we_o must_v fix_v ourselves_o upon_o some_o firm_a foundation_n which_o in_o this_o case_n can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o what_o have_v be_v already_o intimate_v that_o we_o esteem_v nothing_o impure_a but_o what_o god_n have_v declare_v to_o be_v so_o if_o any_o church_n impose_v any_o thing_n upon_o we_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o that_o of_o rome_n do_v we_o must_v not_o join_v with_o it_o but_o if_o a_o church_n require_v nothing_o repugnant_a unto_o that_o as_o we_o of_o england_n do_v not_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o separate_v from_o it_o though_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o we_o have_v discover_v another_o that_o be_v more_o pure_a for_o those_o that_o be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o that_o degree_n of_o purity_n in_o a_o church_n constitution_n which_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o we_o will_v scarce_o ever_o be_v content_v with_o any_o if_o that_o be_v not_o pure_a enough_o for_o they_o where_o no_o unlawful_a thing_n be_v command_v i_o do_v not_o know_v where_o they_o will_v find_v one_o that_o be_v and_o if_o they_o shall_v go_v on_o at_o such_o a_o rate_n they_o may_v purisy_n a_o church_n till_o they_o have_v reform_v it_o to_o nothing_o like_o a_o unskilful_a chemist_n that_o will_v rectify_v and_o refine_v good_a spirit_n so_o long_o till_o he_o have_v make_v they_o so_o very_o volatile_a and_o exalt_v they_o to_o that_o degree_n that_o they_o evaporate_v and_o vanish_v into_o air_n if_o we_o can_v tell_v where_o we_o may_v safe_o stop_v we_o may_v lose_v the_o very_a substance_n and_o be_v of_o a_o church_n when_o we_o think_v we_o be_v only_o purge_v away_o the_o dregs_o but_o if_o it_o shall_v still_o be_v insist_v on_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o withdraw_v from_o the_o communion_n of_o a_o less_o pure_a church_n where_o a_o pure_a may_v be_v have_v then_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o church_n that_o hold_v it_o unlawful_a to_o submit_v to_o authority_n in_o matter_n indifferent_a we_o be_v oblige_v by_o this_o rule_n to_o forsake_v it_o and_o come_v over_o to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n because_o this_o doctrine_n be_v a_o great_a impurity_n than_o any_o that_o can_v be_v just_o charge_v upon_o she_o sect_n viii_o another_o exception_n that_o lie_v against_o our_o present_a establishment_n be_v the_o admission_n of_o lay-chancellour_n and_o
