A69915	A plea for the Non-Conformists giving the true state of the dissenters case, and how far the Conformists separation from the Church of Rome, for their Popish superstitions and traditions introduced into the service of God, justifies the Non-Conformists separation from them for the same : in a letter to Dr. Benjamin Calamy, upon his sermon, called, Scrupulous conscience, inviting hereto : to which is added, A parallel scheme of the pagan, papal and Christian rites and ceremonies : with a narrative of the sufferings underwent for writing, printing and publishing hereof / by Thomas De Laune.

penalty_n but_o out_o of_o a_o noble_a christian_a principle_n that_o you_o may_v have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o discover_v with_o how_o much_o meekness_n of_o wisdom_n and_o demonstration_n of_o

you_o give_v they_o good_a reason_n and_o scripture_n for_o it_o club-law_n be_v none_o of_o the_o argument_n you_o treat_v a_o scrupulous_a or_o tender_a conscience_n with_o the_o argument_n and_o

church_n of_o england_n be_v this_o that_o they_o have_v no_o reason_n or_o scripture_n cause_n upon_o a_o conscientious_a account_n so_o to_o do_v because_o the_o principal_a thing_n they_o take_v offence_n at_o be_v not_o forbid_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o till_o they_o can_v produce_v a_o scripture_n to_o the_o negative_a as_o a_o negative_a article_n of_o faith_n that_o say_v we_o be_v not_o to_o do_v so_o or_o so_o kneel_v at_o the_o communion_n cross_n in_o baptism_n keep_v holiday_n use_v liturgy_n litany_n etc._n etc._n they_o can_v have_v no_o cause_n of_o just_a scruple_n and_o thus_o sir_n you_o be_v please_v to_o argue_v viz._n that_o there_o 30._o can_v be_v no_o transgression_n but_o by_o either_o omit_v what_o the_o law_n command_v or_o do_v what_o the_o law_n forbid_v for_o instance_n if_o a_o man_n can_v show_v where_o kneel_v at_o the_o sacrament_n be_v forbid_v in_o scripture_n where_o sit_v be_v require_v where_o pray_v by_o a_o form_n be_v forbid_v and_o extemporary_a prayer_n be_v enjoin_v then_o indeed_o the_o dispute_n will_v soon_o be_v at_o a_o end_n but_o if_o neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o can_v be_v find_v as_o most_o certain_o they_o can_v then_o kneel_v at_o the_o sacrament_n and_o read_v prayer_n out_o of_o a_o book_n must_v be_v reckon_v among_o thing_n lawful_a and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o scruple_v they_o because_o they_o may_v be_v do_v without_o sin_n nay_o where_o they_o be_v require_v by_o our_o superior_n it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o submit_v to_o they_o because_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o obey_v they_o in_o all_o lawful_a thing_n this_o way_n of_o argue_v you_o say_v be_v very_o plain_a and_o convince_a and_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n we_o have_v dr._n stillingfleet_n in_o his_o late_a 181._o answer_n to_o several_a of_o the_o dissenter_n affirm_v that_o those_o be_v schismatic_n that_o deny_v submission_n to_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o he_o tell_v we_o in_o plain_a term_n assure_o that_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o denial_n do_v not_o signify_v a_o button_n those_o say_v he_o who_o separate_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n make_v this_o their_o fundamental_a principle_n as_o to_o worship_n wherein_o the_o difference_n lie_v that_o nothing_o be_v lawful_a in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o what_o he_o have_v express_o command_v we_o say_v all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a which_o be_v not_o frobidden_v and_o upon_o this_o single_a point_n stand_v the_o whole_a controversy_n of_o separation_n as_o to_o the_o constitution_n of_o our_o church_n here_o be_v the_o objection_n in_o word_n at_o length_n and_o which_o you_o will_v find_v to_o be_v no_o other_o than_o what_o the_o papist_n make_v to_o the_o

the_o charge_n of_o idolatry_n against_o they_o must_v be_v vain_a and_o groundless_a because_o if_o i_o be_v press_v close_o i_o shall_v deny_v any_o one_o of_o these_o negative_a point_n to_o be_v

the_o body_n of_o christ_n that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o invocate_v saint_n to_o pray_v for_o we_o these_o be_v the_o jesuit_n word_n require_v the_o doctor_n to_o prove_v those_o negative_n upon_o which_o single_a point_n he_o put_v the_o stress_n of_o his_o argument_n then_o follow_v his_o answer_n which_o i_o pray_v you_o to_o mind_n well_o because_o it_o be_v the_o answer_v you_o must_v take_v to_o the_o like_a question_n from_o we_o viz._n but_o the_o answer_n to_o this_o be_v so_o easy_a that_o it_o will_v not_o require_v much_o time_n to_o dispatch_v it_o for_o i_o do_v assert_v it_o to_o be_v a_o article_n of_o my_o faith_n that_o god_n alone_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v with_o divine_a and_o religious_a worship_n and_o he_o that_o can_v hence_o infer_v that_o no_o

affirmative_a do_v necessary_o imply_v they_o if_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v my_o only_a rule_n of_o faith_n as_o i_o most_o firm_o do_v will_v any_o man_n that_o consider_v what_o he_o say_v require_v i_o to_o make_v negative_a article_n of_o faith_n that_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o tradition_n be_v not_o council_n be_v not_o a_o private_a spirit_n be_v not_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v necessary_o employ_v therein_o and_o so_o for_o all_o particular_a doctrine_n reject_v by_o we_o upon_o this_o principle_n we_o do_v not_o make_v they_o negative_a point_n of_o faith_n but_o we_o therefore_o refuse_v the_o belief_n of_o they_o because_o not_o contain_v in_o our_o only_a rule_n of_o faith_n on_o this_o account_n we_o reject_v the_o pope_n supremacy_n

the_o short_a resolution_n of_o our_o faith_n be_v this_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v nothing_o as_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n but_o what_o god_n have_v reveal_v and_o the_o complete_a
