money_n never_o refuse_v baptism_n to_o such_o brat_n or_o to_o couple_v whore_n and_o rogue_n together_o which_o be_v there_o call_v half-mark-marriage_n when_o by_o their_o previous_a dalliance_n the_o belly_n begin_v to_o swell_v so_o that_o for_o shame_n they_o can_v in_o that_o condition_n go_v to_o be_v marry_v in_o their_o own_o country_n and_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o as_o the_o encomium_n of_o a_o decease_a parson_n god_n be_v with_o he_o he_o never_o refuse_v to_o make_v a_o christen_v soul_n or_o a_o marry_a couple_n but_o lest_o any_o shall_v say_v that_o these_o be_v malicious_a reflection_n upon_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o answer_v that_o a_o poet_n of_o their_o own_o viz._n mr._n hickeringil_n in_o his_o ceremony-monger_n character_n and_o other_o book_n say_v a_o great_a deal_n worse_o and_o in_o express_a term_n that_o it_o be_v the_o worst_a constitute_v church_n in_o the_o world_n but_o that_o which_o be_v enough_o to_o confound_v the_o impudence_n of_o gainsayers_a the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o abuse_n which_o dissenter_n accuse_v the_o church_n of_o england_n of_o be_v name_v and_o a_o reformation_n of_o they_o command_v by_o his_o majesty_n in_o his_o late_a gracious_a letter_n to_o the_o bishop_n of_o london_n which_o as_o it_o have_v heighten_v and_o confirm_v the_o good_a opinion_n which_o all_o honest_a man_n have_v of_o he_o it_o have_v also_o incense_v the_o debauchee_n and_o high-flown_a prelatist_n who_o upbraid_v he_o as_o now_o begin_v to_o discover_v himself_o and_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o best_o for_o he_o to_o meddle_v too_o much_o which_o verify_v the_o observation_n that_o dissenter_n have_v always_o entertain_v of_o those_o tantivy_n that_o let_v their_o hyperbolical_a pretension_n of_o zeal_n for_o religion_n and_o loyalty_n be_v what_o they_o will_v if_o the_o king_n put_v but_o forth_o his_o hand_n and_o touch_v they_o they_o will_v curse_v he_o to_o his_o face_n and_o rather_o than_o part_v with_o a_o

evidence_n beyond_o contradiction_n of_o which_o if_o my_o design_a brevity_n will_v permit_v i_o can_v give_v authentic_a instance_n out_o of_o their_o own_o author_n from_o the_o reformation_n to_o this_o very_a day_n but_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n and_o manifest_a to_o the_o world_n that_o the_o presbyterian_a discipline_n be_v infinite_o beyond_o that_o so_o much_o idolise_v discipline_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n let_v they_o give_v such_o a_o instance_n as_o this_o of_o the_o now_o presbyterian_a minister_n of_o edinburgh_n who_o charge_v their_o elder_n at_o their_o election_n to_o visit_v the_o parish_n two_o by_o two_o and_o see_v that_o the_o master_n of_o every_o family_n pray_v in_o his_o family_n and_o if_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v it_o that_o they_o shall_v instruct_v he_o and_o pray_v with_o the_o family_n themselves_o neither_o be_v this_o a_o novelty_n to_o capital_a applanse_n but_o the_o old_a practice_n of_o the_o presbyterian_o both_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o where_o the_o government_n do_v not_o obstruct_v it_o and_o which_o god_n have_v many_o time_n bless_v with_o success_n those_o be_v help_v of_o his_o own_o appointment_n to_o assist_v his_o faithful_a minister_n in_o the_o discharge_v of_o their_o pastoral_a duty_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v very_o glad_a to_o see_v the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o conscientious_o discharge_v what_o discipline_n their_o own_o canon_n enjoin_v and_o his_o majesty_n have_v now_o command_v as_o the_o aforesaid_a minister_n be_v to_o put_v they_o in_o practice_n out_o of_o mere_a principle_n and_o without_o any_o such_o command_n but_o this_o be_v more_o than_o we_o can_v hope_v or_o their_o church_n bear_v as_o now_o constitute_v which_o time_n will_v verify_v nor_o do_v we_o want_v testimony_n from_o officer_n of_o their_o own_o communion_n of_o the_o good_a discipline_n of_o presbyterian_a family_n in_o ireland_n where_o they_o quarter_v and_o as_o a_o thing_n extraordinary_a to_o they_o give_v a_o account_n by_o letter_n to_o their_o friend_n that_o they_o be_v quarter_v in_o scot_n presbyterian_a house_n who_o read_v pray_v and_o sing_v
