ground_v upon_o stumble_a block_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o it_o 12._o fall_v those_o you_o say_v be_v lay_v by_o the_o liturgy_n and_o i_o say_v remove_v by_o many_o so_o you_o know_v they_o be_v by_o hooker_n abbot_n hutton_n morton_n burges_n covell_n and_o i_o know_v not_o how_o many_o other_o among_o the_o rest_n i_o stumble_v upon_o a_o blind_a man_n who_o inward_a sight_n abundant_o supply_v the_o want_n of_o his_o bodily_a eye_n who_o have_v in_o many_o of_o those_o point_n give_v in_o my_o opinion_n very_o clear_a satisfaction_n but_o sure_o you_o can_v not_o suppose_v i_o so_o weak_a as_o to_o imagine_v that_o his_o lack_n of_o eye_n can_v exempt_v he_o from_o error_n although_o divers_a of_o your_o exception_n be_v if_o they_o be_v worth_a our_o insist_n upon_o more_o groundless_a than_o his_o tenet_n but_o while_o i_o allow_v many_o of_o his_o passage_n i_o never_o mean_v to_o justify_v all_o it_o be_v far_o from_o i_o to_o excuse_v or_o patronize_v other_o man_n paradox_n we_o know_v the_o old_a distinction_n of_o scandal_n take_v and_o give_v if_o there_o be_v any_o danger_n of_o the_o latter_a it_o be_v i_o say_v under_o careful_a hand_n to_o remove_v it_o and_o however_o it_o please_v you_o to_o fall_v into_o choleric_a comparison_n perhaps_o those_o hand_n which_o you_o slight_n may_v not_o be_v the_o least_o active_a to_o the_o four_o which_o be_v the_o idolize_n of_o the_o liturgy_n i_o say_v true_o separatist_n abhor_v it_o for_o such_o never_o true_a protestant_a adore_v it_o for_o such_o show_v we_o the_o man_n that_o ever_o worship_v the_o service-book_n that_o we_o may_v wonder_v at_o that_o uncouth_a idolatry_n show_v we_o the_o man_n that_o hold_v it_o the_o only_a worship_n of_o god_n in_o england_n as_o you_o unjust_o pretend_v i_o tell_v you_o of_o some_o other_o that_o stick_v not_o to_o say_v too_o many_o do_v injurious_o make_v a_o idol_n of_o preach_v why_o shall_v you_o hope_v i_o be_o not_o serious_a in_o affirm_v so_o undoubted_a a_o truth_n yet_o we_o may_v not_o think_v of_o abandon_v it_o even_o in_o cool_a blood_n the_o argument_n hold_v firm_a without_o equalize_v one_o with_o the_o other_o some_o have_v make_v a_o idol_n of_o their_o silver_n and_o gold_n must_v i_o therefore_o cast_v away_o this_o metal_n you_o need_v not_o fear_v that_o i_o will_v speak_v aught_o to_o the_o derogation_n from_o my_o own_o profession_n but_o if_o i_o compare_v god_n ordinance_n of_o prayer_n with_o his_o ordinance_n of_o preach_v and_o this_o individual_a liturgy_n with_o that_o individual_a sermon_n i_o hope_v there_o be_v no_o danger_n in_o that_o collation_n to_o the_o five_o the_o great_a distaste_n which_o these_o public_a prayer_n meet_v withal_o be_v true_o lamentable_a 13._o and_o the_o effect_n of_o that_o distaste_n separation_n yet_o more_o let_v those_o miszealous_a man_n who_o have_v infuse_v these_o thought_n into_o well-meaning_a soul_n see_v how_o they_o will_v answer_v it_o in_o that_o great_a day_n to_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o dead_a sure_o if_o the_o case_n be_v i_o i_o shall_v fear_v it_o will_v fall_v heavy_a upon_o my_o soul_n for_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o there_o be_v divers_a passage_n in_o our_o liturgy_n faulty_a and_o worthy_a of_o correction_n yet_o no_o wise_a enemy_n can_v say_v they_o be_v so_o heinous_a that_o they_o bar_v all_o communion_n do_v they_o contain_v heresy_n or_o blasphemy_n we_o can_v but_o separate_v from_o their_o use_n now_o their_o separation_n can_v no_o more_o be_v without_o our_o pity_o then_o without_o their_o own_o sin_n your_o argument_n hence_o infer_v that_o the_o partition_n wall_n of_o our_o offensive_a liturgy_n shall_v be_v remove_v because_o some_o brainsick_a man_n for_o that_o title_n be_v here_o mere_o your_o own_o not_o i_o be_v scandalize_v thereby_o will_v no_o less_o hold_v if_o this_o our_o liturgy_n be_v either_o alter_v or_o abolish_v for_o be_v there_o not_o thousand_o that_o profess_v to_o be_v no_o less_o scandalize_v with_o any_o set_a form_n whatsoever_o so_o then_o if_o we_o have_v any_o prescribe_v or_o stint_a devotion_n at_o all_o the_o partition_n wall_n stand_v still_o and_o if_o that_o shall_v be_v demolish_v how_o many_o more_o and_o more_o considerable_a thousand_o do_v you_o think_v will_v be_v scandalize_v with_o the_o want_n of_o those_o holy_a form_n whereto_o they_o have_v be_v so_o long_o and_o so_o beneficial_o enure_v here_o be_v therefore_o a_o scandal_n on_o both_o part_n unavoidable_a and_o it_o will_v be_v our_o wisdom_n and_o piety_n to_o fall_v upon_o the_o least_o you_o say_v you_o think_v nay_o you_o know_v that_o some_o few_o prelate_n by_o their_o overrigorous_a press_n of_o the_o service-book_n and_o ceremony_n have_v make_v more_o separatist_n than_o all_o the_o preacher_n disaffect_v to_o the_o ceremony_n in_o england_n i_o examine_v not_o the_o truth_n of_o your_o confident_a assertion_n but_o will_v you_o to_o distinguish_v betwixt_o cause_n and_o occasion_n the_o rigour_n of_o those_o few_o prelate_n may_v be_v the_o occasion_n but_o the_o mispersuasion_n of_o those_o disaffect_a preacher_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o woeful_a separation_n both_o may_v unhappy_o concur_v to_o this_o mischief_n but_o those_o more_o who_o be_v the_o direct_a and_o immediate_a agent_n in_o so_o bad_a a_o service_n your_o last_o reason_n be_v so_o slight_o enforce_v 14._o that_o it_o merit_v rather_o pity_v than_o refutation_n i_o do_v just_o aver_v that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o difference_n in_o liturgy_n shall_v breed_v disunion_n between_o church_n or_o why_o union_n in_o religion_n shall_v bind_v we_o to_o the_o same_o liturgy_n distinguish_v as_o i_o ought_v betwixt_o essential_a point_n and_o mere_a outward_a formality_n how_o faint_o you_o reply_v that_o it_o be_v true_a every_o difference_n in_o liturgy_n do_v not_o necessitate_v a_o disunion_n of_o church_n but_o here_o the_o difference_n be_v too_o large_a to_o be_v cover_v with_o a_o few_o fig-leaf_n grant_v it_o to_o be_v large_a than_o it_o be_v be_v it_o yet_o essential_a the_o question_n be_v not_o what_o may_v cover_v our_o difference_n but_o what_o may_v disunite_v our_o church_n it_o be_v not_o form_n of_o liturgy_n but_o matter_n of_o obstinate_a and_o fundamental_a error_n that_o can_v draw_v on_o such_o a_o effect_n tell_v not_o i_o therefore_o or_o your_o reader_n of_o some_o ceremony_n of_o we_o that_o will_v not_o down_o with_o other_o reform_a church_n when_o you_o may_v as_o good_a cheap_a hear_v of_o some_o fashion_n of_o they_o which_o will_v not_o down_o with_o we_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o as_o we_o give_v so_o we_o shall_v take_v liberty_n in_o thing_n indifferent_a without_o any_o reciprocal_a dislike_n as_o for_o precedency_n of_o time_n in_o our_o liturgy_n and_o of_o dignity_n in_o our_o church_n they_o may_v well_o have_v this_o operation_n with_o we_o that_o our_o liturgy_n can_v not_o conform_v to_o that_o which_o have_v no_o be_v and_o that_o other_o church_n shall_v rather_o conform_v to_o we_o which_o be_v ever_o note_v for_o more_o noble_a and_o eminent_a you_o desire_v not_o to_o eclipse_v the_o glory_n of_o this_o church_n as_o you_o profess_v yet_o you_o be_v willing_a to_o overshadow_v it_o somewhat_o dark_o while_o you_o can_v say_v our_o first_o reformation_n be_v only_o in_o doctrine_n they_o in_o doctrine_n and_o discipline_n too_o wherein_o you_o be_v double-faulty_a first_o in_o impute_v a_o defect_n to_o our_o
