of_o the_o present_a schism_n lay_v at_o our_o door_n i_o shall_v think_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v my_o first_o work_n to_o repent_v of_o it_o and_o tho'_o the_o author_n i_o have_v to_o do_v with_o

the_o justice_n to_o examine_v whatever_o may_v seem_v in_o the_o least_o material_a through_o his_o whole_a discourse_n and_o so_o leave_v the_o judgement_n to_o the_o impartial_a reader_n for_o a_o

unwilling_a to_o judge_v severe_o of_o my_o brethren_n he_o think_v he_o have_v no_o small_a advantage_n in_o pick_v up_o three_o or_o four_o harsh_a phrase_n which_o drop_v from_o my_o pen_n as_o if_o a_o man_n can_v have_v no_o kindness_n for_o other_o who_o sometime_o speak_v in_o sharp_a language_n when_o bitter_a truth_n enforce_v he_o to_o it_o and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n will_v not_o be_v otherwise_o express_v but_o this_o complaint_n very_o ill_o become_v he_o who_o at_o every_o turn_n on_o set_a purpose_n call_v i_o by_o all_o the_o scornful_a despicable_a name_n a_o malicious_a wit_n can_v invent_v and_o sometime_o give_v i_o such_o ill-favoured_a title_n with_o threaten_v to_o boot_v as_o if_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o deal_v by_o i_o as_o the_o heathen_n

i_o can_v neglect_v for_o though_o it_o may_v recommend_v his_o book_n to_o some_o kind_n of_o wit_n yet_o it_o will_v certain_o disparage_v it_o with_o all_o man_n of_o sense_n my_o answer_n contain_v only_o two_o sheet_n so_o that_o it_o can_v be_v neither_o difficult_a nor_o tedious_a to_o have_v answer_v it_o as_o it_o lay_v but_o as_o if_o he_o be_v lose_v in_o a_o wood_n or_o have_v to_o do_v with_o some_o voluminous_a author_n he_o reduce_v it_o to_o head_n but_o as_o there_o i_o follow_v another_o man_n step_n so_o here_o to_o prevent_v all_o complaint_n of_o foul_a play_n see_v our_o author_n will_v not_o allow_v i_o my_o own_o method_n i_o will_v follow_v he_o but_o first_o i_o can_v forbear_v to_o tell_v he_o that_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o he_o have_v do_v like_o a_o ingenuous_a man_n in_o these_o thing_n 1._o that_o he_o have_v quite_o omit_v several_a reason_n of_o i_o which_o be_v material_a as_o to_o the_o matter_n in_o controversy_n 2._o that_o when_o he_o mention_n topic_n or_o hint_n at_o any_o of_o my_o argument_n he_o never_o repeat_v those_o word_n wherein_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o argument_n lay_v 3._o that_o he_o rare_o make_v any_o direct_a answer_n but_o shift_n and_o turn_v it_o off_o to_o another_o matter_n like_o some_o crafty_a huntsman_n who_o be_v desirous_a to_o save_v the_o life_n of_o a_o old_a chase_a hare_n and_o yet_o to_o gull_v those_o who_o follow_v the_o sport_n and_o think_v the_o same_o game_n be_v still_o on_o foot_n start_z and_o lay_v the_o dog_n into_o a_o fresh_a one_o and_o in_o these_o three_o thing_n consist_v both_o the_o artifice_n and_o strength_n if_o it_o have_v any_o of_o his_o whole_a book_n the_o first_o topick_n he_o make_v to_o be_v of_o church-communion_n and_o schism_n and_o here_o the_o first_o offer_n he_o make_v be_v a_o side-blow_n in_o still_v we_o the_o new_a separatist_n p._n 3_o now_o schism_n certain_o go_v along_o with_o the_o cause_n and_o those_o proper_o be_v the_o schismatic_n who_o be_v the_o criminal_n now_o let_v matter_n be_v first_o adjust_v and_o the_o cause_n examine_v and_o let_v those_o be_v the_o new_a separatist_n who_o shall_v be_v find_v guilty_a upon_o trial_n and_o if_o his_o new_a title_n of_o honour_n be_v not_o find_v of_o right_a to_o belong_v to_o himself_o and_o his_o party_n i_o will_v confess_v that_o i_o have_v be_v woeful_o mistake_v that_o we_o do_v not_o fall_v but_o be_v force_v into_o this_o division_n i_o have_v allege_v this_o he_o say_v he_o will_v answer_v in_o due_a place_n and_o i_o must_v wait_v his_o leisure_n but_o when_o he_o call_v it_o a_o spiteful_a return_n when_o i_o desire_v that_o author_n

word_n which_o will_v have_v clear_v my_o mean_v and_o other_o wherein_o the_o strength_n of_o my_o argument_n lay_v next_o he_o sum_v up_o my_o argument_n false_o and_o not_o in_o my_o sense_n and_o after_o this_o he_o give_v no_o direct_a answer_n to_o it_o but_o raise_v three_o question_n and_o those_o too_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o some_o answer_n he_o have_v find_v in_o archdeacon_n mason_n and_o those_o answer_n come_v not_o up_o to_o the_o case_n such_o mighty_a pain_n be_v some_o man_n at_o to_o say_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n but_o however_o we_o must_v wait_v his_o motion_n my_o argument_n he_o sum_v up_o thus_o that_o be_v they_o i._n e._n the_o clergy_n receive_v their_o authority_n from_o god_n no_o civil_a power_n can_v disable_v they_o from_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o duty_n and_o if_o it_o do_v they_o be_v bind_v to_o quit_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n where_o so_o disable_v now_o i_o be_v so_o far_o from_o simple_o assert_v that_o the_o civil_a power_n can_v disable_v they_o from_o exercise_v their_o function_n that_o i_o there_o instance_a in_o case_n where_o they_o lawful_o may_v but_o as_o he_o have_v word_v it_o he_o confute_v himself_o for_o if_o they_o exercise_v only_o as_o he_o call_v it_o their_o duty_n it_o be_v certain_a no_o civil_a power_n lawful_o can_v disable_v they_o from_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o and_o if_o he_o grant_v it_o their_o duty_n in_o that_o case_n he_o justify_v they_o for_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v hinder_v from_o discharge_v his_o duty_n nor_o do_v i_o say_v that_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o quit_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n where_o so_o disable_v for_o the_o church_n may_v own_v they_o when_o the_o state_n disallow_v they_o i_o say_v in_o such_o case_n of_o unjust_a deprivation_n they_o may_v exercise_v their_o office_n at_o their_o peril_n which_o either_o may_v be_v do_v in_o the_o church_n or_o in_o separation_n from_o that_o particular_a church_n according_a as_o the_o doctrine_n there_o teach_v and_o the_o term_n of_o communion_n in_o it_o stand_v the_o argument_n be_v thus_o false_o represent_v he_o answer_v it_o with_o question_n the_o method_n i_o suppose_v be_v new_a and_o he_o a_o man_n in_o fashion_n the_o first_o be_v this_o whether_o a_o bishop_n due_o consecrate_a or_o a_o minister_n due_o ordain_v may_v not_o be_v lawful_o suspend_v and_o deprive_v from_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o office_n by_o the_o secular_a power_n wh●re_v there_o be_v sufficient_a reason_n for_o it_o now_o this_o question_n plain_o answer_v itself_o for_o i_o think_v any_o thing_n may_v be_v do_v for_o which_o there_o be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n and_o he_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a heart_a man_n who_o will_v not_o allow_v he_o this_o but_o then_o there_o be_v other_o question_n to_o be_v ask_v viz._n what_o be_v in_o such_o case_n a_o sufficient_a reason_n whether_o there_o be_v sufficient_a reason_n in_o this_o particular_a case_n and_o last_o if_o he_o please_v whether_o no_o authority_n in_o the_o depriver_n and_o no_o crime_n as_o to_o they_o in_o the_o deprive_v be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n for_o suspension_n or_o deprivation_n it_o be_v a_o odd_a way_n of_o answer_v a_o man_n in_o a_o particular_a case_n to_o float_v in_o general_n and_o keep_v as_o far_o from_o the_o question_n as_o may_v be_v but_o perhaps_o he_o will_v mend_v that_o anon_o at_o present_a we_o must_v attend_v to_o the_o solution_n of_o his_o question_n which_o in_o his_o singular_a way_n he_o perform_v by_o recite_v two_o objection_n and_o as_o many_o answer_n to_o they_o from_o mr._n mason_n and_o to_o make_v short_a work_n i_o will_v grant_v he_o all_o that_o mason_n say_v where_o there_o be_v as_o our_o author_n call_v it_o a_o sufficient_a reason_n for_o so_o do_v and_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v not_o have_v it_o do_v without_o or_o against_o reason_n and_o so_o pass_v by_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n which_o he_o have_v leave_v i_o to_o peruse_v at_o leisure_n till_o i_o have_v more_o spare_a time_n i_o will_v direct_o come_v to_o his_o second_o question_n and_o try_v whether_o he_o have_v any_o better_a fortune_n there_o he_o be_v not_o agree_v with_o himself_o how_o he_o shall_v word_n his_o second_o question_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v set_v down_o that_o where_o he_o express_v himself_o most_o at_o large_a and_o maintain_v the_o afirmative_a whether_o it_o may_v not_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o secular_a power_n to_o deprive_v person_n in_o order_n for_o crime_n commit_v against_o the_o state_n and_o particular_o upon_o refusal_n to_o give_v security_n to_o the_o government_n for_o their_o peaceable_a behaviour_n and_o allegiance_n by_o oath_n this_o he_o affirm_v and_o he_o say_v i_o express_o deny_v which_o be_v express_o false_a as_o may_v appear_v from_o those_o very_a word_n of_o i_o which_o he_o have_v cite_v to_o prove_v his_o assertion_n for_o there_o i_o do_v allow_v a_o deprivation_n by_o the_o secular_a power_n where_o either_o the_o just_a censure_n of_o the_o church_n have_v pass_v on_o any_o or_o they_o do_v merit_v deposition_n and_o that_o i_o think_v they_o may_v do_v though_o a_o censure_n be_v not_o actual_o pass_v upon_o they_o but_o if_o you_o will_v have_v the_o deprivation_n valid_a even_o to_o their_o acquiescence_n where_o the_o secular_a power_n or_o that_o which_o call_v itself_o a_o secular_a power_n say_v that_o a_o crime_n be_v commit_v against_o it_o you_o must_v not_o only_o justify_v queen_n mary_n in_o deprive_v edward_n the_o sixth_n bishop_n but_o you_o must_v condemn_v those_o deprive_a bishop_n for_o make_v a_o schism_n and_o not_o join_v in_o communion_n as_o layman_n i._n e._n that_o they_o do_v not_o turn_v papist_n but_o let_v we_o examine_v his_o defence_n i_o answer_v say_v he_o with_o mason_n where_o be_v the_o act_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o deposition_n of_o ablathar_n and_o where_o be_v the_o ecclesiastical_a crime_n he_o be_v charge_v with_o do_v mason_n then_o use_v thus_o to_o answer_v with_o question_n but_o your_o question_n shall_v have_v answer_n however_o and_o first_o i_o think_v it_o not_o very_o clear_a whether_o the_o jewish_a church_n do_v afford_v so_o sufficient_a a_o ecclesiastical_a remedy_n against_o their_o criminal_a high_a priest_n as_o the_o christian_a church_n do_v against_o criminal_a bishop_n and_o if_o so_o than_o it_o be_v altogether_o necessary_a both_o for_o church_n and_o state_n that_o their_o king_n who_o be_v of_o god_n own_o appointment_n and_o something_o more_o than_o a_o mere_a secular_a person_n shall_v interpose_v his_o authority_n without_o any_o deference_n to_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n second_o you_o may_v inquire_v but_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o neither_o you_o nor_o i_o can_v certain_o tell_v whether_o abiathar_n be_v censure_v by_o the_o sanhedrim_n or_o not_o for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o record_v that_o he_o be_v so_o neither_o be_v it_o that_o he_o be_v not_o three_o though_o it_o be_v very_o convenient_a in_o itself_o agreeable_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o church_n and_o make_v much_o for_o the_o peace_n both_o of_o church_n and_o state_n that_o christian_a king_n in_o punish_v ecclesiastic_n will_v take_v the_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n along_o with_o they_o which_o will_v make_v the_o condemnation_n of_o such_o person_n more_o terrible_a and_o notorious_a yet_o if_o the_o clergy_n shall_v refuse_v as_o it_o will_v be_v their_o fault_n so_o it_o do_v not_o hinder_v the_o secular_a power_n to_o punish_v offender_n according_a to_o justice_n but_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o will_v do_v he_o no_o service_n because_o there_o be_v case_n wherein_o ecclesiastic_n deprive_v by_o even_o a_o lawful_a secular_a power_n may_v yet_o remain_v oblige_v to_o execute_v their_o commission_n from_o christ_n though_o at_o their_o peril_n or_o else_o the_o apostle_n and_o primitive_a bishop_n must_v be_v condemn_v and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v much_o more_o lawful_a when_o for_o adhere_v to_o right_n they_o be_v deprive_v only_o by_o a_o pretend_a power_n but_o i_o suppose_v this_o virtuoso_fw-la will_v say_v that_o jehojada_n have_v be_v bind_v to_o leave_v of_o all_o care_n of_o discharge_v his_o duty_n of_o high_a priest_n if_o athaliah_n have_v deprive_v he_o as_o to_o his_o second_o question_n where_o be_v the_o ecclesiastical_a crime_n abiathar_n be_v charge_v with_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o i_o speak_v of_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n yet_o i_o do_v never_o limit_v the_o matter_n to_o pure_a ecclesiastical_a crime_n nor_o have_v i_o that_o i_o can_v remember_v so_o much_o as_o use_v that_o phrase_n for_o the_o church_n may_v censure_v whatsoever_o be_v contra_fw-la bonos_fw-es more_o be_v though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o secular_a power_n punish_v it_o as_o a_o
