conscience_n and_o thus_o you_o may_v see_v it_o take_v away_o no_o authority_n which_o god_n have_v give_v to_o they_o the_o next_o thing_n you_o say_v be_v that_o they_o can_v be_v certain_a that_o their_o servant_n and_o child_n sanctify_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o indeed_o unbelieving_a master_n take_v as_o little_a care_n of_o this_o as_o they_o that_o have_v give_v liberty_n to_o profane_v the_o lord_n day_n but_o believe_v parent_n and_o master_n may_v easy_o know_v if_o their_o child_n or_o servant_n be_v of_o any_o congregation_n what_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n be_v and_o therefore_o this_o can_v hinder_v no_o duty_n or_o work_n of_o family_n as_o you_o false_o affirm_v nor_o across_v the_o good_a and_o peace_n of_o family_n by_o this_o you_o may_v see_v that_o this_o your_o groundless_a affirmation_n be_v no_o good_a reason_n against_o toleration_n and_o therefore_o the_o court_n of_o parliament_n to_o who_o you_o submit_v for_o judgement_n may_v easy_o see_v that_o good_a member_n both_o for_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n may_v issue_v out_o of_o such_o family_n that_o live_v under_o christ_n government_n and_o that_o such_o family_n may_v be_v good_a nursery_n both_o for_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n thus_o much_o for_o your_o three_o reason_n in_o your_o four_o reason_n you_o do_v affirm_v that_o there_o will_v be_v great_a danger_n of_o dispute_n among_o you_o about_o government_n and_o worship_n and_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n in_o the_o conclusion_n you_o say_v it_o will_v be_v about_o a_o question_n where_o saint_n go_v when_o they_o die_v whether_o to_o heaven_n or_o a_o three_o place_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v a_o question_n i_o never_o hear_v among_o the_o separate_v or_o any_o of_o those_o who_o you_o call_v independent_a man_n but_o among_o the_o papist_n of_o rome_n and_o england_n the_o next_o thing_n be_v about_o sit_v with_o hat_n on_o to_o break_v bread_n i_o answer_v this_o may_v be_v a_o question_n indeed_o but_o not_o to_o breed_v division_n for_o it_o may_v be_v as_o lawful_a for_o one_o man_n to_o sit_v cover_v and_o another_o uncover_v as_o it_o may_v be_v lawful_a for_o one_o man_n to_o receive_v it_o sit_v and_o another_o lie_v in_o bed_n but_o if_o any_o man_n list_v to_o be_v contentious_a the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v no_o such_o custom_n thus_o much_o for_o your_o four_o reason_n in_o your_o five_o reason_n you_o affirm_v that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o kingdom_n can_v have_v little_a assurance_n of_o the_o continuance_n of_o their_o flock_n to_o they_o if_o such_o a_o toleration_n be_v grant_v but_o that_o the_o tolerate_a church_n will_v admit_v they_o into_o fellowship_n and_o increase_v church_n out_o of_o their_o labour_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v do_v little_a else_o but_o spend_v and_o be_v spend_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o you_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o christ_n as_o you_o will_v be_v take_v to_o be_v it_o may_v be_v your_o comfort_n joy_n and_o glory_n for_o it_o be_v the_o apostle_n work_v to_o gather_v the_o saint_n and_o to_o travel_v in_o birth_n of_o child_n and_o they_o do_v not_o grudge_v that_o they_o be_v add_v unto_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n but_o take_v care_n for_o they_o be_v so_o add_v for_o the_o care_n of_o all_o church_n lay_v upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v as_o father_n and_o nurse_n unto_o they_o and_o the_o gospel_n admit_v of_o no_o such_o theft_n as_o to_o steal_v away_o member_n from_o other_o church_n but_o if_o man_n draw_v near_o to_o the_o truth_n which_o never_o be_v member_n of_o any_o church_n and_o offer_v themselves_o to_o join_v unto_o we_o we_o may_v admit_v they_o upon_o good_a experience_n of_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n for_o those_o member_n that_o travel_v from_o one_o church_n to_o another_o be_v commend_v unto_o those_o church_n by_o letter_n from_o the_o church_n where_o they_o be_v member_n or_o else_o they_o can_v not_o have_v be_v admit_v and_o thus_o you_o may_v see_v the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n admit_v of_o no_o such_o disorder_n now_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o this_o toleration_n upon_o any_o light_a occasion_n of_o demand_v due_n or_o preach_v against_o any_o thing_n they_o like_v not_o open_v a_o wide_a door_n and_o will_v invite_v they_o to_o desert_v their_o minister_n i_o answer_v by_o demand_v of_o that_o which_o you_o call_v due_n you_o may_v indeed_o give_v just_a occasion_n for_o you_o may_v demand_v for_o due_a that_o which_o be_v not_o due_a as_o all_o the_o priest_n of_o england_n do_v likewise_o by_o preach_v of_o doctrine_n you_o may_v give_v just_a occasion_n if_o you_o justify_v the_o wicked_a and_o condemn_v the_o just_a and_o make_v sad_a the_o heart_n of_o those_o who_o god_n will_v not_o have_v make_v sad_a and_o then_o if_o your_o people_n fly_v from_o you_o you_o may_v thank_v yourselves_o but_o concerning_o what_o you_o count_v to_o be_v your_o due_n i_o will_v declare_v hereafter_o *_o toleration_n thus_o much_o for_o your_o five_o reason_n now_o in_o the_o beginning_n of_o your_o six_o reason_n you_o say_v that_o liberty_n will_v be_v a_o undoubted_a mean_n and_o way_n of_o their_o infinite_a multiplication_n and_o increase_n even_o to_o thirty_o foul_v true_o i_o think_v you_o be_v afraid_a as_o pharaoh_n be_v lest_o the_o lord_n people_n shall_v grow_v mighty_a than_o you_o next_o you_o say_v if_o the_o parliament_n can_v like_v to_o have_v more_o of_o the_o breed_n of_o they_o and_o have_v a_o delight_n to_o have_v multitude_n exempt_v from_o the_o ecclesiastical_a law_n of_o the_o land_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v it_o be_v no_o disgrace_n to_o the_o parliament_n if_o they_o shall_v so_o delight_v though_o never_o parliament_n before_o have_v do_v the_o like_a moreover_o you_o say_v they_o have_v increase_v within_o this_o nine_o month_n without_o a_o toleration_n therefore_o you_o conclude_v they_o will_v multiply_v much_o if_o they_o have_v a_o toleration_n in_o many_o if_o not_o in_o most_o town_n and_o parish_n and_o you_o say_v it_o can_v be_v help_v all_o this_o i_o grant_v may_v be_v although_o they_o have_v not_o a_o toleration_n i_o think_v they_o will_v increase_v for_o the_o taskemaster_n can_v lay_v no_o heavy_a burden_n upon_o they_o than_o they_o have_v lay_v already_o but_o though_o they_o shall_v increase_v it_o will_v not_o be_v unprofitable_a for_o the_o increase_n of_o believer_n will_v be_v the_o strength_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o they_o will_v in_o all_o lawful_a thing_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o king_n majesty_n their_o dread_a sovereign_a and_o to_o all_o the_o wholesome_a law_n of_o his_o land_n and_o therefore_o it_o will_v be_v no_o danger_n to_o have_v as_o you_o say_v swarm_n of_o they_o thus_o much_o for_o your_o six_o reason_n in_o your_o seven_o reason_n you_o affirm_v that_o it_o will_v be_v very_o pre●udiciall_a dangerous_a 29._o and_o insufferable_a to_o this_o kingdom_n for_o saint_n two_o or_o three_o or_o more_o to_o gather_v and_o combine_v themselves_o in_o church_n fellowship_n have_v one_o ●●_z power_n from_o christ_n their_o immediate_a head_n without_o expect_v warrant_n from_o any_o governor_n first_o whereas_o you_o say_v it_o will_v be_v prejudicial_a i_o answer_v it_o can_v prejudice_v none_o in_o the_o kingdom_n except_o it_o be_v the_o priest_n and_o it_o will_v be_v but_o of_o a_o little_a tithe_n which_o they_o dare_v not_o in_o conscience_n pay_v because_o those_o jewish_a ceremony_n be_v cease_v and_o if_o they_o have_v not_o toleration_n that_o will_v be_v all_o one_o in_o that_o respect_n for_o they_o will_v rather_o suffer_v then_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o conscience_n now_o whereas_o you_o say_v it_o will_v be_v dangerous_a and_o insufferable_a to_o the_o kingdom_n both_o these_o i_o deny_v for_o if_o they_o be_v offensive_a people_n two_o or_o three_o or_o a_o few_o can_v do_v but_o little_a hurt_n but_o they_o have_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o peaceable_a people_n and_o the_o suffering_n of_o such_o have_v never_o be_v dangerous_a to_o any_o

seem_v to_o imply_v that_o they_o shall_v ask_v leave_n of_o the_o magistrate_n to_o gather_v and_o combine_v themselves_o into_o visible_a church_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v i_o do_v not_o read_v

very_a suggestion_n of_o satan_n into_o the_o heart_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n for_o they_o have_v a_o desire_n of_o some_o thing_n more_o than_o be_v warrant_v by_o god_n take_v unto_o they_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n as_o you_o will_v have_v the_o lord_n church_n to_o do_v when_o you_o say_v they_o must_v take_v some_o other_o beside_o these_o church_n and_o officer_n and_o that_o to_o

the_o furniture_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n and_o we_o know_v their_o authority_n be_v limit_v within_o the_o bound_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o first_o if_o any_o of_o they_o will_v be_v great_a

of_o they_o you_o seem_v to_o contradict_v yourself_o and_o will_v fain_o cure_v it_o again_o in_o that_o some_o other_o way_n which_o you_o say_v you_o have_v to_o supply_v the_o want_n of_o they_o but_o this_o other_o way_n you_o have_v not_o yet_o make_v know_v you_o presuppose_v it_o may_v be_v by_o some_o sinod_n and_o counsel_n to_o make_v a_o conjunction_n of_o the_o whole_a if_o you_o

say_v before_o and_o that_o which_o we_o grant_v for_o this_o be_v still_o the_o furniture_n of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o if_o you_o intend_v that_o your_o counsel_n shall_v consist_v of_o a_o army_n of_o archbishop_n diocesan_n bishop_n dean_n suffragan_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o that_o rabble_n which_o be_v for_o their_o title_n name_n of_o blasphemy_n and_o such_o as_o be_v breed_v in_o the_o

of_o the_o forbid_a tree_n which_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v take_v and_o eat_v and_o this_o seek_v out_o invention_n of_o their_o own_o after_o that_o god_n make_v they_o righteous_a have_v

if_o these_o be_v that_o some_o other_o supply_n which_o you_o mean_v and_o have_v produce_v to_o help_v the_o church_n and_o city_n of_o god_n as_o you_o call_v they_o to_o determine_v for_o those_o church_n and_o city_n the_o case_n of_o doctrine_n and_o discipline_n in_o stead_n of_o those_o many_o minister_n which_o you_o conceive_v they_o now_o to_o want_v it_o tend_v to_o make_v as_o they_o have_v now_o do_v a_o conjunction_n not_o only_o of_o all_o the_o church_n profess_v one_o faith_n into_o one_o body_n but_o also_o of_o all_o the_o army_n of_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o to_o

you_o affirm_v the_o independent_a congregation_n now_o have_v but_o few_o minister_n it_o be_v very_o true_a for_o indeed_o they_o be_v but_o a_o few_o people_n and_o a_o few_o hand_n will_v feed_v

be_v independent_a i_o think_v they_o conceive_v by_o those_o ground_n the_o office_n only_o of_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n but_o not_o that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v need_n at_o any_o time_n
