christian_n of_o his_o own_o way_n or_o of_o other_o whensoever_o that_o can_v be_v seasonable_o endeavour_v for_o upon_o more_o probable_a and_o hopeful_a term_n than_o he_o have_v propose_v in_o this_o sermon_n therefore_o be_v you_o serious_a and_o fervent_a in_o request_n to_o this_o purpose_n as_o you_o have_v that_o love_n to_o god_n and_o his_o church_n which_o you_o profess_v and_o that_o value_v for_o this_o worthy_a person_n which_o i_o reckon_v you_o still_o aught_o to_o have_v or_o if_o that_o can_v be_v fit_a to_o be_v add_v any_o kindness_n for_o sir_n your_o affectionate_a servant_n etc._n etc._n since_o my_o writing_n these_o page_n i_o hear_v of_o answer_n to_o the_o dean_n sermon_n which_o in_o so_o remote_a a_o corner_n i_o have_v have_v no_o opportunity_n to_o see_v what_o be_v here_o write_v may_v therefore_o upon_o compare_v be_v communicate_v or_o suppress_v as_o shall_v be_v think_v fit_a and_o so_o i_o shall_v take_v leave_n of_o you_o but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v needful_a whereas_o i_o have_v principal_o consider_v in_o these_o paper_n the_o case_n of_o such_o as_o think_v it_o unlawful_a to_o join_v in_o the_o public_a assembly_n to_o add_v somewhat_o whosoever_o it_o may_v serve_v in_o reference_n to_o their_o case_n that_o think_v otherwise_o for_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n this_o be_v here_o the_o more_o common_a case_n and_o though_o the_o doctor_n believe_v they_o that_o frequent_v the_o separate_a meeting_n do_v general_o judge_v it_o unlawful_a to_o join_v in_o the_o public_a howsoever_o it_o be_v with_o you_o and_o it_o be_v likely_a the_o doctor_n speak_v of_o what_o be_v more_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o his_o own_o knowledge_n or_o they_o who_o inform_v he_o it_o be_v with_o we_o in_o this_o part_n of_o this_o country_n quite_o contrary_a and_o i_o may_v true_o say_v that_o in_o this_o place_n and_o other_o where_o i_o have_v sometime_o occasional_o be_v the_o generality_n of_o they_o who_o come_v to_o the_o other_o meeting_n do_v also_o attend_v the_o public_a now_o these_o may_v perhaps_o think_v themselves_o leave_v under_o blame_n and_o may_v apprehend_v the_o doctor_n consequence_n be_v strong_a against_o they_o that_o if_o occasional_a communion_n be_v lawful_a constant_a communion_n must_v be_v a_o duty_n which_o he_o no_o doubt_n understand_v exclusive_o of_o any_o distinct_a way_n of_o communion_n and_o if_o indeed_o they_o judge_v that_o consequence_n strong_a i_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o hurt_v they_o can_v think_v it_o do_v they_o why_o shall_v any_o man_n be_v afraid_a of_o his_o duty_n or_o of_o the_o truth_n which_o make_v it_o know_v and_o if_o hereupon_o they_o can_v with_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n wave_n all_o other_o opportunity_n of_o worship_v god_n with_o other_o of_o his_o people_n they_o have_v the_o less_o to_o do_v and_o why_o shall_v they_o complain_v who_o be_v satisfy_v but_o in_o short_a either_o they_o apprehend_v such_o other_o additional_a mean_n a_o real_a necessary_a help_n and_o advantage_n to_o they_o or_o they_o do_v not_o if_o they_o do_v not_o they_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o trouble_v themselves_o nor_o to_o grudge_v that_o so_o much_o be_v say_v for_o other_o who_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v may_v as_o the_o doctor_n think_v for_o i_o can_v make_v a_o estimate_n from_o this_o or_o that_o little_a spot_n be_v the_o much_o more_o common_a case_n if_o they_o do_v they_o have_v little_a reason_n to_o be_v concern_v about_o the_o doctor_n consequence_n which_o i_o much_o wonder_v if_o he_o himself_o can_v think_v strong_a it_o have_v not_o you_o see_v be_v altogether_o overlook_v in_o the_o forego_n discourse_n and_o if_o any_o feel_v themselves_o wound_v by_o it_o he_o be_v so_o great_a a_o achilles_n that_o they_o may_v have_v their_o wound_n and_o heal_n from_o the_o same_o hand_n for_o as_o have_v be_v note_v from_o he_o in_o his_o preface_n to_o the_o
