because_o christ_n will_v not_o let_v he_o be_v silence_v that_o preach_v in_o his_o name_n that_o therefore_o we_o may_v follow_v he_o without_o some_o order_n for_o if_o god_n will_v not_o destroy_v

that_o because_o the_o apostle_n live_v and_o continue_v in_o this_o hazard_n be_v withal_o because_o they_o be_v send_v in_o short_a then_o shall_v i_o not_o be_v a_o self-murderer_n to_o run_v

i_o may_v just_o presume_v on_o his_o warrant_n or_o else_o my_o fallibility_n will_v make_v i_o a_o deceiver_n though_o never_o so_o sincere_a it_o be_v the_o real_a duty_n of_o every_o man_n therefore_o to_o say_v i_o will_v not_o move_v a_o inch_n beyond_o private_a advice_n till_o god_n shall_v give_v i_o authority_n nay_o more_o no_o faint_a dream_n or_o vision_n shall_v empower_v i_o

and_o can_v justify_v that_o commission_n by_o miracle_n as_o they_o do_v to_o affront_v the_o establish_v religion_n of_o a_o nation_n though_o it_o be_v false_a and_o open_o to_o draw_v man_n off_o from_o the_o profession_n of_o it_o in_o contempt_n to_o the_o magistrate_n and_o the_o law_n all_o that_o person_n of_o a_o different_a religion_n can_v in_o such_o a_o case_n reasonable_o pretend_v to_o be_v to_o enjoy_v the_o private_a liberty_n and_o exercise_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o religion_n for_o which_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v very_o thankful_a and_o to_o forbear_v the_o open_a make_n of_o proselyte_n to_o their_o own_o religion_n thou_o they_o be_v never_o so_o sure_a that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o right_a till_o they_o have_v either_o a_o extraordinary_a commission_n from_o god_n to_o that_o purpose_n or_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n make_v way_n for_o it_o by_o the_o permission_n or_o connivance_n of_o the_o magistrate_n not_o but_o that_o every_o man_n have_v a_o right_a to_o publish_v and_o propagate_v the_o true_a religion_n and_o to_o declare_v it_o against_o a_o false_a one_o but_o there_o be_v no_o obligation_n upon_o any_o man_n to_o attempt_v this_o
