suspect_v his_o own_o heart_n and_o think_v that_o possible_o some_o man_n live_v at_o a_o very_a high_a rate_n in_o spiritual_a enjoyment_n be_v whole_o at_o rest_n in_o god_n and_o have_v the_o less_o need_n of_o ordinance_n and_o for_o those_o that_o think_v the_o saint_n be_v here_o in_o full_a perfection_n of_o grace_n and_o glory_n his_o sinful_a heart_n tell_v he_o it_o be_v a_o error_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o judge_v any_o tree_n to_o be_v evil_a but_o by_o its_o fruit_n he_o know_v no_o hurt_n in_o a_o million_o of_o millenary-like_a error_n who_o will_v not_o be_v glad_a to_o see_v jesus_n christ_n that_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o he_o judge_v to_o be_v a_o great_a error_n for_o then_o all_o must_v be_v save_v or_o possible_o none_o may_v be_v save_v yet_o there_o be_v prudentiall_a reason_n and_o motive_n for_o it_o as_o the_o papist_n have_v for_o good_a work_n if_o not_o meritorious_a why_o command_v if_o he_o die_v not_o for_o all_o why_o be_v he_o preach_v to_o all_o yet_o the_o maintainer_n aim_n be_v thereby_o to_o honour_n and_o exalt_v christ_n which_o be_v the_o great_a design_n of_o the_o father_n and_o thereby_o his_o great_a study_n &_o so_o by_o different_a opinion_n he_o learn_v to_o do_v thing_n upon_o clear_a principle_n and_o so_o to_o walk_v in_o love_n and_o peace_n as_o see_v he_o who_o be_v invisible_a and_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o their_o brethren_n by_o the_o good_a leave_n of_o the_o maof_o the_o family_n and_o parliament_n may_v not_o live_v love_o together_o he_o think_v it_o very_o absurd_a that_o popish_a bishop_n shall_v ordain_v minister_n as_o if_o the_o sheep_n shall_v have_v no_o shepherd_n but_o such_o as_o the_o wolf_n appoint_v the_o rather_o for_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o abridge_v the_o people_n of_o that_o liberty_n of_o choose_v a_o apostle_n much_o less_o may_v a_o synod_n deprive_v they_o of_o choose_v their_o own_o officer_n he_o desire_v no_o toleration_n for_o any_o error_n against_o religion_n or_o state-policie_n but_o of_o some_o error_n in_o religion_n which_o do_v not_o raze_v the_o foundation_n conceive_v liberty_n to_o be_v the_o best_a mean_n to_o cure_v all_o such_o difference_n and_o that_o the_o sword_n have_v no_o capacity_n to_o settle_v religion_n be_v not_o sanctify_v to_o that_o purpose_n and_o if_o imprisonment_n cure_v a_o heretic_n it_o be_v but_o like_o his_o cure_v a_o enemy_n by_o let_v out_o the_o impostume_n when_o he_o think_v to_o kill_v he_o for_o mystical_a wolf_n be_v to_o be_v kill_v mystical_o and_o therefore_o marvellous_a that_o any_o politic_a christian_n shall_v oppose_v his_o desire_n for_o why_o may_v not_o he_o which_o five_o year_n since_o be_v for_o bishop_n consider_v the_o wheel_a vicissitude_n and_o revolution_n of_o thing_n five_o year_n hence_o be_v a_o independent_a he_o think_v compulsion_n be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o make_v hypocrite_n and_o if_o church_n papist_n be_v ever_o account_v most_o dangerous_a he_o wonder_v why_o man_n shall_v be_v force_v to_o go_v to_o church_n he_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o christian_n shall_v have_v most_o war_n who_o can_v least_o justify_v they_o but_o conceive_v it_o be_v for_o want_v of_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n the_o turk_n have_v more_o colour_n to_o come_v with_o three_o or_o four_o hundred_o thousand_o man_n to_o invade_v this_o kingdom_n because_o we_o be_v not_o of_o his_o religion_n than_o one_o protestant_n have_v to_o persecute_v another_o and_o he_o very_o believe_v that_o if_o every_o man_n may_v take_v his_o religion_n upon_o choice_n and_o trial_n thousand_o will_v be_v save_v which_o die_v secure_o make_v no_o question_n of_o their_o salvation_n he_o think_v it_o be_v a_o solecism_n for_o minister_n to_o bid_v man_n search_v the_o scripture_n when_o they_o may_v not_o profess_v that_o which_o they_o find_v to_o be_v true_a he_o find_v that_o this_o kingdom_n have_v have_v little_a peace_n since_o the_o bishop_n banish_a man_n into_o new_a england_n where_o independency_n have_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v the_o root_n of_o evil_a as_o it_o have_v cure_v schism_n and_o heresy_n he_o conceive_v the_o rigid_a presbyter_n be_v notable_a politician_n to_o put_v the_o parliament_n between_o themselves_o and_o the_o envy_n of_o the_o people_n for_o they_o do_v but_o untie_v the_o point_n and_o deliver_v the_o party_n to_o the_o magistrate_n to_o be_v whip_v as_o the_o papist_n do_v who_o put_v protestant_n to_o death_n because_o protestant_n delight_n in_o persecution_n but_o wish_v they_o will_v be_v moderate_a if_o they_o intend_v to_o last_v for_o the_o rigidness_n of_o the_o bishop_n be_v their_o ruin_n he_o do_v not_o find_v any_o punishment_n in_o scripture_n for_o tender_a conscience_n and_o by_o that_o politic_a law_n which_o put_v idolater_n to_o death_n their_o cattle_n also_o be_v to_o be_v destroy_v he_o will_v glad_o conform_v to_o the_o present_a government_n if_o he_o have_v his_o conscience_n at_o command_n in_o his_o own_o power_n and_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o carnal_a professor_n shall_v oppose_v liberty_n but_o because_o they_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v trouble_v about_o religion_n but_o have_v it_o put_v into_o their_o mouth_n by_o authority_n which_o they_o hope_v will_v stand_v between_o they_o and_o harm_n he_o conceive_v variety_n of_o opinion_n in_o circumstantial_o be_v but_o as_o one_o star_n differ_v from_o another_o difference_n in_o heart_n can_v hurt_v nor_o difference_n in_o head_n need_v not_o breed_v difference_n in_o heart_n and_o understand_v not_o why_o covenant_n shall_v be_v make_v to_o repair_v castle_n in_o the_o air_n and_o since_o the_o moderate_a disciplinarian_o agree_v that_o every_o congregation_n in_o america_n have_v entireness_n of_o jurisdiction_n intrinsical_o within_o itself_o he_o wonder_v that_o any_o man_n shall_v hold_v that_o church_n be_v in_o worse_a condition_n where_o the_o magistrate_n profess_v christianity_n or_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o favour_n that_o corporation_n may_v determine_v difference_n within_o themselves_o but_o he_o look_v not_o at_o the_o likelynesse_n of_o the_o mean_n but_o christ_n institution_n who_o be_v only_a king_n of_o the_o conscience_n and_o conceive_v that_o all_o the_o world_n have_v no_o more_o power_n over_o the_o conscience_n than_o a_o tinker_n have_v which_o can_v be_v no_o disparagement_n to_o say_v that_o a_o stone_n have_v as_o much_o life_n as_o the_o sun_n he_o conceive_v that_o mat._n 18._o tell_v the_o church_n be_v very_o plain_a word_n but_o that_o learned_a man_n have_v invent_v distinction_n to_o make_v they_o intricate_a and_o that_o christ_n have_v entrust_v the_o key_n to_o hang_v rather_o at_o his_o spouse_n girdle_n then_o with_o the_o steward_n and_o that_o a_o church_n censure_n be_v ratify_v in_o heaven_n there_o can_v be_v no_o appeal_n on_o earth_n to_o any_o other_o church_n he_o conceive_v that_o such_o a_o liberty_n will_v wonderful_o endear_v all_o conscientious_a man_n to_o the_o magistrate_n the_o king_n and_o parliament_n will_v gain_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n without_o which_o all_o obedience_n will_v be_v uncordiall_a compulsion_n can_v no_o more_o gain_v the_o heart_n than_o the_o fish_n can_v love_v the_o fisherman_n as_o for_o those_o argument_n of_o disorder_n and_o confusion_n the_o two_o theological_a scarecrow_n he_o conceive_v they_o be_v but_o imaginary_a vain_a fear_n yet_o have_v be_v so_o drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o saint_n that_o like_o lycurgus_n vine_n he_o will_v never_o have_v they_o more_o urge_v for_o a_o heretic_n be_v but_o to_o be_v reject_v and_o as_o luther_n say_v to_o be_v burn_v with_o the_o fire_n of_o charity_n nor_o shall_v we_o send_v they_o to_o hell_n who_o give_v no_o sign_n of_o repentance_n he_o be_v a_o irreconcilable_a enemy_n to_o tyranny_n and_o popery_n and_o it_o be_v the_o joy_n of_o his_o heart_n that_o god_n may_v have_v glory_n though_o in_o his_o confusion_n he_o count_v every_o godly_a presbyterian_a to_o be_v his_o dear_a brother_n but_o not_o to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o truth_n he_o conceive_v that_o whosoever_o be_v above_o his_o brother_n in_o spiritual_a matter_n unless_o empower_v be_v a_o pray_fw-mi ate_z &_o the_o only_a way_n to_o make_v the_o assembly_n more_o victorious_a than_o alexander_n be_v by_o reason_n and_o gentleness_n to_o conquer_v conscience_n without_o blood_n he_o conceive_v that_o magistrate_n in_o probability_n to_o be_v more_o religious_a that_o will_v suffer_v differ_a opinion_n consist_v with_o the_o public_a peace_n than_o he_o that_o haman-like_a will_v have_v all_o to_o bow_v and_o stoop_v to_o his_o sheaf_n and_o that_o all_o
