you_o master_n edw●rds_n will_v you_o have_v magistrate_n and_o king_n and_o prince_n to_o have_v more_o power_n over_o their_o subject_n then_o over_o their_o body_n estate_n and_o life_n will_v

to_o the_o imperial_a crown_n of_o this_o realm_n for_o christ_n church_n to_o be_v govern_v by_o christ_n own_o law_n the_o next_o thing_n be_v you_o say_v the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n be_v

a_o affirmation_n or_o a_o conclusion_n namely_o that_o these_o independent_a man_n give_v power_n to_o the_o church_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v if_o they_o shall_v do_v so_o they_o be_v very_o

the_o late_a part_n of_o your_o question_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n that_o these_o man_n do_v desire_n from_o their_o heart_n as_o well_o as_o all_o the_o lord_n people_n that_o the_o king_n may_v defend_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o daily_o make_v their_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n to_o god_n for_o he_o and_o that_o in_o conscience_n and_o

the_o title_n as_o queen_n elizabeth_n etc._n etc._n second_o you_o say_v they_o hold_v that_o the_o imposition_n of_o lawful_a thing_n do_v make_v they_o unlawful_a which_o you_o say_v be_v a_o strange_a paradox_n ●●_z i_o answer_v the_o imposition_n of_o lawful_a thing_n do_v not_o make_v they_o unlawful_a if_o he_o that_o impose_v they_o have_v authority_n so_o to_o do_v as_o for_o

in_o itself_o yet_o it_o make_v the_o use_n of_o it_o unlawful_a at_o that_o time_n both_o to_o he_o and_o to_o i_o but_o as_o for_o form_n of_o prayer_n which_o you_o say_v they_o do_v confess_v to_o

and_o not_o the_o church_n by_o the_o minister_n the_o next_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o your_o reason_n be_v your_o peremptory_a affirmation_n but_o ground_v upon_o no_o scripture_n namely_o that_o to_o set_v up_o independent_a and_o separate_a church_n be_v a_o schism_n in_o itself_o and_o that_o it_o will_v make_v great_a disturbance_n in_o the_o church_n both_o to_o the_o outward_a peace_n and_o to_o the_o faith_n and_o conscience_n of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o kingdom_n now_o that_o it_o be_v a_o schism_n in_o itself_o i_o deny_v and_o prove_v the_o contrary_a thus_o god_n have_v command_v all_o his_o people_n to_o separate_v themselves_o from_o all_o idolatry_n c_o 17._o and_o false_a worship_v d_o 12._o and_o false_a worshipper_n e_o 4._o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o schism_n except_o you_o will_v make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o schism_n and_o this_o be_v according_a to_o the_o prophet_n esaiahs_n word_n isaiah_n 1._o which_o be_v the_o first_o lesson_n that_o every_o one_o ought_v to_o learn_v even_o to_o cease_v to_o do_v evil_a but_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o they_o be_v to_o learn_v another_o lesson_n which_o be_v to_o learn_v to_o do_v well_o but_o to_o do_v well_o be_v to_o keep_v all_o god_n commandment_n and_o to_o obey_v god_n rather_o than_o man_n now_o god_n command_n to_o his_o people_n be_v that_o they_o learn_v to_o know_v the_o form_n of_o the_o house_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o before_o and_o all_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o house_n and_o to_o do_v they_o ezek._n 43._o 11._o but_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n under_o the_o gospel_n among_o the_o rest_n be_v doctrine_n fellowship_n break_v of_o bread_n and_o prayer_n which_o ordinance_n the_o saint_n continue_v steadfast_o in_o and_o be_v commend_v for_o their_o constancy_n in_o the_o same_o act_n 2._o 42_o and_o that_o in_o every_o particular_a church_n or_o congregation_n though_o there_o be_v divers_a in_o one_o nation_n and_o yet_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o affirm_v it_o be_v any_o disturbance_n to_o the_o nation_n otherwise_o th●n_n christ_n have_v show_v shall_v ever_o be_v that_o

that_o he_o have_v set_v they_o in_o the_o world_n as_o lamb_n among_o wolf_n now_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o disagreement_n between_o lamb_n and_o wolf_n but_o the_o lamb_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n thereof_o by_o this_o you_o may_v see_v that_o separation_n be_v not_o a_o schism_n but_o obedience_n to_o god_n commandment_n and_o for_o any_o magistrate_n to_o give_v way_n for_o man_n to_o separate_v from_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o kingdom_n establish_v by_o law_n if_o that_o worship_n be_v not_o according_a to_o god_n law_n be_v the_o magistrate_n duty_n and_o the_o magistrate_n shall_v partake_v of_o no_o sin_n in_o so_o do_v because_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n commit_v therefore_o the_o magistrate_n ought_v not_o to_o forbid_v the_o practice_n of_o god_n worship_n when_o he_o
