have_v continue_v that_o discipline_n in_o church_n affair_n which_o he_o call_v persecute_v so_o that_o as_o yet_o whatever_o have_v be_v declare_v by_o the_o people_n diffusive_o or_o collected_o have_v be_v contradictory_n to_o our_o author_n liberty_n and_o possible_o this_o may_v be_v the_o cause_n why_o though_o he_o cry_v they_o up_o for_o so_o refine_v a_o party_n and_o fit_a to_o be_v trust_v yet_o that_o in_o this_o particular_a he_o will_v bind_v up_o their_o hand_n absolute_o &_o not_o trust_v they_o at_o all_o i_o will_v hope_v our_o author_n be_v not_o popish_o incline_v because_o of_o his_o expression_n in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o his_o seven_o page_n viz_o that_o by_o what_o be_v propose_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o outward_a exercise_n of_o antichristian_a

design_n and_o if_o our_o author_n do_v he_o have_v need_v true_o to_o shackle_v and_o manacle_v their_o representative_a before_o they_o fit_a since_o they_o will_v never_o do_v that_o to_o themselves_o after_o they_o sit_v but_o that_o you_o may_v see_v how_o little_a cause_n our_o author_n have_v to_o be_v offend_v in_o this_o particular_a read_v but_o the_o 36_o 37_o and_o 38._o article_n of_o the_o government_n wherein_o so_o large_a a_o latitude_n be_v allow_v in_o matter_n of_o conscience_n that_o i_o think_v no_o man_n have_v reason_n to_o repine_v that_o he_o have_v

the_o government_n i_o desire_v but_o that_o he_o will_v credit_v himself_o to_o evince_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o assert_v for_o in_o the_o upper_a part_n of_o his_o eight_o page_n he_o make_v use_v of_o these_o very_a word_n that_o therein_o viz._n true_a freedom_n in_o matter_n of_o conscience_n the_o present_a governor_n have_v be_v willing_a very_o eminent_o to_o give_v their_o
