and_o to_o our_o posterity_n of_o the_o engagement_n of_o the_o state_n hitherto_o i_o have_v reflect_v upon_o the_o reason_n which_o shall_v induce_v the_o godly_a professor_n in_o these_o nation_n to_o intend_v the_o duty_n of_o holy_a communion_n and_o correspondency_n among_o themselves_o and_o with_o their_o neighbour_n for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o holy_a profession_n and_o the_o maintain_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n un_o animous_o in_o this_o our_o generation_n now_o it_o remain_v to_o show_v how_o far_o they_o be_v engage_v beyond_o other_o in_o this_o work_n and_o that_o the_o state_n itself_o as_o christian_n be_v not_o free_a from_o this_o engagement_n but_o aught_o to_o mind_v it_o and_o advance_v the_o work_n in_o a_o lead_a way_n for_o if_o it_o have_v be_v make_v out_o convince_o both_o upon_o spiritual_a and_o rational_a ground_n that_o not_o only_o for_o the_o advancement_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n in_o the_o world_n but_o also_o for_o the_o outward_a safety_n and_o preservation_n of_o the_o church_n which_o from_o within_o be_v undermine_v and_o from_o without_o be_v assault_v a_o religious_a correspondency_n be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o they_o then_o a_o enquiry_n may_v be_v and_o aught_o also_o to_o be_v make_v further_o of_o two_o thing_n first_o to_o who_o the_o procurement_n of_o this_o correspondency_n do_v chiefl_o belong_v second_o how_o it_o may_v be_v procure_v and_o maintain_v among_o the_o church_n and_o to_o answer_v in_o general_a term_n these_o question_n i_o conceive_v we_o may_v say_v thus_o that_o the_o procurement_n of_o this_o correspondency_n do_v chief_o belong_v to_o those_o who_o stand_v most_o in_o need_n thereof_o for_o their_o own_o welfare_n and_o safety_n and_o who_o have_v most_o eminent_o engage_v themselves_o to_o undertake_v the_o procurement_n of_o it_o and_o that_o the_o way_n to_o procure_v it_o among_o the_o church_n 10.24_o phil_n 2.4_o heb._n 10.24_o can_v be_v none_o other_o but_o a_o christian_a endeavour_n to_o live_v and_o converse_v with_o other_o professor_n in_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n which_o be_v not_o to_o look_v to_o our_o own_o thing_n alone_o but_o that_o every_o one_o shall_v look_v also_o to_o the_o thing_n of_o other_o and_o in_o the_o consideration_n of_o other_o to_o provoke_v they_o unto_o love_n and_o to_o good_a work_n of_o a_o common_a concernment_n thus_o much_o in_o general_a but_o then_o to_o answer_v the_o first_o query_n in_o particular_a i_o conceive_v it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v that_o the_o godly_a party_n live_v in_o this_o commonwealth_n do_v stand_v in_o more_o need_n of_o this_o correspondency_n for_o the_o welfare_n of_o their_o cause_n and_o for_o their_o own_o safety_n than_o any_o o_o her_o church_n do_v and_o that_o the_o same_o party_n together_o with_o the_o state_n have_v more_o eminent_o engage_v itself_o towards_o god_n and_o man_n to_o undertake_v the_o procurement_n of_o this_o correspondency_n than_o any_o other_o state_n or_o church_n have_v do_v and_o to_o make_v out_o both_o these_o assertion_n to_o be_v truth_n i_o shall_v brief_o offer_v these_o consideration_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o need_n which_o they_o stand_v of_o it_o it_o be_v in_o my_o apprehension_n thus_o the_o godly_a party_n of_o this_o nation_n with_o the_o state_n have_v be_v lead_v forth_o in_o a_o peculiar_a way_n of_o act_v against_o the_o world_n and_o against_o antichrist_n which_o other_o have_v not_o be_v acquaint_v withal_o this_o act_n have_v set_v they_o in_o opposition_n not_o only_o to_o the_o world_n and_o antichrist_n in_o a_o more_o direct_a way_n than_o other_o but_o also_o put_v they_o at_o a_o distance_n from_o their_o brethren_n themselves_o who_o partly_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o weakness_n partly_o for_o want_v of_o that_o information_n which_o we_o shall_v have_v give_v they_o partly_o because_o they_o have_v be_v prepossess_v with_o false_a and_o

as_o brethren_n and_o look_v upon_o we_o rather_o as_o apostate_n from_o the_o cause_n and_o separate_v from_o all_o relation_n towards_o other_o protestant_n in_o their_o esteem_n we_o be_v a_o new_a
