peace_n of_o both_o kingdom_n which_o must_v be_v little_o less_o than_o a_o miracle_n if_o he_o do_v as_o for_o my_o hand_n that_o it_o be_v at_o the_o warrant_n of_o restraint_n of_o the_o

by_o the_o whole_a national_a synod_n of_o england_n then_o all_o this_o high_a charge_n fall_v low_a enough_o beside_o it_o will_v concern_v they_o to_o consider_v well_o what_o their_o proceed_n

that_o live_v in_o it_o and_o i_o for_o my_o part_n shall_v hold_v no_o man_n a_o sound_v divine_a that_o run_v contrary_a to_o it_o now_o that_o the_o primitive_a christian_n be_v of_o opinion_n

then_o i_o will_v give_v such_o far_a answer_n as_o be_v fit_a but_o if_o the_o canon_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o sound_a politic_n i_o know_v not_o which_o they_o call_v sound_a for_o if_o they_o mean_v such_o as_o be_v of_o their_o feather_n i_o think_v their_o judgement_n be_v alike_o sound_v that_o be_v neither_o and_o if_o they_o mean_v learned_a and_o well_o experience_a

to_o offend_v again_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n it_o be_v but_o once_o and_o your_o lordship_n will_v consider_v the_o occasion_n in_o this_o suit_n be_v there_o need_v i_o will_v join_v with_o my_o

whole_a discourse_n of_o my_o lord_n well_o weigh_v be_v more_o against_o himself_o then_o i_o and_o such_o trouble_v of_o his_o lordship_n i_o hope_v all_o man_n well_o affect_v to_o the_o present_a church_n of_o england_n will_v easy_o pardon_v and_o this_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o their_o lordship_n and_o all_o man_n else_o will_v the_o rather_o do_v when_o they_o consider_v the_o occasion_n which_o certain_o i_o give_v not_o personal_o in_o the_o house_n but_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n it_o seem_v will_v needs_o be_v mean_v the_o second_o request_n be_v to_o entreat_v of_o you_o that_o where_o you_o know_v there_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n worship_v one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n embrace_v one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n work_v love_n and_o cause_v a_o unblamable_a

and_o sin_n against_o christ._n in_o this_o second_o request_n i_o can_v easy_o agree_v with_o my_o lord_n in_o some_o thing_n but_o must_v differ_v in_o other_o and_o first_o i_o agree_v with_o all_o my_o 1._o heart_n that_o i_o will_v have_v no_o pressure_n at_o all_o much_o less_o cut_v off_o from_o their_o native_a country_n put_v upon_o they_o who_o be_v know_v to_o worship_v the_o same_o

and_o the_o same_o god_n who_o they_o worship_v yet_o the_o worship_n be_v not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o for_o my_o lord_n say_v plain_o that_o our_o set_a form_n be_v superstition_n and_o that_o

who_o weakness_n in_o resist_v they_o have_v before_o experience_v in_o novation_n of_o government_n and_o of_o some_o point_n of_o worship_n and_o rushw._n therefore_o england_n conform_v to_o rome_n even_o in_o those_o matter_n wherein_o england_n have_v separate_v from_o rome_n ever_o since_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n these_o man_n out_o of_o doubt_n have_v or_o take_v on_o they_o to_o

which_o i_o answer_v at_o both_o time_n first_o that_o the_o statute_n of_o ed._n 6._o speak_v of_o other_o image_n and_o that_o image_n in_o glass-window_n be_v neither_o mention_v nor_o mean_v in_o

the_o contemporary_a practice_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o best_a expounder_n of_o the_o meaning_n of_o any_o law_n do_v neither_o destroy_v all_o colour_a window_n though_o image_n be_v in_o they_o in_o the_o queen_n time_n nor_o abstain_v from_o set_v up_o of_o new_a both_o in_o she_o and_o king_n james_z his_o time_n and_o as_o the_o body_n of_o this_o statute_n be_v utter_o mistake_v

do_v contain_v a_o godly_a and_o a_o wholesome_a doctrine_n and_o necessary_a for_o those_o time_n godly_a and_o wholesome_a for_o all_o time_n but_o necessary_a for_o those_o when_o people_n be_v new_o wean_v from_o the_o worship_n of_o image_n afterward_o neither_o the_o danger_n nor_o the_o scandal_n alike_o mr._n brown_a in_o his_o reply_n say_v that_o since_o the_o doctrine_n contain_v in_o the_o homily_n be_v wholesome_a and_o good_a it_o must_v needs_o be_v necessary_a also_o for_o all_o time_n but_o this_o worthy_a gentleman_n be_v herein_o much_o mistake_v strong_a meat_n as_o

they_o say_v all_o be_v antichristian_a here_o be_v their_o error_n they_o distinguish_v not_o between_o the_o bene_fw-la esse_fw-la or_o purity_n of_o a_o true_a church_n and_o the_o esse_fw-la or_o

how_o far_o these_o three_o no_o true_a church_n no_o true_a ministry_n no_o true_a worship_n depend_v one_o upon_o another_o and_o in_o what_o case_n it_o may_v in_o some_o exigent_n be_v otherways_o

that_o shall_v avow_v the_o contrary_a must_v needs_o differ_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o fundamental_o for_o these_o contradiction_n a_o true_a church_n and_o no_o true_a church_n a_o

without_o far_a proof_n to_o deny_v both_o the_o defect_n and_o corruption_n both_o the_o many_o and_o the_o gross_a as_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o church_n of_o england_n can_v make_v good_a

his_o lordship_n confess_v they_o differ_v from_o we_o in_o these_o three_o thing_n which_o if_o not_o several_a yet_o altogether_o as_o they_o depend_v one_o upon_o another_o be_v save_v and_o

brownist_n differ_v with_o we_o in_o fundamental_o which_o be_v that_o which_o he_o deny_v if_o therefore_o my_o lord_n will_v say_v he_o know_v not_o this_o to_o be_v the_o brownist_n error_n why_o

himself_o yes_o sure_a for_o he_o add_v i_o hold_v no_o such_o opinion_n but_o do_v believe_v to_o the_o contrary_a that_o there_o be_v in_o england_n many_o true_a church_n and_o a_o true_a
