there_o be_v no_o true_a church_n in_o england_n nor_o indeed_o in_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o that_o all_o church_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o doctrine_n worship_n ceremony_n constitution_n and_o order_n or_o some_o of_o these_o be_v idolatrous_a and_o antichristian_a and_o that_o therefore_o no_o man_n that_o mind_v his_o salvation_n ought_v to_o continue_v a_o member_n of_o they_o or_o to_o

government_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o the_o minister_n be_v but_o the_o people_n deputy_n in_o preach_v the_o word_n administer_a the_o sacrament_n or_o exercise_v of_o discipline_n and_o must_v be_v accountable_a to_o they_o these_o principle_n destructive_a of_o all_o church_n the_o nonconformist_n earnest_o oppose_v especial_o the_o first_o sc_fw-mi separation_n from_o all_o the_o reform_a church_n as_o antichristian_a for_o by_o prevent_v of_o this_o they_o will_v prevent_v the_o other_o mischief_n but_o in_o maintain_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v true_a church_n

their_o book_n and_o what_o be_v forequote_v of_o their_o opinion_n that_o they_o mean_v it_o of_o the_o several_a parish_n or_o congregation_n in_o england_n that_o they_o be_v true_a church_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o constitution_n and_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o doctrine_n and_o worship_n and_o that_o there_o be_v in_o they_o no_o such_o intolerable_a corruption_n as_o that_o all_o christian_n shall_v fly_v from_o they_o nevertheless_o when_o the_o minister_n in_o particular_a parish_n be_v more_o than_o ordinary_a defective_a and_o unprofitable_a they_o allow_v and_o

all_o this_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o present_a nonconformist_n and_o i_o do_v very_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o more_o brownist_n among_o the_o present_a nonconformist_n minister_n than_o

but_o can_v a_o man_n be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o national_a church_n of_o england_n and_o hold_v communion_n with_o it_o without_o be_v a_o member_n of_o a_o particular_a parish_n and_o if_o they_o

in_o private_a meeting_n where_o the_o same_o doctrine_n and_o worship_n be_v use_v only_o some_o circumstance_n and_o ceremony_n omit_v but_o no_o contrary_a or_o new_a one_o use_v in_o their_o

preach_v in_o private_a though_o they_o be_v drive_v out_o of_o the_o church_n 1._o to_o object_v that_o they_o acknowledge_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v true_a in_o doctrine_n sacrament_n

account_v their_o minister_n and_o sacrament_n null_a or_o to_o disow_v the_o people_n to_o be_v their_o brethren_n as_o some_o of_o the_o brownist_n be_v say_v to_o do_v 2._o the_o dr_n have_v give_v much_o occasion_n in_o his_o write_n to_o many_o to_o think_v that_o he_o grant_v as_o much_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o he_o here_o say_v the_o nonconformist_n do_v of_o the_o church_n of_o

add_v to_o they_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a yea_o necessary_a to_o break_v off_o from_o she_o and_o to_o oppose_v she_o 3._o the_o question_n betwixt_o the_o dr._n and_o the_o nonconformist_n be_v whether_o the_o nonconforming_a minister_n and_o people_n be_v bind_v silent_o to_o bear_v the_o usurpation_n of_o the_o bishop_n over_o they_o in_o impose_v

the_o nonconformist_n be_v more_o charitable_a and_o fair_a towards_o the_o conformist_n who_o be_v the_o great_a schism_n maker_n by_o their_o rigorous_a imposition_n of_o thing_n they_o confess_v un-necessary_a than_o the_o conformist_n be_v to_o they_o who_o be_v passive_a in_o the_o breach_n and_o yet_o they_o will_v hold_v no_o communion_n with_o they_o they_o think_v this_o shall_v not_o be_v make_v a_o argument_n against_o themselves_o serm._n p._n 30._o 4._o the_o dr._n have_v cite_v a_o pertinent_a example_n though_o he_o think_v to_o anticipate_v we_o in_o it_o the_o people_n of_o constantinople_n he_o say_v when_o chrysostome_n their_o bishop_n be_v thrust_v out_o and_o banish_v for_o do_v his_o duty_n and_o arsaeius_n impose_v on_o they_o in_o his_o room_n refuse_v to_o

ancient_a communion_n and_o chrysostom_n advize_v they_o to_o it_o and_o when_o the_o bishop_n will_v acknowledge_v as_o atticus_n here_o do_v that_o the_o nonconformist_n be_v wrong_v and_o those_o that_o be_v put_v in_o their_o place_n be_v intruder_n and_o consequent_o take_v off_o the_o yoke_n of_o conformity_n than_o they_o will_v do_v as_o the_o people_n of_o constantinople_n do_v till_o then_o this_o example_n justify_v the_o nonconformist_n 5._o though_o the_o nonconformist_n allow_v parish_n congregation_n and_o the_o parish_n of_o england_n not_o to_o be_v disow_v on_o that_o account_n from_o be_v true_a church_n yet_o the_o dr._n know_v that_o those_o very_a man_n who_o he_o quote_v as_o most_o comply_v with_o he_o do_v deny_v those_o parish_n to_o be_v true_a organical_a church_n who_o minister_n have_v not_o power_n of_o govern_v their_o people_n or_o aught_o for_o their_o doctrine_n and_o life_n to_o be_v expel_v the_o ministry_n 6._o the_o nonconformist_n do_v not_o say_v it_o be_v lawful_a to_o hold_v occasional_a communion_n in_o all_o thing_n with_o the_o parish_n but_o only_o in_o the_o substantial_o of_o worship_n nor_o with_o all_o parish_n but_o with_o those_o only_o where_o they_o may_v join_v with_o some_o edification_n and_o because_o wise_a and_o learned_a man_n can_v distinguish_v the_o good_a from_o the_o evil_a they_o may_v join_v with_o many_o minister_n occasional_o when_o the_o people_n may_v not_o for_o fear_v of_o their_o error_n or_o because_o of_o their_o rail_n and_o reproach_n of_o their_o brethren_n or_o godliness_n by_o which_o this_o people_n will_v either_o be_v infect_v or_o disturb_v so_o that_o they_o can_v receive_v no_o benefit_n 2._o the_o dr._n argue_v if_o occasional_a communion_n be_v lawful_a it_o be_v hard_o to_o understand_v that_o constant_a communion_n shall_v not_o be_v a_o duty_n answ_n i_o allow_v he_o to_o mean_v among_o we_o who_o be_v once_o fellow_n member_n of_o the_o same_o
