our_o clergy_n at_o the_o dreadful_a day_n shall_v make_v their_o audit_n when_o the_o judge_n shall_v say_v give_v your_o account_n what_o have_v my_o lamb_n be_v feed_v say_v do_v they_o all_o

we_o be_v forbid_v unless_o we_o will_v yield_v to_o sign_n and_o cross_v their_o brow_n they_o say_v a_o mark_n of_o thou_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n great_a judge_n they_o be_v not_o say_v lord_n here_o they_o be_v but_o lord_n they_o be_v all_o dead_a ah_o cruel_a shepherd_n can_v your_o conscience_n serve_v not_o to_o be_v fool_n and_o yet_o to_o let_v they_o starve_v what_o if_o your_o

dare_v you_o not_o stoop_v to_o play_v the_o fool_n for_o he_o prop._n 16._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v wonderful_a to_o see_v so_o many_o man_n rational_a and_o sober_a to_o hazard_v all_o they_o have_v and_o refuse_v the_o way_n to_o rise_v which_o they_o know_v as_o well_o as_o other_o we_o be_v agree_v that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o first_o time_n that_o man_n have_v sacrifice_v their_o present_a happiness_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o their_o way_n live_v by_o faith_n in_o hope_n of_o better_a time_n it_o be_v as_o hazardous_a to_o oppose_v public_a authority_n 1640._o as_o it_o be_v now_o yet_o man_n venture_v it_o with_o too_o good_a success_n alas_o they_o that_o have_v so_o much_o wisdom_n a_o to_o control_v their_o superior_n may_v have_v so_o much_o

general_a scandal_n to_o the_o people_n we_o be_v agree_v that_o we_o be_v to_o please_v the_o people_n only_o for_o their_o good_a while_o thing_n be_v in_o agitation_n its_o lawful_a for_o private_a man_n to_o offer_v their_o thought_n with_o the_o reason_n thereof_o modesty_n and_o meek_o but_o after_o thing_n be_v once_o establish_v as_o the_o people_n must_v submit_v so_o the_o minister_n shall_v take_v more_o care_n not_o to_o disobey_v a_o public_a governor_n than_o not_o to_o offend_v a_o private_a people_n lest_o while_o we_o fear_v to_o offend_v one_o or_o two_o private_a man_n we_o real_o offend_v a_o hundred_o affront_v the_o magistrate_n and_o despise_v authority_n we_o must_v rather_o offend_v other_o than_o sin_n ourselves_o we_o must_v pay_v depth_z of_o justice_n before_o debt_n of_o charity_n debt_n of_o justice_n in_o obey_v the_o magistrate_n before_o debt_n of_o charity_n in_o please_v our_o brethren_n prop._n 18._o whereas_o some_o say_v that_o they_o can_v submit_v to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v establish_v but_o that_o they_o fear_v the_o imposition_n of_o more_o we_o be_v agree_v that_o we_o shall_v obey_v we_o for_o as_o we_o may_v for_o peace_n and_o quiet_a and_o leave_v it_o to_o god_n what_o may_v be_v further_o impose_v and_o let_v we_o not_o suffer_v our_o obedience_n to_o be_v supersede_v by_o our_o fear_n prop._n 19_o whereas_o it_o be_v common_o discourse_v that_o if_o the_o thiug_n now_o impose_v be_v necessary_a why_o be_v not_o they_o constant_o practise_v if_o not_o why_o be_v they_o now_o so_o rigorous_o impose_v we_o be_v agree_v preface_n that_o when_o for_o decency_n order_n and_o uniformities-sake_n any_o law_n be_v make_v there_o be_v the_o same_o necessity_n of_o obey_v they_o as_o their_z be_v of_o obey_v any_o other_o law_n make_v for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o commonwealth_n that_o such_o necessity_n either_o in_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o arise_v not_o immediate_o from_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n but_o from_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n who_o have_v command_v we_o to_o obey_v the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o his_o sake_n as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o man_n concern_v they_o be_v in_o be_v prop._n 20._o whereas_o it_o offend_v some_o man_n that_o they_o think_v that_o law_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n derogate_v from_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o scripture_n and_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n who_o have_v they_o think_v without_o such_o constitution_n sufficient_o provide_v for_o the_o church_n of_o god_n we_o be_v agree_v that_o in_o action_n of_o common_a life_n 2._o as_o eat_v drink_v etc._n etc._n and_o in_o the_o circumstance_n of_o religious_a action_n we_o be_v leave_v to_o private_a or_o public_a reason_n and_o discretion_n guide_v by_o the_o general_a rule_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v do_v decent_o and_o in_o order_n as_o good_a man_n before_o the_o word_n be_v write_v irenicum_fw-la do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n it_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n that_o appoint_v we_o to_o submit_v to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o our_o superior_n in_o the_o use_n of_o indifferent_a thing_n and_o they_o derogate_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n who_o will_v not_o obey_v they_o that_o be_v to_o set_v in_o order_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v want_v according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n prop._n 21._o whereas_o the_o great_a offence_n be_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n and_o that_o man_n doubt_v of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o some_o thing_n therefore_o they_o can_v use_v they_o conscience_n we_o be_v agree_v that_o ordinary_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o more_o warrant_n for_o what_o we_o do_v than_o this_o only_a that_o there_o be_v not_o to_o our_o knowledge_n any_o law_n either_o of_o nature_n or_o scripture_n against_o they_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v all_o thing_n
