if_o we_o may_v believe_v the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n and_o if_o this_o act_n of_o allowance_n have_v destroy_v the_o former_a establishment_n who_o can_v help_v it_o and_o yet_o i_o see_v no_o

necessary_o import_v indeed_o if_o by_o establishment_n he_o mean_v a_o direct_a positive_a command_n to_o worship_n god_n according_a to_o the_o mode_n of_o the_o episcopal_a party_n i_o grant_v it_o can_v well_o consist_v with_o a_o allowance_n to_o worship_n he_o otherwise_o but_o certain_o the_o law_n be_v not_o to_o be_v set_v at_o variance_n with_o itself_o it_o have_v but_o one_o voice_n and_o speak_v distinct_o and_o consistent_o and_o therefore_o if_o former_a law_n have_v say_v we_o command_v you_o all_o to_o worship_n god_n after_o this_o manner_n and_o a_o latter_a law_n say_v we_o allow_v you_o to_o worship_n god_n after_o another_o manner_n it_o be_v plain_a the_o last_o be_v the_o present_a voice_n of_o the_o law_n signify_v that_o it_o be_v not_o its_o design_n to_o tie_v we_o up_o to_o that_o particular_a mode_n and_o that_o former_a command_n which_o he_o account_v the_o establishment_n can_v disannul_v the_o allowance_n which_o come_v after_o but_o if_o they_o can_v consist_v together_o the_o former_a must_v be_v vacate_v by_o the_o latter_a the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v still_o a_o legal_a establishment_n that_o be_v to_o say_v she_o have_v great_a privilege_n large_a revenue_n the_o public_a place_n of_o worship_n and_o those_o she_o have_v by_o law_n but_o as_o mr._n norris_n tell_v we_o all_o that_o toleration_n can_v do_v where_o there_o be_v a_o establishment_n be_v to_o remove_v the_o penalty_n so_o we_o may_v reply_v all_o that_o establishment_n can_v do_v or_o signify_v where_o there_o be_v a_o act_n of_o allowance_n be_v only_o to_o confer_v such_o outward_a privilege_n and_o as_o the_o removal_n of_o the_o penal_a sanction_n do_v not_o always_o abolish_v the_o command_n so_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o praemial_a sanction_n do_v not_o continue_v the_o obligation_n of_o the_o command_n where_o a_o act_n of_o express_a allowance_n have_v take_v it_o away_o 2._o his_o other_o maxim_n that_o the_o take_v away_o of_o the_o sanction_n do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o whole_a obligation_n of_o the_o law_n want_v a_o little_a explanation_n too_o for_o though_o i_o ready_o grant_v it_o will_v not_o in_o all_o case_n have_v that_o effect_n yet_o i_o suppose_v in_o some_o it_o may_v there_o be_v certain_a law_n that_o be_v as_o well_o satisfy_v with_o the_o bear_n of_o the_o penalty_n as_o with_o obey_v the_o precept_n and_o mr._n norris_n confess_v as_o much_o concern_v those_o law_n that_o be_v pure_o penal_a that_o be_v as_o he_o say_v that_o do_v not_o oblige_v absolute_o to_o the_o fact_n but_o only_o conditional_o either_o to_o the_o fact_n or_o to_o the_o penalty_n that_o there_o be_v such_o law_n i_o grant_v only_o in_o this_o i_o differ_v from_o he_o 50._o p._n 50._o whereas_o he_o say_v these_o pure_o penal_a law_n bound_v to_o the_o penalty_n i_o think_v we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o the_o penalty_n by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o law_n but_o only_o by_o the_o honour_n and_o respect_v due_a to_o the_o lawgiver_n that_o be_v a_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o suffer_v the_o penalty_n if_o he_o can_v avoid_v it_o without_o put_v a_o affront_n upon_o the_o office_n of_o the_o magistracy_n for_o by_o our_o law_n as_o well_o as_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o accuse_v himself_o of_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v a_o penalty_n annex_v to_o it_o especial_o since_o the_o repeal_n of_o the_o oath_n ex_fw-la officio_fw-la we_o be_v thus_o far_o agree_v that_o there_o be_v law_n that_o do_v not_o absolute_o bind_v to_o the_o fact_n now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o act_n of_o uniformity_n and_o the_o rest_n as_o far_o as_o they_o relate_v to_o protestant_a dissenter_n be_v not_o some_o of_o those_o law_n that_o he_o call_v pure_o penal_a mr._n norris_n well_o observe_v that_o human_a law_n be_v not_o therefore_o pure_o penal_a because_o human_a and_o no_o question_n but_o he_o be_v so_o far_o right_a human_a law_n may_v be_v so_o just_a and_o

same_o over_o all_o church_n and_o this_o surveyor_n say_v the_o bishop_n succeed_v they_o in_o the_o same_o authority_n only_o the_o exercise_n thereof_o be_v limit_v by_o humane_a agreement_n and_o ask_v the_o vindicator_n whether_o a_o bishop_n be_v not_o as_o true_o a_o bishop_n and_o a_o presbyter_n as_o true_o a_o presbyter_n in_o any_o other_o man_n diocese_n or_o parish_n as_o in_o his_o own_o but_o here_o he_o put_v thing_n together_o that_o shall_v be_v keep_v distinct_a a_o bishop_n in_o the_o receive_v and_o ordinary_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n be_v a_o relative_n term_n and_o always_o connote_v a_o bishopric_n either_o in_o possession_n or_o title_n as_o his_o charge_n and_o cure_n and_o therefore_o though_o he_o be_v bishop_n in_o another_o man_n diocese_n he_o be_v not_o bishop_n of_o that_o diocese_n indeed_o as_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o may_v preach_v and_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n any_o where_o that_o providence_n cast_v he_o and_o give_v he_o a_o opportunity_n of_o so_o do_v and_o if_o this_o be_v all_o the_o episcopal_a power_n they_o pretend_v to_o we_o will_v allow_v it_o to_o be_v as_o universal_a as_o they_o please_v but_o the_o

that_o power_n the_o apostle_n have_v all_o the_o world_n over_o and_o can_v not_o be_v limit_v in_o it_o by_o any_o humane_a agreement_n whatsoever_o by_o this_o notion_n our_o gentleman_n have_v

and_o what_o thank_v his_o diocesan_n will_v give_v he_o for_o such_o a_o doctrine_n i_o can_v tell_v for_o he_o afterward_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n have_v no_o authority_n at_o all_o in_o england_n which_o make_v the_o whole_a power_n of_o our_o bishop_n to_o depend_v upon_o humane_a agreement_n without_o which_o he_o that_o have_v none_o at_o all_o will_v have_v as_o much_o as_o they_o or_o perhaps_o it_o be_v liable_a to_o a_o worse_a consequence_n than_o that_o for_o if_o every_o bishop_n have_v universal_a power_n in_o all_o diocese_n by_o the_o grant_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v only_o restrain_v in_o the_o exercise_n thereof_o by_o humane_a agreement_n then_o may_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n with_o apostolical_a authority_n make_v canon_n for_o all_o england_n and_o excommunicate_v we_o all_o if_o we_o receive_v they_o not_o for_o christ_n give_v he_o universal_a power_n only_o it_o be_v limit_v by_o humane_a agreement_n which_o he_o never_o agree_v to_o and_o if_o he_o have_v that_o can_v not_o render_v his_o act_n unauthoritative_a but_o only_o irregular_a only_o the_o best_a on_o it_o be_v any_o bishop_n in_o england_n may_v make_v

therefore_o i_o beg_v the_o favour_n of_o this_o gentleman_n to_o tell_v i_o what_o agreement_n these_o be_v of_o which_o he_o speak_v where_o and_o when_o make_v and_o by_o who_o be_v they_o only_o

restrain_v the_o exercise_n of_o their_o power_n why_o may_v they_o not_o by_o the_o like_a agreement_n constitute_v one_o to_o be_v head_n over_o they_o all_o i_o wish_v this_o gentleman_n will_v
