a_o regard_n for_o the_o everlasting_a salvation_n of_o our_o own_o soul_n that_o we_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v choice_n of_o such_o a_o minister_n as_o may_v be_v able_a to_o divide_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n aright_o and_o give_v to_o every_o one_o their_o portion_n in_o due_a season_n reply_n i_o have_v observe_v but_o very_o little_a coherence_n in_o any_o part_n of_o this_o paper_n but_o i_o see_v none_o at_o all_o in_o this_o clause_n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o very_a design_n of_o choose_v another_o minister_n be_v a_o proof_n beyond_o denial_n of_o your_o desire_n of_o separation_n your_o reformation_n be_v the_o drift_n of_o my_o paper_n and_o it_o be_v nonsense_n for_o you_o to_o retort_v it_o upon_o we_o till_o you_o have_v give_v some_o better_a proof_n that_o there_o be_v real_o such_o fault_n in_o the_o constitution_n of_o our_o church_n as_o aught_o to_o be_v amend_v but_o if_o the_o reformation_n you_o desire_v be_v as_o to_o matter_n which_o you_o either_o have_v prove_v or_o can_v prove_v to_o be_v real_o evil_a i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o next_o convocation_n that_o sit_v will_v ready_o gratify_v you_o herein_o nay_o i_o very_o think_v that_o they_o will_v take_v away_o some_o of_o those_o ceremony_n you_o scruple_n or_o however_o leave_v the_o use_n of_o they_o to_o every_o one_o liberty_n as_o the_o canon_n of_o 40_o have_v do_v bow_v towards_o the_o east_n if_o you_o can_v secure_v they_o against_o the_o evil_a consequence_n of_o unnecessary_a alteration_n or_o give_v they_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o dissenter_n of_o this_o kingdom_n will_v then_o unite_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n or_o that_o the_o major_a part_n of_o you_o who_o be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o other_o sect_n by_o the_o name_n of_o presbyterian_o will_v thereupon_o come_v over_o thereto_o or_o indeed_o that_o such_o a_o method_n of_o proceed_v will_v not_o drive_v more_o out_o of_o the_o church_n than_o it_o will_v bring_v in_o but_o if_o the_o reformation_n you_o talk_v of_o be_v such_o as_o will_v maim_v and_o wound_n at_o least_o if_o not_o vnchurch_n we_o or_o however_o lay_v we_o open_v to_o all_o manner_n of_o confusion_n it_o be_v unreasonable_a you_o shall_v be_v comply_v with_o and_o you_o do_v thereby_o plain_o show_v your_o desire_n to_o be_v either_o after_o ascendency_n over_o we_o or_o separation_n from_o we_o of_o which_o another_o evidence_n be_v that_o you_o use_v no_o endeavour_n to_o get_v yourselves_o satisfy_v of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o join_v in_o our_o worship_n you_o only_o read_v book_n and_o hear_v person_n of_o one_o side_n you_o be_v full_a of_o prejudice_n against_o we_o and_o be_v glad_a of_o any_o pretence_n to_o separate_v from_o we_o you_o cry_v out_o against_o the_o common-prayer_n but_o pray_v let_v i_o ask_v you_o and_o answer_v it_o to_o your_o conscience_n have_v you_o ever_o serious_o and_o impartial_o read_v and_o examine_v that_o book_n have_v you_o a_o desire_n to_o hold_v communion_n with_o we_o if_o you_o can_v persuade_v yourselves_o that_o you_o may_v lawful_o do_v it_o have_v you_o propose_v your_o scruple_n to_o the_o divine_n of_o our_o church_n or_o have_v you_o read_v what_o they_o have_v write_v in_o order_n to_o your_o satisfaction_n if_o you_o have_v do_v all_o these_o thing_n than_o you_o have_v act_v fair_o but_o then_o let_v i_o ask_v again_o have_v you_o meet_v with_o any_o of_o your_o own_o teacher_n that_o be_v able_a to_o give_v a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o their_o argument_n they_o may_v possible_o
