problematical_a and_o say_v they_o be_v divide_v upon_o it_o among_o themselves_o 40._o i_o think_v not_o myself_o at_o present_a concern_v to_o show_v the_o absurdity_n of_o this_o principle_n as_o how_o if_o this_o be_v true_a the_o same_o thing_n must_v be_v lawful_a and_o unlawful_a according_a as_o they_o be_v require_v or_o forbid_v by_o our_o superior_n etc._n etc._n but_o shall_v only_o consider_v what_o he_o offer_v on_o its_o behalf_n 1._o he_o say_v they_o may_v not_o in_o this_o case_n obey_v without_o sin_n because_o nature_n teach_v we_o not_o to_o part_v with_o all_o our_o natural_a liberty_n 2._o because_o we_o have_v a_o command_n to_o stand_v fast_o in_o the_o liberty_n etc._n etc._n as_o to_o the_o former_a i_o only_o say_v and_o that_o be_v enough_o that_o nature_n teach_v we_o and_o do_v oblige_v we_o to_o part_v with_o some_o of_o our_o liberty_n in_o community_n and_o they_o be_v far_o from_o be_v require_v to_o part_n with_o all_o in_o we_o and_o so_o if_o his_o argument_n have_v any_o thing_n in_o it_o it_o have_v nothing_o in_o it_o as_o to_o our_o case_n for_o the_o second_o 46._o i_o leave_v he_o to_o what_o be_v say_v by_o way_n of_o prevention_n in_o the_o tract_n he_o oppose_v and_o which_o he_o shall_v have_v answer_v before_o he_o have_v make_v use_n of_o this_o as_o a_o argument_n all_o that_o he_o have_v except_v against_o upon_o that_o subject_n be_v the_o notion_n i_o lay_v down_o of_o christian_a liberty_n which_o i_o say_v be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o liberty_n which_o mankind_n have_v before_o it_o be_v restrain_v by_o particular_a institution_n and_o he_o give_v this_o reason_n against_o it_o 40._o for_o in_o that_o viz._n natural_a liberty_n we_o must_v not_o stand_v fast_o because_o divine_a institution_n have_v restrain_v we_o in_o it_o etc._n etc._n neither_o have_v christ_n restore_v we_o to_o any_o such_o liberty_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o shall_v consider_v what_o natural_a liberty_n be_v and_o then_o what_o liberty_n it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v treat_v of_o as_o to_o the_o former_a it_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o free_a use_n or_o disuse_n of_o thing_n indifferent_a whether_o out_o of_o or_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n as_o to_o the_o latter_a it_o be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o freedom_n from_o the_o jewish_a yoke_n of_o bondage_n and_o that_o law_n that_o gendr_v to_o it_o as_o the_o whole_a current_n of_o the_o apostle_n discourse_n do_v show_v and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v with_o respect_n to_o no_o other_o condition_n than_o that_o which_o mankind_n will_v have_v be_v have_v there_o be_v no_o such_o particular_a institution_n and_o be_v in_o before_o that_o institution_n it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o injoin_v of_o it_o by_o divine_a institution_n so_o as_o it_o become_v necessary_a to_o they_o 18._o that_o make_v it_o a_o yoke_n and_o a_o yoke_n intolerable_a and_o it_o be_v a_o freedom_n from_o that_o law_n that_o constitute_v the_o liberty_n which_o the_o apostle_n treat_v of_o in_o that_o epistle_n and_o if_o it_o be_v also_o to_o be_v take_v as_o our_o author_n will_v have_v it_o for_o a_o freedom_n in_o matter_n of_o worship_n from_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o be_v of_o divine_a institution_n that_o be_v a_o secondary_a sense_n and_o which_o may_v be_v take_v from_o some_o parity_n of_o reason_n betwixt_o case_n and_o case_n but_o be_v not_o the_o apostle_n nor_o the_o primary_n sense_n of_o it_o but_o take_v it_o how_o we_o will_v in_o this_o or_o the_o other_o 47._o i_o there_o show_v that_o the_o apostle_n exhortation_n be_v of_o no_o use_n to_o they_o that_o plead_v it_o against_o submission_n to_o authority_n in_o indifferent_a thing_n when_o impose_v in_o or_o about_o divine_a worship_n i_o be_o now_o come_v to_o the_o last_o general_a head_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a tract_n 5._o which_o contain_v a_o short_a account_n of_o the_o thing_n require_v in_o our_o church_n as_o they_o be_v either_o duty_n or_o indifferent_a and_o for_o a_o enforcement_n of_o that_o and_o conclusion_n of_o the_o whole_a i_o shall_v brief_o show_v how_o far_o this_o reverend_a author_n consent_v to_o or_o by_o his_o concession_n must_v be_v bind_v to_o acknowledge_v it_o indeed_o he_o sometime_o do_v tell_v we_o 38._o that_o nine_o part_n of_o ten_o of_o all_o dissenter_n say_v they_o can_v comply_v with_o thing_n require_v in_o the_o english_a liturgy_n because_o they_o believe_v the_o thing_n sinful_a and_o unlawful_a and_o elsewhere_o two_o hardly_o of_o a_o hundred_o think_v they_o indifferent_a but_o whether_o our_o author_n be_v of_o that_o number_n or_o at_o least_o have_v reason_n so_o to_o be_v i_o shall_v leave_v to_o his_o own_o conscience_n as_o to_o himself_o and_o to_o his_o concession_n as_o to_o other_o in_o which_o i_o shall_v observe_v the_o method_n take_v in_o the_o aforesaid_a tract_n where_o i_o say_v all_o thing_n object_v against_o may_v be_v refer_v to_o posture_n form_n and_o time_n and_o show_v these_o to_o be_v natural_a or_o moral_a circumstance_n of_o action_n and_o inseparable_a from_o it_o now_o in_o general_n he_o grant_v what_o be_v such_o may_v be_v lawful_o use_v 14._o and_o if_o we_o come_v to_o particular_n he_o do_v at_o last_o yield_v it_o as_o for_o posture_n what_o more_o scruple_v and_o oppose_v than_o kneel_v at_o the_o sacrament_n 22._o yet_o of_o this_o he_o say_v there_o be_v no_o command_n in_o it_o 12._o and_o it_o be_v indifferent_a that_o in_o all_o probability_n our_o saviour_n administer_v it_o kneel_v and_o sit_v backward_o upon_o his_o leg_n 36._o that_o no_o dissenter_n refuse_v it_o because_o it_o be_v not_o decent_a but_o because_o it_o be_v a_o posture_n of_o adoration_n that_o our_o church_n do_v not_o intend_v it_o as_o a_o homage_n to_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n there_o real_o present_a but_o declare_v that_o to_o do_v it_o as_o to_o the_o bread_n 13._o be_v a_o idolatry_n to_o be_v abhor_v and_o in_o conclusion_n tell_v we_o that_o those_o that_o hesitate_n in_o that_o point_n fear_v a_o posture_n of_o adoration_n use_v by_o idolatrous_a papist_n which_o be_v a_o consideration_n of_o no_o moment_n as_o have_v be_v already_o show_v as_o to_o form_n of_o prayer_n he_o say_v god_n have_v leave_v we_o at_o liberty_n what_o word_n to_o use_v 30._o and_o further_o that_o for_o conceive_a prayer_n 22._o we_o know_v no_o body_n say_v no_o other_o must_v be_v use_v in_o god_n worship_n and_o if_o so_o than_o form_n may_v be_v lawful_o use_v in_o it_o 8._o but_o suppose_v any_o scruple_n the_o use_n of_o they_o he_o say_v however_o we_o know_v no_o reason_n but_o people_n may_v hear_v they_o 22._o if_o any_o scruple_n the_o use_n of_o they_o he_o may_v yet_o have_v communion_n with_o the_o church_n we_o hope_v though_o he_o do_v not_o act_n in_o it_o as_o a_o minister_n as_o to_o time_n 29._o he_o say_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n direct_v and_o for_o festival_n such_o as_o purim_n among_o the_o jew_n he_o say_v 26._o it_o be_v general_o command_v under_o the_o precept_n of_o give_v thanks_o for_o public_a mercy_n last_o be_v the_o thing_n require_v unlawful_a because_o impose_v he_o answer_v some_o of_o we_o include_v sure_o himself_o be_v not_o of_o that_o mind_n 39_o nay_o he_o affirm_v that_o the_o most_o sober_a dissenter_n will_v agree_v in_o these_o thing_n 7._o that_o be_v natural_a circumstance_n to_o obey_v the_o command_n of_o superior_n provide_v it_o be_v not_o such_o as_o by_o circumstance_n be_v make_v sinful_a but_o if_o imposition_n will_v make_v they_o sinful_a such_o a_o command_n must_v not_o have_v be_v obey_v so_o that_o in_o the_o conclusion_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o our_o reverend_a brother_n and_o the_o dissenter_n he_o defend_v and_o that_o in_o all_o thing_n as_o he_o say_v agree_v to_o the_o doctrine_n profess_v in_o the_o article_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n ●_o shall_v dissent_v from_o the_o liturgy_n and_o ceremony_n of_o it_o as_o far_o as_o lay-communion_n be_v concern_v in_o they_o nor_o why_o he_o shall_v tell_v we_o so_o much_o of_o goal_n 44._o and_o session_n and_o judicature_n and_o of_o the_o suffering_n they_o endure_v when_o if_o there_o thing_n be_v true_a it_o be_v for_o not_o do_v what_o they_o lawful_o can_v it_o be_v no_o wonder_n when_o such_o withhold_v communion_n from_o the_o church_n and_o set_v up_o other_o church_n against_o it_o that_o some_o call_v they_o as_o he_o complain_v perverse_a and_o contamacious_a person_n ibid._n and_o other_o call_v they_o damnable_a schismatic_n and_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o say_v that_o such_o a_o separation_n from_o that_o church_n 1._o be_v a_o separation_n from_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v likely_a he_o will_v meet_v with_o such_o
