in_o state_v this_o matter_n i_o must_v go_v a_o middle_a way_n neither_o absolute_o to_o condemn_v nor_o absolute_o to_o justify_v they_o for_o 1._o as_o believe_v the_o divine_a right_n of_o

of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o to_o leave_v such_o a_o church_n to_o stand_v by_o herself_o here_o now_o be_v a_o form_a schism_n between_o these_o church_n and_o the_o question_n be_v who_o be_v the_o schismatic_a the_o excommunicate_v or_o the_o excommunicate_v church_n and_o the_o answer_n be_v very_o plain_a the_o excommunicate_a church_n be_v the_o schismatic_a because_o she_o have_v depart_v from_o catholic_n communion_n by_o impose_v unlawful_a term_n of_o communion_n so_o that_o excommunication_n can_v never_o be_v schismatical_a but_o when_o the_o term_n of_o communion_n be_v a_o schism_n from_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o therefore_o the_o whole_a of_o the_o dispute_n come_v to_o this_o whether_o the_o enjoin_v the_o observance_n of_o some_o indifferent_a and_o uncommand_v ceremony_n be_v a_o schism_n from_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o when_o mr._n job_n can_v prove_v this_o i_o will_v ready_o grant_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v schismatical_a whether_o she_o excommunicate_v dissenter_n or_o not_o but_o this_o will_v be_v a_o hard_a matter_n for_o he_o to_o do_v when_o the_o catholic_n church_n have_v always_o assert_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n in_o these_o matter_n and_o have_v always_o practise_v a_o great_a many_o uncommand_v ceremony_n in_o all_o age_n but_o this_o i_o have_v discourse_v sufficient_o above_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o mr._n job_n fail_v in_o his_o new_a attempt_n to_o prove_v the_o church_n of_o england_n the_o schismatic_a from_o my_o own_o principle_n and_o concession_n let_v we_o now_o consider_v how_o he_o justify_v his_o old_a argument_n to_o prove_v the_o church_n the_o divider_n and_o certain_o never_o any_o man_n be_v more_o hard_o put_v to_o it_o to_o make_v some_o little_a insignificant_a appearance_n of_o a_o answer_n than_o he_o be_v and_o yet_o he_o put_v a_o very_a good_a face_n on_o it_o and_o with_o a_o brave_a confidence_n huff_v it_o off_o as_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o say_v that_o deserve_v a_o answer_n and_o i_o confess_v it_o abundant_o satisfy_v i_o what_o a_o vain_a attempt_n it_o be_v to_o convince_v man_n who_o be_v resolve_v not_o to_o be_v convince_v if_o mr._n job_n or_o any_o other_o for_o he_o will_v give_v a_o fair_a and_o particular_a answer_n to_o those_o few_o page_n in_o the_o defence_n from_o p._n 22._o to_o p._n 53._o i_o promise_v they_o to_o be_v their_o convert_n and_o a_o zealous_a opposer_n of_o all_o indifferent_a ceremony_n in_o religion_n but_o because_o mr._n job_n will_v have_v the_o world_n believe_v that_o he_o have_v do_v this_o already_o i_o shall_v desire_v my_o reader_n to_o look_v over_o those_o few_o page_n in_o the_o defence_n and_o compare_v they_o with_o his_o reply_n and_o if_o this_o can_v be_v obtain_v i_o will_v venture_v to_o leave_v it_o just_a as_o it_o be_v without_o any_o further_a remark_n but_o lest_o he_o shall_v boast_v that_o i_o decline_v the_o dispute_n i_o shall_v brief_o consider_v what_o despicable_a art_n he_o use_v to_o impose_v upon_o his_o reader_n mr._n lob_v undertake_v to_o prove_v the_o church_n not_o the_o dissenter_n to_o be_v the_o divider_n by_o this_o argument_n the_o church_n without_o sin_n can_v part_v with_o their_o indifferent_a ceremony_n but_o dissenter_n without_o sin_n can_v comply_v with_o they_o what_o then_o must_v be_v do_v for_o
