threefold_a respect_n much_o less_o that_o he_o hold_v that_o all_o that_o incorporate_v with_o they_o in_o those_o respect_n do_v therefore_o confederate_a with_o they_o in_o their_o error_n the_o

here_o because_o the_o error_n charge_v or_o the_o charge_v of_o it_o as_o such_o have_v some_o influence_n from_o the_o fore_n mention_v hint_n but_o to_o the_o purpose_n i_o must_v say_v sir_n that_o the_o matter_n of_o subject_n of_o this_o say_a error_n have_v some_o relation_n to_o the_o author_n premise_v for_o a_o diocesan_n constitution_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o present_a

than_o in_o the_o fomer_n in_o all_o the_o word_n you_o say_v be_v the_o author_n premise_v i_o beseech_v you_o sir_n do_v he_o say_v a_o word_n here_o of_o own_v parish-church_n and_o worship_n or_o do_v parish-church_n take_v strict_o in_o our_o ecclesiastical_a sense_n find_v the_o form_n or_o name_n of_o a_o church_n do_v you_o not_o know_v that_o only_o the_o bishop_n be_v the_o pastor_n

more_o it_o be_v this_o but_o i_o further_o distinguish_v between_o the_o many_o parish-church_n and_o the_o diocesan_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o constitute_v of_o such_o diocesan_n churches_n the_o old_a nonconformist_n common_o own_v the_o parish-church_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o make_v up_o of_o such_o but_o not_o the_o diocesan_n this_o they_o open_o profess_v it_o be_v therefore_o a_o mistake_n etc._n etc._n i_o do_v not_o expect_v such_o manner_n of_o dispute_v from_o mr._n b._n you_o distinguish_v contrary_a to_o the_o civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a

the_o doctor_n or_o author_n hold_v that_o error_n which_o you_o can_v find_v the_o sense_n of_o in_o the_o premise_v and_o you_o prove_v it_o by_o such_o argument_n to_o be_v a_o error_n if_o it_o be_v there_o that_o none_o will_v take_v for_o unquestionable_a or_o at_o least_o unquestioned_a verity_n and_o therefore_o this_o five_o error_n may_v be_v wipe_v off_o with_o the_o former_a also_o it_o be_v your_o mistake_n to_o say_v err._n vi_o err._n that_o communion_n by_o the_o liturgy_n be_v the_o symbol_n and_o pledge_n of_o the_o foresay_a incorporation_n into_o the_o church_n of_o

not_o without_o some_o difference_n but_o before_o i_o proceed_v i_o must_v take_v leave_n to_o distinguish_v a_o little_a of_o communion_n thus_o 1._o communion_n by_o the_o liturgy_n be_v either_o very_a rare_a it_o may_v be_v but_o once_o or_o twice_o or_o so_o this_o i_o do_v not_o take_v to_o be_v a_o symbol_n of_o the_o say_a incorporation_n nor_o can_v you_o give_v any_o proof_n that_o it_o be_v the_o author_n meaning_n 2._o or_o it_o may_v be_v consider_v as_o constant_a and_o such_o take_v strict_o i_o know_v none_o or_o very_o few_o that_o practice_n 3._o or_o a_o ordinary_a communion_n such_o as_o be_v more_o frequent_o than_o with_o any_o or_o all_o other_o church_n contradistinct_a from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o this_o practice_n i_o think_v aught_o to_o

the_o ruler_n open_o declare_v that_o they_o take_v multitude_n to_o be_v none_o of_o their_o church_n who_o join_v in_o the_o liturgy_n i_o answer_v what_o ruler_n do_v you_o mean_v civil_a or_o

they_o belong_v to_o therefore_o they_o first_o admonish_v then_o excommunicate_v they_o if_o contumacious_a your_o argument_n therefore_o from_o the_o ruler_n be_v but_o dark_a &_o gratis_o dictum_fw-la and_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o a_o mistake_n you_o tell_v we_o next_o what_o be_v the_o symbol_n and_o it_o be_v subscribe_v declare_v and_o swear_v obedience_n which_o be_v the_o symbol_n these_o be_v all_o your_o own_o word_n and_o not_o one_o add_v a_o symbol_n i_o little_o expect_v from_o so_o learned_a and_o intelligent_a a_o person_n etc._n etc._n the_o symbol_n you_o give_v

this_o be_v the_o symbol_n or_o badge_n of_o a_o member_n incorporate_v into_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o no_o other_o what_o become_v of_o the_o poor_a laity_n you_o have_v not_o forget_v

that_o come_v to_o the_o liturgy-service_n some_o i_o confess_v but_o not_o very_o many_o suppose_v the_o office_n of_o the_o communion_n to_o be_v part_n of_o the_o liturgy_n they_o come_v unto_o and_o i_o shall_v add_v that_o when_o they_o be_v excommunicate_a they_o come_v not_o or_o more_o unwelcome_a till_o they_o be_v declare_v absolve_v and_o i_o believe_v i_o may_v now_o have_v my_o intelligent_a impartial_a reader_n suffrage_n to_o send_v this_o error_n after_o its_o fellow_n next_o task_n be_v to_o consider_v these_o three_o error_n which_o be_v all_o in_o a_o file_n which_o thus_o in_o short_a you_o express_v vii_o err._n you_o mistake_v when_o you_o say_v it_o be_v so_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n viii_o err._n you_o mistake_v again_o when_o you_o say_v it_o be_v

upon_o i_o i_o begin_v to_o bethink_v myself_o if_o you_o or_o i_o be_v not_o mistake_v in_o the_o nature_n

of_o a_o symbol_n as_o we_o have_v almost_o take_v the_o clergy_n for_o the_o only_a church_n even_o now_o i_o shall_v therefore_o spend_v a_o word_n or_o two_o in_o inquire_v what_o it_o may_v import_v i_o find_v that_o it_o mean_v a_o sign_n or_o badge_n to_o know_v one_o by_o from_o another_o such_o as_o the_o colour_n which_o soldier_n wear_v in_o their_o hat_n or_o the_o white_a

because_o it_o be_v a_o composure_n worthy_a of_o such_o author_n or_o the_o number_n of_o its_o article_n be_v just_a twelve_o as_o they_o be_v therefore_o in_o the_o latin_a call_v symbolum_n

from_o another_o man_n now_o sir_n i_o shall_v go_v on_o and_o begin_v where_o i_o end_v at_o the_o 9th_o error_n it_o scil_n communion_n by_o the_o liturgy_n be_v the_o symbol_n of_o the_o incorporation_n aforesaid_a in_o the_o common_a opinion_n of_o all_o and_o if_o you_o take_v the_o all_o not_o for_o all_o man_n heathen_a etc._n etc._n nor_o all_o in_o the_o kingdom_n or_o church_n of_o england_n of_o which_o many_o know_v nothing_o of_o a_o symbol_n at_o all_o but_o of_o christian_n in_o this_o kingdom_n or_o elsewhere_o any_o thing_n acquaint_v with_o the_o matter_n in_o

leave_v it_o to_o the_o reader_n judgement_n but_o if_o any_o differ_v from_o i_o or_o the_o truth_n either_o in_o this_o matter_n i_o shall_v not_o think_v it_o worthy_a to_o be_v score_v up_o in_o capital_a figure_n for_o one_o of_o his_o error_n if_o i_o prove_v that_o the_o foresay_a communion_n be_v the_o symbol_n of_o a_o membership_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o its_o present_a constitution_n both_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o by_o the_o canon_n then_o the_o author_n be_v not_o guilty_a of_o these_o two_o error_n you_o charge_v he_o with_o and_o they_o will_v be_v return_v upon_o your_o self_n as_o two_o of_o your_o own_o mistake_n i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o say_v when_o you_o think_v better_o of_o it_o that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n at_o the_o present_a and_o yet_o not_o a_o member_n of_o it_o in_o its_o present_a constitution_n though_o you_o seem_v to_o say_v so_o for_o then_o a_o man_n must_v be_v
