A31349	Catholicon, the expediency of an explicit stipulation betwixt the parochial ministers and their congregations, or, An essay to prove that the intervention of solemn mutual promises betwixt the parochial ministers and their people (faithfully to discharge their relative duties to one another) would be useful and expedient for these ends to promote in clergy-men regularity of life, and diligence in their ministerial function, to increase in the lay parishioners, Christian knowledge, sincere godliness, with a free and friendly conversation, to give a stop to separation, and reduct dissenters to the communion of the church without using secular compulsion, to secure the peace of the nation, to inlarge trade, and make provision for the poor, and that all may be effected without the least innovation, or alteration of the present legal establishment of the Church of England humbly tendred to the consideration of all English Protestants / by a parochial minister.

ministry_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n few_o of_o which_o be_v equal_a as_o to_o part_n and_o prudence_n for_o the_o management_n of_o such_o a_o work_n as_o this_o be_v answ_n my_o answer_n be_v very_o short_a and_o peremptory_a if_o i_o only_o say_v then_o let_v they_o be_v deprive_v of_o their_o place_n and_o more_o able_a person_n put_v in_o their_o room_n but_o i_o rather_o answer_v that_o notwithstanding_o the_o slanderous_a insinuation_n of_o some_o profane_a drole_n and_o other_o malignant_n i_o be_o confident_a to_o assert_v that_o there_o be_v not_o many_o of_o the_o clergy_n of_o england_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a there_o shall_v be_v any_o who_o be_v not_o able_a from_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o new_a and_o old_a testament_n to_o prove_v unto_o the_o people_n their_o misery_n both_o of_o guilt_n and_o impotency_n in_o their_o lapse_v state_n and_o that_o god_n have_v seal_v a_o new_a covenant_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n wherein_o he_o have_v promise_v through_o the_o propitiation_n of_o that_o blood_n to_o forgive_v and_o blot_v out_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o penitent_a believer_n and_o to_o give_v grace_n and_o power_n to_o resist_v corruption_n on_o those_o that_o be_v sincere_a and_o humble_a and_o smother_v not_o or_o stifle_v their_o conviction_n and_o to_o increase_v grace_n from_o christ_n fullness_n to_o the_o sincere_a and_o diligent_a and_o to_o secure_v by_o his_o grace_n the_o humble_a and_o the_o watchful_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o fall_v away_o and_o that_o final_o he_o will_v give_v to_o they_o who_o by_o patient_a continuance_n in_o well_o do_v seek_v for_o honour_n and_o glory_n and_o immortality_n eternal_a life_n i_o doubt_v not_o also_o but_o that_o they_o be_v able_a from_o the_o scripture_n to_o prove_v the_o contrary_a threaten_n namely_o that_o they_o who_o resist_v god_n spirit_n in_o its_o motion_n and_o conviction_n sin_v against_o their_o light_n be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v give_v over_o to_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n and_o to_o be_v estrange_v whole_o from_o the_o life_n of_o god_n through_o a_o blind_a mind_n and_o harden_a heart_n and_o that_o the_o impenitent_a and_o unbeliever_n continue_v such_o shall_v perish_v in_o their_o sin_n and_o that_o he_o who_o use_v not_o his_o talent_n be_v like_a to_o lose_v they_o and_o that_o he_o who_o trust_v to_o a_o old_a age_n repentance_n or_o a_o deathbed_n change_n be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v cut_v off_o in_o his_o sin_n for_o combr_v the_o ground_n and_o that_o there_o be_v unsupportable_a and_o everlasting_a indignation_n and_o wrath_n tribulation_n and_o anguish_n certain_o to_o come_v on_o all_o those_o who_o obey_v not_o the_o truth_n but_o obey_v unrighteousness_n and_o die_v in_o a_o state_n of_o impenitency_n and_o unbelief_n i_o do_v not_o question_v also_o but_o that_o most_o of_o the_o english_a clergy_n be_v furnish_v with_o ability_n to_o prove_v the_o equity_n beauty_n and_o real_a pleasure_n and_o benefit_n of_o all_o the_o holy_a precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o obedience_n to_o they_o not_o only_o from_o the_o direct_a testimony_n and_o assertion_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o also_o by_o rational_a appeal_n to_o the_o light_n and_o experience_n of_o those_o of_o their_o auditor_n who_o have_v not_o lose_v that_o dignoscitive_a power_n of_o their_o soul_n whereby_o their_o spiritual_a sense_n discern_v betwixt_o good_a and_o evil_n which_o power_n whoever_o have_v lose_v be_v not_o far_o from_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o damn_a spirit_n for_o he_o also_o be_v reserve_v in_o the_o chain_n of_o darkness_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a day_n if_o god_n do_v not_o in_o a_o miracle_n of_o mercy_n break_v through_o that_o darkness_n wherein_o the_o resolve_a sinner_n have_v shut_v up_o himself_o such_o duty_n be_v these_o to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o to_o delight_v ourselves_o in_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o glory_n by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o to_o forgive_v injury_n to_o compassionate_a and_o help_v they_o who_o be_v miserable_a either_o by_o reason_n of_o sin_n or_o outward_a affliction_n to_o delight_v in_o those_o who_o be_v holy_a upon_o earth_n and_o to_o mortify_v and_o crucify_v worldly_a and_o carnal_a lust_n and_o cheerful_o to_o bear_v the_o cross_n when_o we_o suffer_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n i_o doubt_v not_o also_o but_o they_o can_v from_o scripture_n and_o from_o the_o like_o rational_a application_n and_o appeal_n prove_v the_o real_a danger_n unseemliness_n and_o unprofitableness_n of_o every_o sin_n with_o the_o real_a damage_n that_o sinner_n suffer_v by_o sin_n especial_o in_o their_o soul_n be_v thereby_o estrange_v from_o the_o life_n of_o god_n and_o more_o indispose_v than_o before_o the_o perpetration_n of_o it_o to_o the_o reverence_n love_n and_o delight_n and_o confidence_n in_o god_n which_o be_v the_o life_n and_o happiness_n of_o all_o rational_a spirit_n i_o doubt_v not_o i_o say_v but_o most_o minister_n can_v prove_v this_o also_o to_o the_o conviction_n of_o they_o who_o will_v ponder_v and_o consider_v the_o sad_a influence_n of_o their_o own_o sin_n and_o have_v not_o sin_v away_o the_o ability_n of_o taste_v the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v i_o do_v not_o know_v that_o i_o have_v set_v down_o either_o in_o the_o promise_n precept_n or_o threaten_n any_o but_o what_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v know_v by_o all_o who_o live_v under_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n even_o by_o layman_n and_o if_o a_o parochial_a minister_n have_v a_o competent_a knowledge_n of_o these_o truth_n and_o can_v make_v they_o out_o to_o the_o conviction_n and_o instruction_n of_o honest_a plain_a man_n who_o desire_v to_o know_v what_o they_o must_v do_v to_o be_v save_v and_o if_o withal_o the_o teacher_n himself_o be_v of_o a_o holy_a humble_a and_o

discourse_n to_o the_o please_a of_o their_o gusto_n who_o go_v to_o the_o theatre_n with_o great_a devotion_n than_o they_o do_v to_o the_o church_n and_o prefer_v a_o modern_a and_o modish_a play_n stuff_v with_o that_o they_o call_v wit_n namely_o interlarding_n of_o profaneness_n and_o scurrility_n far_o before_o a_o serious_a and_o seasonable_a but_o plane_n sermon_n object_n if_o it_o be_v object_v further_o that_o every_o minister_n that_o be_v able_a to_o preach_v and_o instruct_v plain_a man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o manage_v the_o guidance_n of_o a_o parochial_a congregation_n wherein_o may_v be_v person_n of_o great_a learning_n and_o part_n and_o quality_n the_o nobility_n gentry_n lawyer_n and_o physician_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o can_v any_o imagine_v that_o these_o
