to_o blind_v they_o and_o then_o he_o make_v they_o to_o say_v our_o power_n be_v the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n and_o such_o be_v the_o power_n and_o law_n of_o these_o tryer_n and_o such_o be_v their_o cruel_a usage_n of_o that_o power_n as_o be_v too_o sad_o testify_v by_o the_o great_a suffering_n of_o the_o conformable_a clergy_n many_o who_o great_a poverty_n and_o other_o suffering_n be_v such_o and_o undergo_v with_o so_o much_o patience_n and_o so_o calm_a a_o sortitude_n for_o many_o have_v wife_n and_o many_o child_n that_o i_o protest_v i_o hear_v a_o very_a considerable_a papist_n say_v in_o those_o time_n that_o if_o their_o clergy_n will_v have_v suffer_v half_o so_o much_o in_o the_o day_n of_o king_n edward_n the_o six_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o protestant_n have_v never_o prevail_v in_o england_n which_o say_v seem_v to_o i_o very_o considerable_a and_o i_o think_v this_o to_o be_v considerable_a also_o that_o those_o tryer_n and_o their_o brethren_n of_o the_o several_a committee_n come_v by_o degree_n to_o distinguish_v themselves_o from_o other_o by_o call_v themselves_o the_o godly_a party_n and_o by_o degree_n come_v to_o such_o a_o

themselves_o and_o their_o party_n but_o i_o will_v urge_v this_o no_o far_o lest_o the_o truth_n i_o write_v seem_v too_o bitter_a but_o i_o return_v to_o what_o may_v seem_v more_o considerable_a and_o probable_o less_o provoke_a i_o do_v observe_v that_o your_o party_n that_o scruple_n many_o small_a thing_n scruple_n not_o at_o the_o great_a sin_n of_o schism_n i_o think_v they_o do_v scarce_o consider_v or_o think_v there_o be_v such_o a_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v the_o more_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o because_o in_o all_o the_o reform_a church_n in_o foreign_a nation_n they_o think_v otherwise_o and_o punish_v it_o and_o they_o think_v the_o doctrine_n and_o discipline_n and_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n in_o our_o church_n to_o be_v most_o apostolical_a and_o most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o many_o of_o they_o wish_v they_o be_v like_a to_o we_o and_o for_o a_o testimony_n of_o this_o i_o refer_v you_o to_o a_o view_n of_o their_o several_a approbation_n of_o it_o as_o they_o be_v collect_v and_o sum_v up_o and_o late_o publish_v by_o dr._n durell_n sometime_o preacher_n of_o the_o resormed_a french_a church_n in_o the_o savoy_n in_o

contempt_n and_o poverty_n of_o the_o conformable_a clergy_n for_o many_o of_o they_o have_v wife_n and_o child_n resolve_v to_o spend_v some_o part_n of_o the_o remain_a part_n of_o his_o life_n in_o
