whether_o if_o they_o have_v exert_v this_o power_n without_o divine_a direction_n they_o will_v have_v resent_v every_o thing_n imperious_a and_o haughty_a man_n have_v in_o after_o age_n call_v contempt_n with_o the_o same_o passion_n they_o have_v do_v it_o be_v plain_a they_o think_v it_o if_o not_o more_o christian_a yet_o more_o prudent_a to_o forbear_v lay_v snare_n in_o people_n way_n and_o choose_v rather_o to_o suspend_v the_o exercise_n of_o their_o authority_n about_o these_o thing_n than_o to_o make_v any_o unseasonable_a use_n of_o it_o and_o than_o vindicate_v it_o by_o so_o severe_a a_o course_n as_o their_o deliver_v man_n unto_o satan_n do_v amount_v to_o 4_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v very_o difficult_a for_o any_o man_n to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o for_o some_o hundred_o of_o year_n after_o the_o apostle_n the_o christian_a orthodox_n church_n do_v ever_o require_v any_o thing_n more_o than_o common_a christianity_n as_o a_o term_n of_o church-communion_n or_o that_o any_o ceremony_n be_v for_o so_o long_a a_o time_n impose_v on_o the_o church_n this_o be_v not_o design_v in_o the_o least_o to_o reflect_v on_o the_o church_n of_o england_n or_o to_o expect_v against_o any_o of_o her_o order_n it_o be_v design_v only_o to_o show_v 1._o that_o neither_o christianity_n in_o the_o general_n nor_o the_o be_v of_o a_o particular_a church_n be_v concern_v in_o our_o dispute_n and_o that_o therefore_o consider_v our_o present_a circumstance_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o discover_v such_o immoderate_a heat_n in_o this_o business_n as_o some_o man_n do_v manifest_a and_o expect_v that_o all_o who_o pretend_v to_o the_o church_n shall_v approve_v 2._o that_o some_o of_o those_o who_o do_v dissent_v from_o we_o untruth_n may_v have_v more_o plausible_a pretence_n for_o what_o they_o do_v than_o some_o who_o be_v inconsiderate_o furious_a against_o they_o do_v imagine_v but_o allow_v that_o there_o may_v sometime_o happen_v such_o case_n that_o the_o church_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o proceed_v to_o great_a severity_n with_o some_o offender_n we_o can_v reasonable_o conclude_v hence_o that_o every_o difference_n about_o outward_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n especial_o if_o manage_v with_o meekness_n and_o other_o christian_a virtue_n by_o those_o who_o do_v dissent_v must_v be_v treat_v and_o prosecute_v in_o that_o manner_n this_o will_v be_v to_o make_v the_o church_n transcribe_v that_o quack_n folly_n who_o perceive_v a_o skilful_a chirurgeon_n have_v save_v a_o man_n life_n and_o do_v he_o great_a service_n by_o cut_v off_o his_o leg_n when_o desperate_o gangren_v do_v advise_v one_o who_o be_v trouble_v with_o the_o headache_n to_o have_v his_o head_n cut_v off_o the_o same_o medicine_n will_v not_o cure_v every_o disease_n nor_o may_v the_o same_o remedy_n be_v apply_v to_o every_o part_n moderation_n in_o these_o lesser_a thing_n be_v certain_o very_o desirable_a it_o may_v do_v the_o church_n great_a service_n and_o whilst_o we_o be_v not_o oblige_v by_o any_o law_n to_o prosecute_v and_o ruin_v those_o who_o be_v not_o of_o our_o judgement_n in_o these_o thing_n either_o unnecessary_o to_o turn_v informer_n ourselves_o or_o to_o wheedle_n or_o threaten_v other_o into_o such_o course_n be_v very_o unbecoming_a any_o who_o profess_v they_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o befriend_v the_o protestant_a religion_n in_o this_o day_n the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v undoubted_o a_o very_a strong_a and_o will_v be_v if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o these_o violent_a and_o headstrong_a bigot_n who_o endanger_v the_o ruine_v the_o protestant_a religion_n under_o a_o glorious_a name_n and_o pretence_n a_o impregnable_a bulwark_n against_o popery_n but_o she_o be_v not_o so_o by_o her_o enjoin_v any_o ceremony_n in_o which_o point_n she_o and_o other_o protestant_n do_v difler_n but_o in_o her_o close_a and_o immovable_a adhere_n to_o those_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n which_o be_v common_a to_o we_o with_o the_o generality_n of_o our_o sober_a and_o only_a scrupulous_a dissenter_n and_o which_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o and_o destructive_a of_o popery_n i_o dare_v affirm_v that_o if_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n now_o in_o use_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n shall_v be_v alter_v some_o change_v and_o some_o lay_v whole_o aside_o by_o the_o same_o authority_n which_o

be_v no_o man_n will_v deny_v this_o unless_o he_o be_v either_o a_o real_a papist_n or_o a_o ignorant_a superstitious_a fool._n nor_o be_v this_o all_o that_o may_v be_v allege_v why_o we_o shall_v

of_o the_o fruit_n and_o effect_v the_o continue_a impose_v of_o these_o thing_n have_v have_v on_o many_o shall_v both_o abate_v our_o vehemence_n against_o dissenter_n and_o make_v we_o general_o more_o inclinable_a to_o desire_v that_o some_o abatement_n may_v be_v legal_o make_v in_o these_o thing_n for_o the_o satisfy_n of_o those_o who_o still_o remain_v unsatisfied_a there_o be_v two_o dreadful_a event_n which_o have_v follow_v these_o imposition_n 1._o many_o worthy_a pious_a and_o otherwise_o every_o way_n qualify_v person_n have_v be_v hinder_v from_o either_o enter_n or_o

of_o ignorant_a and_o vulgar_a people_n a_o belief_n that_o they_o be_v indispensable_o necessary_a and_o undoubted_a part_n of_o those_o ordinance_n to_o which_o they_o be_v annex_v i_o have_v know_v

because_o it_o be_v require_v by_o authority_n but_o because_o as_o they_o have_v profess_o and_o open_o own_v they_o think_v the_o baptism_n not_o good_a and_o valid_a without_o it_o nay_o i_o have_v know_v when_o many_o argument_n will_v not_o satisfy_v people_n that_o private_a baptism_n without_o the_o cross_n and_o i_o know_v not_o how_o any_o man_n can_v justify_v the_o use_n of_o the_o

appoint_v they_o yet_o when_o these_o fruit_n do_v apparent_o spring_v from_o thence_o whether_o natural_o or_o only_o by_o accident_n they_o may_v be_v enough_o to_o make_v those_o who_o have_v the_o great_a zeal_n for_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n desire_v that_o no_o more_o stress_n may_v be_v lay_v on_o these_o thing_n than_o their_o own_o nature_n will_v bear_v for_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o caution_n the_o church_n have_v use_v to_o prevent_v these_o ill_a effect_n by_o declare_v she_o own_o design_n and_o the_o true_a use_n and_o importance_n of_o these_o thing_n that_o have_v
