be_v in_o my_o power_n most_o willing_o have_v decline_v the_o receive_n of_o these_o article_n not_o that_o i_o do_v esteem_v they_o either_o unlawful_a or_o inconvenient_a for_o i_o be_o so_o far_o

therefore_o let_v no_o man_n deceive_v himself_o these_o thing_n proceed_v from_o his_o majesty_n and_o be_v his_o own_o motion_n not_o any_o other_o i_o hear_v other_o say_v they_o can_v agree_v

the_o ready_a way_n to_o have_v the_o rest_n impose_v be_v to_o offend_v his_o majesty_n by_o our_o resist_n and_o the_o way_n to_o be_v free_v of_o they_o be_v to_o approve_v ourselves_o in_o the_o

former_a time_n and_o tell_v i_o if_o our_o opposition_n do_v ever_o gain_v we_o any_o thing_n if_o experience_n will_v not_o make_v we_o wise_a what_o can_v but_o this_o other_o say_v be_v hard_o to_o be_v do_v because_o our_o preach_n and_o practice_n have_v both_o be_v to_o the_o contrary_a and_o a_o yield_a now_o can_v but_o s●ayne_v our_o credit_n i_o will_v not_o reply_v that_o it_o be_v no_o credit_n to_o be_v constant_a in_o evil_n nor_o any_o discredit_n to_o change_v for_o the_o better_a for_o this_o will_v sound_v harsh_o in_o the_o ear_n of_o many_o only_o i_o shall_v wish_v those_o who_o stand_v so_o much_o for_o their_o credit_n to_o lay_v before_o themselves_o saint_a paul_n example_n who_o become_v all_o to_o all_o that_o he_o may_v save_v some_o he_o have_v preach_v against_o circumcision_n against_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n their_o new_a moon_n and_o other_o rite_n he_o have_v call_v they_o yoke_n burden_n impotent_a and_o beggarly_a rudiment_n and_o reprove_v saint_n peter_n for_o make_v the_o gentile_n conform_v to_o the_o jew_n in_o these_o thing_n yet_o after_o all_o this_o he_o circumcise_v timothy_n and_o practise_v himself_o diverse_a of_o their_o ceremony_n the_o reason_n be_v that_o he_o see_v no_o other_o way_n to_o redeem_v the_o liberty_n of_o his_o ministry_n further_a the_o gospel_n and_o increase_v the_o church_n in_o this_o he_o place_v his_o credit_n and_o so_o he_o do_v speed_n in_o that_o he_o stand_v not_o much_o what_o man_n report_v of_o he_o if_o the_o zeal_n of_o god_n lead_v we_o and_o the_o love_n of_o his_o church_n we_o will_v not_o look_v so_o much_o to_o ourselves_o and_o to_o our_o own_o reputation_n as_o to_o the_o further_a of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o will_v be_v reply_v i_o know_v that_o not_o for_o themselves_o but_o for_o the_o offence_n of_o the_o people_n they_o fear_v to_o admit_v these_o thing_n for_o have_v preach_v against_o holy_a day_n and_o the_o rest_n and_o have_v defend_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o church_n which_o now_o must_v be_v alter_v there_o can_v but_o great_a offence_n ensue_v i_o can_v make_v no_o other_o answer_n to_o this_o then_o say_v that_o i_o trust_v none_o of_o our_o preacher_n have_v stand_v against_o the_o keep_n of_o day_n simple_o but_o against_o the_o superstitious_a keep_n of_o they_o as_o papist_n do_v and_o against_o
