watson_n and_o parson_n here_o in_o the_o day_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n and_o of_o latter_a time_n betwixt_o the_o jansenian_o and_o jesuit_n abroad_o 2_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o for_o our_o present_a rupture_n either_o you_o have_v make_v or_o else_o maintain_v and_o continue_v diverse_a of_o our_o breach_n 3_o that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o heaven_n and_o not_o before_o we_o may_v expect_v that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n in_o every_o thing_n 4_o that_o the_o protestant_a church_n do_v agree_v in_o the_o main_a and_o fundamental_o of_o our_o religion_n see_v the_o harmony_n of_o confess_v and_o wherein_o we_o differ_v i_o and_o 1000_o s_o other_o protestant_n desire_v to_o use_v scripture_n prayer_n and_o sound_a reason_n to_o convince_v those_o who_o be_v otherwise_o mind_v we_o desire_v to_o use_v soft_a word_n and_o hard_a reason_n to_o draw_v man_n with_o cord_n of_o love_n and_o not_o to_o burn_v and_o consume_v they_o with_o coal_n of_o fire_n yea_o i_o dare_v almost_o put_v it_o to_o yourselves_o to_o be_v judge_n whether_o there_o have_v not_o be_v in_o queen_n mary_n day_n in_o four_o year_n more_o protestant_n put_v to_o death_n in_o england_n than_o there_o have_v be_v papist_n in_o fourscore_o since_o and_o now_o if_o you_o object_n against_o the_o protestant_a church_n for_o want_n of_o a_o right_a ministry_n pretend_v their_o want_n of_o succession_n or_o a_o right_a ordination_n or_o a_o right_a government_n and_o jurisdiction_n to_o these_o it_o may_v be_v reply_v 1_o that_o succession_n in_o pure_a doctrine_n be_v a_o better_a mark_n of_o a_o true_a church_n than_o succession_n into_o the_o seat_n and_o place_n of_o former_a orthodox_n pastor_n 2_o that_o it_o be_v almost_o if_o not_o utter_o impossible_a for_o you_o papist_n too_o know_v who_o be_v the_o true_a pastor_n the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n who_o you_o pretend_v you_o must_v follow_v consider_v the_o many_o schism_n and_o the_o indirect_a &_o corrupt_a way_n whereby_o diverse_a have_v advance_v themselves_o into_o the_o chair_n 3_o our_o first_o reformer_n be_v ordain_v minister_n by_o your_o church_n and_o mr_n mason_n show_v you_o a_o succession_n since_o to_o he_o you_o may_v add_v a_o little_a piece_n of_o sr_n john_n harrington_n as_o a_o supplement_n to_o mr_n mason_n and_o dr_n ferne_n have_v justify_v the_o consecration_n of_o our_o first_o bishop_n against_o those_o frivolous_a allegation_n make_v against_o they_o 4_o if_o you_o shall_v quarrel_v with_o we_o now_o because_o bishop_n be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n lay_v aside_o as_o if_o no_o ordination_n can_v possible_o be_v valid_a except_o by_o bishop_n and_o therefore_o that_o if_o now_o we_o have_v true_a minister_n yet_o without_o restauration_n of_o bishop_n we_o can_v have_v none_o no_o minister_n long_o i_o answer_v that_o although_o i_o be_o not_o yet_o plerophorize_v that_o a_o primitive_a bishop_n or_o episcopus_fw-la praeses_fw-la be_v utter_o unlawful_a yet_o i_o be_o not_o full_o convince_v that_o they_o be_v a_o institution_n of_o christ_n and_o essential_a or_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o very_o be_v of_o a_o church_n or_o ministry_n i_o dare_v not_o so_o easy_o unchurch_n those_o of_o the_o reform_a religion_n abroad_o who_o have_v no_o bishop_n name_n or_o thing_n bishop_n or_o superintendent_o and_o in_o this_o i_o be_o not_o alone_a the_o late_a reverend_a dr_n usher_n sometime_o a_o archbishop_n himself_o be_v of_o the_o like_a judgement_n see_v his_o life_n and_o death_n by_o dr_n

if_o the_o charity_n so_o some_o protestant_n be_v a_o stumble_a block_n which_o lie_v in_o your_o way_n to_o hinder_v you_o from_o leave_v your_o error_n and_o profess_v the_o truth_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v brief_o to_o remove_v that_o out_o of_o your_o way_n first_o be_v i_o in_o your_o case_n and_o do_v not_o i_o resign_v up_o my_o judgement_n to_o the_o scripture_n according_a to_o that_o

person_n say_v to_o this_o point_n must_v paul_n be_v damn_v because_o he_o be_v not_o one_o of_o peter_n subject_n do_v not_o your_o conscience_n know_v he_o write_v to_o the_o literate_a romanist_n that_o swear_a obedience_n to_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n be_v a_o thing_n unknown_a for_o many_o hundred_o year_n yea_o that_o it_o be_v a_o novelty_n in_o the_o world_n again_o when_o i_o read_v so_o

this_o satisfy_v i_o as_o full_o that_o you_o be_v audacious_a schismatic_n as_o i_o be_o satisfy_v that_o you_o be_v papist_n so_o he_o mr_n baxter_n against_o popery_n the_o papist_n will_v sometime_o brag_v of_o their_o charity_n they_o give_v perhaps_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n to_o some_o of_o our_o poor_a and_o yet_o unchurch_n we_o poor_a and_o rich_a they_o will_v not_o stick_v i_o

their_o charity_n oh_o my_o soul_n come_v not_o thou_o into_o their_o secret_n and_o yet_o do_v not_o the_o papist_n lay_v too_o great_a a_o stress_n on_o the_o charity_n of_o some_o protestant_n consider_v the_o assertion_n of_o mr_n perkins_n which_o say_v that_o a_o reprobate_n may_v in_o truth_n be_v make_v partaker_n of_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o
