necessity_n be_v distinguish_v which_o be_v the_o four_o thing_n that_o we_o say_v can_v in_o any_o protestant_a government_n possible_o be_v prevent_v for_o if_o no_o law_n can_v possible_o eradicate_v the_o notion_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n no_o endeavour_n of_o man_n whatever_o can_v hinder_v then_o his_o be_v worship_v by_o such_o at_o least_o as_o have_v a_o sense_n of_o his_o be_v and_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v wherefore_o if_o we_o be_v train_v up_o from_o our_o childhood_n and_o train_v up_o not_o only_o as_o man_n but_o as_o protestant_n firm_o to_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v accept_v of_o no_o worship_n at_o all_o from_o we_o but_o what_o be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o word_n and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n continual_o inculcate_v to_o we_o even_o from_o our_o very_a infancy_n that_o it_o be_v in_o a_o conformity_n to_o this_o word_n alone_o that_o all_o religion_n whatever_o do_v consist_v than_o it_o be_v not_o reason_n only_o but_o experience_n itself_o which_o atte_v it_o that_o a_o man_n may_v as_o soon_o quit_v his_o notion_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n or_o to_o be_v afraid_a to_o own_v it_o and_o may_v as_o soon_o quit_v that_o notion_n that_o god_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v or_o be_v afraid_a to_o own_v it_o as_o he_o may_v quit_v or_o be_v afraid_a to_o own_o as_o a_o protestant_n this_o notion_n viz._n that_o god_n be_v so_o only_o to_o be_v worship_v and_o no_o otherwise_o then_o as_o he_o have_v set_v down_o in_o his_o word_n and_o if_o this_o notion_n then_o about_o his_o word_n as_o the_o only_a rule_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v as_o firm_o plant_v in_o we_o by_o our_o education_n as_o any_o notion_n can_v be_v plant_v in_o we_o that_o belong_v to_o our_o nature_n as_o man_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o a_o government_n may_v as_o well_o and_o with_o as_o good_a success_n hope_v or_o propound_v to_o itself_o by_o a_o law_n to_o extinguish_v common_a notion_n as_o hope_v or_o propound_v to_o itself_o by_o a_o law_n to_o extinguish_v among_o protestant_n the_o notion_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o worship_v god_n according_a to_o his_o word_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v right_o consider_v it_o will_v likewise_o appear_v that_o it_o must_v be_v to_o he_o that_o be_v true_o educate_v as_o a_o protestant_n every_o way_n as_o grievous_a to_o be_v command_v by_o a_o law_n to_o forsake_v christianity_n itself_o as_o to_o be_v command_v by_o a_o law_n to_o forsake_v that_o worship_n which_o he_o as_o a_o protestant_n can_v but_o believe_v in_o his_o heart_n be_v alone_o agreeable_a to_o the_o mind_n and_o law_n of_o god_n which_o be_v that_o worship_n that_o be_v give_v to_o god_n direct_o conformable_a to_o his_o scripture_n or_o word_n and_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o the_o martyr_n in_o queen_n mary_n time_n be_v a_o competent_a witness_n and_o consequent_o they_o that_o pretend_v to_o take_v another_o measure_n of_o protestantism_n than_o according_a to_o what_o be_v thus_o firm_o root_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n both_o by_o their_o education_n and_o by_o the_o very_a principle_n and_o doctrine_n of_o the_o reformation_n do_v seem_v but_o to_o prevaricate_v only_o with_o the_o reform_a religion_n and_o with_o the_o six_o article_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o do_v if_o not_o in_o woe_n d_n yet_o in_o action_n seem_v manifest_o to_o declare_v that_o they_o neither_o real_o believe_v the_o scripture_n or_o the_o christian_a religion_n or_o the_o reformation_n to_o be_v of_o god_n for_o if_o the_o whole_a of_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o in_o the_o scripture_n alone_o as_o the_o six_o article_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v both_o plain_o and_o express_o confess_v it_o be_v then_o to_o make_v the_o rule_n of_o the_o word_n to_o be_v our_o rule_n whole_o as_o christian_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v so_o far_o from_o a_o obstinacy_n in_o we_o and_o so_o far_o from_o any_o thing_n of_o humour_n or_o superstition_n or_o conceitedness_n that_o the_o contrary_n can_v be_v no_o way_n dispensible_a and_o much_o less_o maintainable_a before_o god_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v neither_o any_o part_n of_o popery_n itself_o nor_o any_o thing_n of_o idolatry_n though_o never_o so_o gross_a but_o it_o may_v be_v as_o easy_o impose_v upon_o and_o as_o easy_o entertain_v by_o a_o protestant_n as_o any_o worship_n may_v which_o he_o evident_o see_v or_o be_v sufficient_o persuade_v of_o in_o his_o conscience_n to_o be_v against_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n or_o against_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o word_n see_v it_o be_v this_o rule_n that_o be_v the_o only_a index_n of_o his_o mind_n as_o to_o we_o and_o it_o be_v this_o rule_n alone_o to_o which_o all_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v entire_o make_v and_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v make_v to_o this_o rule_n only_o this_o rule_n and_o no_o other_o must_v then_o as_o we_o be_v christian_n be_v the_o alone_a foundation_n both_o of_o all_o our_o hope_n and_o of_o all_o our_o trust_n towards_o god_n and_o must_v consequent_o be_v the_o only_a ground_n upon_o which_o we_o can_v as_o christian_n have_v any_o expectation_n of_o salvation_n and_o life_n and_o consequent_o the_o whole_a interest_n and_o concern_v of_o our_o soul_n at_o least_o as_o we_o be_v protestant_n do_v and_o must_v stand_v entire_o upon_o the_o say_a word_n which_o deduction_n if_o they_o can_v any_o way_n possible_o be_v deny_v the_o disobey_v then_o f_z all_o such_o law_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o worship_n as_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o which_o at_o lest_o appear_v not_o to_o be_v so_o be_v a_o thing_n whole_o inevitable_a and_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v avoid_v in_o a_o protestant_a government_n even_o as_o we_o be_v rational_a person_n because_o there_o be_v a_o threefold_a reason_n that_o necessary_o impell_v it_o first_o as_o it_o have_v its_o rise_n from_o that_o most_o forcible_a and_o indelible_a character_n wh_o ch_n be_v write_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o all_o man_n viz._n that_o see_v god_n be_v he_o ought_v to_o be_v worship_v in_o some_o manner_n or_o another_o of_o necessity_n second_o as_o it_o have_v its_o rise_n from_o that_o character_n which_o have_v equal_a force_n with_o the_o other_o in_o the_o mind_n of_o we_o as_o we_o be_v breed_v protestant_n viz._n that_o god_n be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o be_v worship_v nor_o will_v accept_v of_o any_o worship_n from_o we_o as_o christian_n but_o what_o be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o word_n which_o two_o principle_n see_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o education_n they_o make_v but_o one_o indeed_o in_o our_o heart_n as_o we_o be_v protestant_n they_o do_v and_o must_v constrain_v we_o as_o soon_o to_o abandon_v all_o worship_n itself_o unto_o god_n as_o to_o abandon_v that_o worship_n which_o be_v proper_o agreeable_a to_o his_o word_n because_o so_o far_o as_o we_o abandon_v this_o we_o do_v abandon_v all_o worship_n that_o be_v according_a to_o our_o principle_n as_o protestant_n either_o acceptable_a with_o god_n or_o agreeable_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n wherefore_o if_o to_o these_o two_o we_o shall_v add_v the_o three_o ground_n of_o its_o rise_n which_o be_v as_o certain_a also_o as_o either_o of_o the_o other_o viz._n that_o we_o neither_o have_v hope_n in_o god_n nor_o any_o promise_n make_v we_o by_o god_n further_o than_o as_o we_o obey_v he_o in_o his_o word_n or_o further_o than_o as_o we_o worship_v he_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o it_o i_o say_v these_o three_o thing_n be_v now_o joint_o consider_v and_o serious_o weigh_v by_o we_o what_o man_n be_v there_o or_o what_o man_n can_v there_o be_v who_o firm_o believe_v there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o salvation_n and_o life_n who_o will_v not_o run_v any_o hazard_n rather_o than_o forbear_v what_o he_o judge_v to_o be_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n or_o rather_o than_o he_o will_v observe_v such_o a_o worship_n unto_o god_n as_o he_o can_v but_o know_v or_o can_v at_o least_o but_o very_o believe_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o mind_n and_o contrary_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o word_n if_o it_o be_v evil_a then_o for_o any_o man_n to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v indispensible_o to_o be_v worship_v after_o some_o manner_n or_o another_o or_o evil_a for_o a_o man_n to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o rule_n of_o his_o will_n or_o mind_n to_o we_o as_o we_o be_v christian_n but_o his_o word_n and_o therefore_o no_o other_o rule_n wherein_o his_o worship_n be_v contain_v beside_o his_o say_a word_n or_o if_o it_o be_v evil_a to_o expect_v that_o god_n will_v most_o true_o faithful_o and_o full_o perform_v
