man_n compel_v to_o hear_v but_o think_v the_o good_a tiding_n of_o salvation_n and_o the_o proposal_n of_o life_n and_o death_n means_n and_o inducement_n enough_o to_o make_v they_o hear_v and_o consider_v now_o as_o well_o as_o heretofore_o then_o your_o mean_n your_o punishment_n be_v not_o necessary_a what_o if_o god_n will_v have_v man_n leave_v to_o their_o freedom_n in_o this_o point_n if_o they_o will_v hear_v or_o if_o they_o will_v forbear_v will_v you_o constrain_v they_o thus_o we_o be_v sure_o he_o do_v with_o his_o own_o people_n and_o this_o when_o they_o be_v in_o captivity_n 7._o and_o it_o be_v very_o like_a be_v ill_o treat_v for_o be_v of_o a_o different_a religion_n from_o the_o national_a and_o so_o be_v punish_v as_o dissenter_n yet_o than_o god_n expect_v not_o that_o those_o punishment_n shall_v force_v they_o to_o hearken_v more_o than_o at_o other_o time_n as_o appear_v by_o ezek._n 3.11_o and_o this_o also_o be_v the_o method_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o be_v ambassador_n for_o christ_n as_o if_o god_n do_v beseech_v by_o we_o we_o pray_v in_o christ_n stead_n say_v st._n paul_n 2_o cor._n v_o 20._o if_o god_n have_v think_v it_o necessary_a to_o have_v man_n punish_v to_o make_v they_o give_v ear_n he_o can_v have_v call_v magistrate_n to_o be_v spreader_n and_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o well_o as_o poor_a fisherman_n or_o paul_n a_o persecutor_n who_o yet_o want_v not_o power_n to_o punish_v where_o punishment_n be_v necessary_a as_o be_v evident_a in_o ananias_n and_o sapphira_n and_o the_o incestuous_a corinthian_a 2_o what_o if_o god_n foresee_v this_o force_n will_v be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n as_o passionate_a as_o humoursome_a as_o liable_a to_o prejudice_n and_o error_n as_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o brethren_n do_v not_o think_v it_o a_o proper_a mean_n to_o bring_v man_n into_o the_o right_a way_n 3_o what_o if_o there_o be_v other_o mean_n then_o you_o cease_v to_o be_v necessary_a upon_o the_o account_n that_o there_o be_v no_o mean_n leave_v for_o you_o yourself_o allow_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v another_o mean_n and_o i_o suppose_v you_o will_v not_o deny_v it_o to_o be_v both_o a_o proper_a and_o sufficient_a mean_n and_o which_o be_v more_o the_o only_a mean_n such_o mean_n as_o can_v work_v by_o itself_o and_o without_o which_o all_o the_o force_n in_o the_o world_n can_v do_v nothing_o god_n alone_o can_v open_v the_o ear_n that_o it_o may_v hear_v and_o open_v the_o heart_n that_o it_o may_v understand_v and_o this_o he_o do_v in_o his_o own_o good_a time_n and_o to_o who_o he_o be_v gracious_o please_v but_o not_o according_a to_o the_o will_n and_o fancy_n of_o man_n when_o he_o think_v sit_v by_o punishment_n to_o compel_v his_o brethren_n if_o god_n have_v pronounce_v against_o any_o person_n or_o people_n what_o he_o do_v against_o the_o jew_n isa._n 6.10_o make_v the_o heart_n of_o this_o people_n fat_a and_o make_v their_o ear_n heavy_a and_o shut_v their_o eye_n lest_o they_o see_v with_o their_o eye_n and_o hear_v with_o their_o ear_n and_o understand_v with_o their_o heart_n and_o convert_v and_o be_v heal_v will_v all_o the_o force_v you_o can_v use_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o make_v they_o hear_v and_o understand_v and_o be_v convert_v but_o sir_n to_o return_v your_o argument_n you_o see_v no_o

aught_o to_o have_v no_o sway_n at_o all_o in_o the_o matter_n and_o with_o little_a or_o no_o examination_n of_o the_o proper_a ground_n of_o it_o and_o thence_o you_o conclude_v the_o use_n of_o force_n by_o the_o magistrate_n upon_o dissenter_n necessary_a and_o i_o say_v i_o see_v no_o other_o mean_n leave_v take_v the_o world_n as_o we_o now_o find_v it_o wherein_o the_o magistrate_n

and_o therefore_o with_o little_a or_o no_o examination_n of_o the_o proper_a ground_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v the_o use_n of_o force_n by_o dissent●…rs_n upon_o conformist_n necessary_a i_o appeal_v to_o the_o world_n whether_o this_o be_v not_o as_o just_a and_o natural_a a_o conclusion_n as_o you_o though_o if_o you_o will_v have_v my_o opinion_n i_o think_v the_o more_o genuine_a consequence_n be_v that_o force_n to_o make_v man_n examine_v matter_n of_o religion_n be_v not_o necessary_a at_o all_o but_o you_o may_v take_v which_o of_o these_o consequence_n you_o please_v both_o of_o they_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o can_v avoid_v it_o be_v not_o for_o you_o and_o i_o out_o of_o a_o imagination_n that_o they_o may_v be_v useful_a or_o be_v necessary_a to_o

and_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v use_v be_v a_o way_n of_o argue_v become_v the_o ignorance_n and_o humility_n of_o poor_a creature_n but_o i_o think_v force_n useful_a or_o necessary_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v use_v have_v methinks_v a_o little_a too_o much_o presumption_n in_o it_o you_o ask_v what_o mean_v else_o be_v there_o leave_v none_o say_v i_o to_o be_v use_v by_o

be_v not_o to_o use_v any_o other_o mean_v to_o procure_v this_o gift_n to_o any_o one_o but_o what_o god_n himself_o have_v prescribe_v if_o he_o have_v there_o appoint_v that_o any_o shall_v be_v

if_o they_o do_v not_o it_o will_v be_v past_a doubt_n it_o be_v to_o be_v make_v use_n of_o but_o till_o that_o can_v be_v do_v it_o will_v be_v in_o vain_a to_o say_v what_o other_o mean_n be_v
