which_o my_o lord_n call_v so_o that_o if_o these_o corruption_n be_v fundamental_a they_o may_v be_v such_o too_o as_o may_v keep_v these_o church_n which_o he_o speak_v of_o from_o be_v true_a

than_o his_o lordship_n ought_v not_o to_o separate_v but_o to_o join_v in_o communion_n with_o they_o for_o all_o these_o either_o yoke_n or_o corruption_n the_o apostle_n indeed_o tell_v we_o of_o

these_o corruption_n contrary_a as_o he_o think_v to_o their_o duty_n but_o it_o seem_v they_o think_v not_o so_o or_o if_o they_o do_v think_v so_o why_o do_v they_o not_o remonstrate_v their_o

their_o yield_n unto_o and_o their_o admit_v these_o thing_n which_o he_o call_v yoke_n and_o corruption_n as_o for_o that_o which_o follow_v and_o which_o my_o lord_n say_v he_o be_v sure_a of_o that_o no_o separatist_n in_o england_n that_o deserve_v that_o name_n hold_v that_o which_o his_o lordship_n say_v here_o he_o do_v believe_v in_o that_o also_o i_o conceive_v his_o lordship_n be_v

believe_v namely_o that_o there_o be_v in_o england_n many_o true_a church_n that_o be_v assembly_n or_o congregation_n of_o their_o own_o brotherhood_n and_o a_o true_a ministry_n to_o wit_n those_o which_o themselves_o have_v make_v and_o that_o they_o do_v hear_v they_o that_o be_v such_o as_o these_o yea_o and_o that_o they_o can_v join_v in_o communion_n with_o some_o other_o church_n be_v those_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n which_o be_v lay_v upon_o they_o take_v off_o and_o those_o corruption_n remove_v that_o be_v upon_o the_o matter_n if_o they_o will_v become_v as_o themselves_o be_v than_o they_o will_v join_v with_o they_o and_o this_o 〈◊〉_d of_o all_o doubt_n they_o think_v they_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o neither_o yield_v unto_o such_o yoek_n nor_o admit_v of_o such_o

therefore_o no_o question_n can_v be_v make_v but_o that_o my_o lord_n deserve_v that_o name_n as_o much_o as_o any_o of_o they_o even_o while_o he_o say_v he_o be_v sure_a no_o separatist_n in_o england_n that_o deserve_v that_o name_n hold_v as_o he_o do_v but_o to_o come_v to_o the_o quick_a the_o brownist_n and_o separatist_n deal_v plain_o with_o god_n and_o the_o world_n and_o say_v express_o that_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o england_n as_o it_o stand_v establish_v by_o law_n be_v peccant_a both_o in_o the_o doctrine_n liturgy_n and_o discipline_n of_o it_o and_o in_o such_o a_o

and_o congregation_n but_o my_o lord_n he_o equivocate_v both_o with_o god_n and_o man_n and_o tell_v we_o he_o believe_v there_o be_v true_a church_n in_o england_n and_o a_o true_a ministry_n which_o he_o hear_v and_o this_o no_o separatist_n that_o understand_v himself_o but_o will_v say_v as_o fast_o as_o he_o but_o let_v his_o lordship_n come_v home_o to_o the_o business_n direct_o and_o plain_o let_v he_o say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v a_o true_a church_n that_o the_o ministry_n of_o it_o be_v a_o true_a ministry_n that_o the_o doctrine_n liturgy_n and_o discipline_n of_o it_o as_o it_o stand_v establish_v now_o by_o law_n be_v free_a from_o any_o such_o corruption_n as_o give_v just_a cause_n for_o a_o separation_n and_o when_o he_o have_v say_v this_o let_v he_o join_v in_o communion_n with_o it_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o then_o he_o shall_v wrong_v my_o lord_n very_o deep_o that_o say_v he_o be_v a_o separatist_n but_o for_o all_o this_o which_o he_o have_v yet_o say_v for_o himself_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o a_o separatist_n he_o be_v and_o i_o doubt_v have_v hereby_o prove_v himself_o whether_o i_o will_v or_o no_o the_o great_a separatist_n in_o england_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v little_a cause_n to_o hope_v as_o he_o say_v he_o do_v that_o he_o shall_v stand_v right_a in_o their_o lordship_n opinion_n or_o any_o other_o man_n that_o be_v not_o possess_v with_o the_o same_o humour_n yet_o my_o lord_n have_v two_o request_n to_o make_v i_o will_v now_o end_v with_o two_o request_n the_o one_o that_o your_o lordship_n will_v please_v to_o pardon_v i_o for_o trouble_v you_o with_o so_o long_a a_o discourse_n concern_v myself_o i_o have_v not_o use_v it_o heretofore_o and_o i_o be_o not_o like_a to_o offend_v again_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n it_o be_v but_o once_o and_o your_o lordship_n will_v consider_v the_o occasion_n in_o this_o suit_n be_v there_o need_v i_o will_v join_v with_o my_o lord_n for_o though_o i_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o hard_a measure_n put_v upon_o i_o in_o this_o speech_n yet_o i_o have_v the_o more_o reason_n to_o be_v content_a with_o it_o because_o this_o whole_a discourse_n of_o my_o lord_n well_o weigh_v be_v more_o against_o himself_o then_o i_o and_o such_o trouble_v of_o his_o lordship_n i_o hope_v all_o man_n well_o affect_v to_o the_o present_a church_n of_o england_n will_v easy_o pardon_v and_o this_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o their_o lordship_n and_o all_o man_n else_o will_v the_o rather_o do_v when_o they_o consider_v the_o occasion_n which_o certain_o i_o give_v not_o personal_o in_o the_o house_n but_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n it_o seem_v will_v needs_o be_v mean_v the_o second_o request_n be_v to_o entreat_v of_o you_o that_o where_o you_o know_v there_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n worship_v one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n embrace_v one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n work_v love_n and_o cause_v a_o unblamable_a conversation_n without_o any_o offence_n to_o the_o state_n in_o your_o brethren_n who_o in_o all_o these_o concur_v with_o you_o you_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o for_o ceremony_n and_o thing_n indifferent_a to_o you_o but_o not_o to_o they_o but_o burden_n which_o without_o offence_n to_o the_o state_n or_o prejudice_n to_o the_o church_n you_o may_v take_v off_o if_o you_o will_v to_o be_v thrust_v out_o of_o the_o land_n and_o cut_v off_o from_o their_o native_a country_n for_o if_o you_o thus_o shall_v wound_v the_o conscience_n of_o your_o brethren_n you_o will_v certain_o offend_v and_o sin_n against_o christ._n in_o this_o second_o request_n i_o can_v easy_o agree_v with_o my_o lord_n in_o some_o thing_n but_o must_v differ_v in_o other_o and_o first_o i_o agree_v with_o all_o my_o 1._o heart_n that_o i_o will_v have_v no_o pressure_n at_o all_o much_o less_o cut_v off_o from_o their_o native_a country_n put_v upon_o they_o who_o be_v know_v to_o worship_v the_o same_o god_n to_o embrace_v one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n work_v love_n but_o in_o this_o i_o must_v disagree_v that_o the_o separatist_n for_o they_o be_v the_o man_n of_o who_o this_o lord_n speak_v thus_o and_o say_v they_o be_v your_o brethren_n and_o concur_v with_o you_o in_o all_o these_o be_v not_o know_v to_o be_v such_o for_o though_o he_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n who_o they_o worship_v yet_o the_o worship_n be_v not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o for_o my_o lord_n say_v plain_o that_o our_o set_a form_n be_v superstition_n and_o that_o he_o can_v join_v in_o communion_n with_o we_o till_o our_o

second_o particular_a be_v a_o excellent_a one_o it_o be_v about_o the_o adoration_n of_o the_o bread_n in_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n cap._n 6._o 6._o and_o it_o be_v employ_v as_o if_o this_o superstition_n be_v condemn_v in_o the_o copy_n send_v by_o their_o prelate_n but_o leave_v out_o by_o i_o good_a god_n how_o shameless_a be_v these_o churchman_n for_o they_o draw_v up_o these_o article_n against_o i_o though_o the_o lay-commissioner_n deliver_v they_o and_o be_v there_o neither_o clergy_n nor_o layman_n among_o they_o so_o careful_a as_o to_o compare_v the_o word_n of_o the_o charge_n with_o the_o word_n of_o the_o canon_n before_o they_o will_v venture_v to_o deliver_v they_o into_o so_o great_a a_o court_n as_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n will_v not_o mr._n alexander_n henderson_n who_o be_v the_o prime_a leader_n in_o these_o church-affair_n be_v so_o careful_a for_o himself_o and_o his_o own_o reputation_n as_o not_o public_o to_o deliver_v in_o a_o most_o notorious_a untruth_n for_o most_o manifest_a it_o be_v that_o these_o word_n as_o therefore_o the_o adoration_n of_o the_o bread_n be_v condemn_v etc._n etc._n stand_v still_o in_o the_o copy_n revise_v by_o i_o as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o print_a copy_n of_o those_o canon_n and_o in_o the_o same_o place_n by_o they_o quote_v and_o in_o a_o different_a character_n that_o i_o wonder_v how_o any_o man_n eye_n can_v miss_v they_o so_o here_o i_o be_o accuse_v for_o put_v that_o out_o which_o i_o leave_v in_o the_o three_o particular_a be_v that_o their_o prelate_n call_v the_o absoluteness_n of_o baptism_n a_o error_n of_o popery_n cap._n 6._o 2._o which_o be_v 〈◊〉_d out_o too_o they_o say_v in_o my_o edition_n as_o they_o will_v needs_o call_v the_o print_a copy_n the_o truth_n be_v this_o we_o do_v think_v fit_a to_o leave_v out_o because_o the_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o baptism_n in_o the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o the_o church_n leave_v god_n as_o he_o be_v most_o free_a to_o save_v with_o baptism_n or_o without_o as_o himself_o please_v be_v no_o popish_a error_n but_o the_o true_a tenet_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v by_o their_o good_a leave_n a_o error_n in_o your_o prelate_n to_o call_v it_o so_o and_o i_o provide_v both_o for_o truth_n and_o their_o credit_n by_o keep_v it_o from_o the_o view_n of_o christendom_n nor_o can_v you_o expect_v other_o from_o i_o in_o this_o point_n be_v a_o archbishop_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o maintain_v the_o necessity_n of_o baptism_n such_o as_o be_v above_o mention_v as_o appear_v in_o the_o rubric_n before_o public_a baptism_n in_o the_o service-book_n confirm_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n the_o word_n be_v these_o though_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o administer_v baptism_n on_o sunday_n and_o other_o holiday_n etc._n etc._n nevertheless_o if_o necessity_n so_o require_v child_n may_v at_o all_o time_n be_v baptize_v at_o home_n and_o again_o in_o the_o rubric_n before_o private_a baptism_n thus_o when_o great_a need_n shall_v compel_v they_o to_o baptise_v their_o child_n at_o home_n it_o shall_v be_v administer_v on_o this_o fashion_n and_o far_o the_o church_n 69._o of_o england_n take_v care_n to_o have_v such_o minister_n punish_v as_o shall_v defer_v baptism_n if_o the_o child_n be_v in_o danger_n so_o that_o i_o can_v not_o let_v this_o clause_n stand_v in_o the_o scottish_a canon_n but_o i_o must_v charge_v my_o mother_n the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o guilty_a of_o maintain_v a_o error_n of_o popery_n and_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n for_o confirm_v it_o 5._o our_o prelate_n have_v not_o the_o boldness_n to_o trouble_v we_o in_o their_o canon_n with_o altar_n font_n chancel_v read_v of_o a_o long_a

but_o so_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v once_o get_v the_o power_n into_o their_o own_o hand_n they_o make_v it_o present_o appear_v that_o though_o their_o prelate_n have_v not_o the_o boldness_n to_o
