though_o we_o conform_v not_o so_o far_o as_o to_o declare_v our_o assent_n and_o consent_v to_o the_o use_n of_o the_o calendar_n prescript_n or_o directory_n which_o require_v they_o to_o be_v

there_o be_v such_o doctrine_n worship_n and_o discipline_n as_o he_o have_v command_v 2._o that_o there_o be_v such_o pastor_n to_o exercise_v they_o who_o office_n he_o have_v describe_v 3._o that_o

these_o church_n enjoy_v the_o privilege_n grant_v they_o by_o christ_n and_o live_v in_o love_n peace_n and_o concord_n and_o hold_v such_o just_a correspondence_n as_o be_v necessary_a thereto_o and_o to_o the_o common_a end_n and_o good_a all_o this_o be_v of_o divine_a appointment_n 2._o so_o that_o these_o divine_a institution_n be_v not_o violate_v by_o humane_a or_o by_o the_o power_n of_o man_n 3._o so_o that_o humane_a church_n be_v not_o make_v equal_a and_o coordinate_a to_o the_o divine_a much_o less_o superior_a and_o superordinate_a as_o if_o they_o be_v to_o christ_n institute_v church_n what_o a_o kingdom_n be_v to_o a_o city_n or_o a_o regiment_n to_o a_o troop_n and_o christ_n church_n be_v but_o similar_v part_n of_o the_o humane_a church_n that_o must_v

have_v before_o say_v that_o he_o may_v make_v his_o own_o officer_n and_o consequent_o province_n for_o they_o and_o order_n of_o their_o exercise_n and_o the_o church_n in_o his_o dominion_n may_v be_v so_o call_v one_o national_a church_n as_o he_o be_v the_o exterior_a civil_a governor_n of_o they_o all_o by_o the_o sword_n which_o indeed_o be_v but_o to_o be_v a_o religious_a or_o christian_a kingdom_n as_o also_o ab_fw-la accident_n as_o these_o many_o church_n be_v under_o one_o christian_n yea_o be_v he_o a_o infidel_n king_n and_o as_o hereby_o they_o have_v the_o advantage_n of_o fraternal_a association_n and_o correspondency_n for_o concord_n but_o proper_a denomination_n be_v from_o the_o essential_a form_n xxxviii_o it_o be_v no_o part_n of_o our_o nonconformity_n to_o be_v against_o the_o due_a use_n or_o authority_n of_o council_n or_o synod_n of_o the_o clergy_n we_o hold_v that_o when_o one_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o one_o church_n for_o a_o cause_n belong_v to_o the_o cognisance_n of_o many_o many_o may_v have_v occasion_n to_o take_v cognisance_n of_o it_o and_o the_o edification_n of_o each_o other_o the_o satisfactory_a debate_n of_o difficulty_n the_o preservation_n of_o mutual_a love_n peace_n and_o concord_n may_v make_v synod_n to_o be_v useful_a but_o yet_o we_o hold_v that_o the_o major_a vote_n of_o bishop_n in_o a_o council_n be_v not_o thereby_o the_o proper_a governor_n of_o the_o minor_a dissent_v part_n nor_o of_o the_o absent_a bishop_n but_o that_o council_n be_v for_o counsel_n and_o concord_n and_o not_o for_o direct_v regiment_n of_o each_o other_o though_o together_o and_o asunder_o the_o pastor_n be_v all_o governor_n of_o the_o flock_n and_o some_o of_o we_o have_v long_o ago_o public_o prove_v that_o council_n be_v call_v general_n at_o first_o but_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o dominion_n or_o empire_n of_o one_o prince_n and_o not_o as_o if_o they_o be_v universal_a as_o to_o all_o the_o christian_a world_n and_o that_o absolute_o universal_a council_n never_o be_v or_o aught_o or_o can_v or_o ever_o will_v be_v call_v and_o that_o to_o pretend_v that_o a_o papal_a or_o imperial_a general_n council_n be_v the_o universal_a lawgiver_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o they_o have_v a_o promise_n of_o infallibility_n in_o what_o ever_o they_o determine_v and_o that_o we_o receive_v our_o faith_n in_o christ_n upon_o their_o infallibility_n give_v by_o he_o and_o so_o we_o must_v know_v that_o christ_n make_v they_o infallible_a before_o we_o can_v believe_v that_o he_o be_v christ_n these_o and_o such_o other_o nonsense_n cheat_v which_o some_o be_v now_o agitate_v be_v fit_a to_o delude_v none_o but_o the_o gross_o ignorant_a that_o be_v prepare_v for_o deceit_n thirty-nine_o yet_o we_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o god_n have_v first_o bind_v we_o to_o unity_n and_o concord_n as_o far_o as_o we_o can_v attain_v with_o love_a forbearance_n in_o the_o rest_n when_o a_o lawful_a synod_n or_o council_n have_v determine_v of_o a_o way_n of_o concord_n on_o lawful_a term_n in_o matter_n under_o their_o power_n there_o be_v a_o obligation_n on_o all_o the_o particular_a member_n to_o forbear_v break_v that_o union_n and_o violate_v those_o lawful_a term_n of_o concord_n for_o where_o there_o be_v not_o a_o govern_v law_n there_o may_v be_v a_o oblige_a contract_n or_o consent_v and_o whereas_o even_o the_o papist_n now_o usual_o teach_v that_o even_o a_o council_n decree_n bind_v not_o the_o church_n at_o least_o those_o that_o have_v no_o delegate_n till_o by_o actual_a reception_n they_o consent_v be_v it_o know_v to_o the_o world_n that_o on_o these_o term_n the_o nonconformist_n in_o london_n seem_v to_o have_v some_o excuse_n if_o
