the_o author_n of_o this_o follow_a treatise_n be_v sufficient_a reason_n for_o we_o to_o publish_v this_o same_o unto_o the_o world_n in_o regard_n of_o those_o large_a ability_n above_o many_o other_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v bestow_v upon_o he_o and_o in_o regard_n he_o be_v now_o at_o rest_n with_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o have_v finish_v long_o since_o his_o course_n in_o this_o his_o

for_o so_o long_a time_n consider_v the_o work_n be_v perfect_v and_o writ_v by_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o so_o find_v after_o his_o death_n which_o be_v nine_o year_n since_o in_o his_o study_n yet_o

treatise_n be_v for_o so_o many_o year_n a_o pastor_n in_o regard_n we_o do_v perceive_v that_o some_o though_o not_o many_o be_v contrary_a mind_v to_o the_o author_n judgement_n express_v in_o this_o trtatise_n and_o this_o we_o judge_v to_o be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n of_o our_o so_o long_o delay_v of_o publish_v this_o treatise_n to_o the_o world_n yet_o to_o our_o grief_n we_o have_v now_o just_a cause_n to_o put_v this_o same_o on_o foot_n for_o as_o when_o a_o city_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o enemy_n to_o be_v surprise_v it_o be_v then_o high_a time_n to_o take_v up_o all_o those_o warlike_a munition_n which_o happy_o before_o that_o time_n be_v cast_v aside_o and_o not_o regard_v that_o so_o they_o may_v the_o better_o maintain_v their_o city_n and_o the_o privilege_n of_o it_o against_o their_o enemy_n so_o we_o judge_v it_o as_o necessary_a if_o not_o more_o when_o we_o see_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n church_n to_o encroach_v upon_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o same_o especial_o when_o they_o aim_v at_o the_o utter_a ruinate_n of_o it_o that_o then_o it_o be_v high_a time_n for_o we_o to_o defend_v the_o cause_n of_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o jehojada_n the_o high_a priest_n perceive_v the_o malice_n of_o athalia_fw-la seek_v to_o destroy_v the_o whole_a seed_n of_o jehosaphat_n to_o hide_v joash_n the_o right_a heir_n of_o the_o

have_v labour_v to_o assume_v the_o power_n to_o themselves_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o church_n and_o so_o diotrephes_n like_o will_v cast_v out_o who_o they_o please_v and_o retain_v who_o they_o think_v good_a and_o rather_o than_o they_o will_v be_v hinder_v in_o this_o their_o attempt_n they_o will_v labour_v to_o rend_v that_o church_n in_o piece_n in_o which_o they_o have_v live_v for_o many_o year_n together_o and_o that_o we_o may_v not_o seem_v to_o accuse_v they_o of_o any_o thing_n without_o just_a reason_n we_o desire_v the_o christian_a reader_n and_o themselves_o to_o consider_v this_o that_o follow_v first_o their_o schism_n or_o as_o they_o call_v it_o their_o leave_v of_o the_o church_n do_v arise_v upon_o this_o occasion_n to_o wit_n that_o 2._o which_o be_v

these_o who_o have_v now_o make_v this_o rent_n the_o church_n they_o will_v present_o have_v these_o person_n deal_v withal_o as_o for_o sin_n and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o repent_v after_o deal_v they_o will_v have_v the_o church_n to_o proceed_v to_o excomunicate_v they_o ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la which_o the_o church_n not_o willing_a to_o consent_v unto_o these_o man_n can_v not_o be_v satisfy_v but_o they_o will_v have_v their_o own_o will_n do_v or_o else_o they_o will_v rend_v from_o the_o church_n which_o proceed_v of_o they_o if_o it_o be_v approve_v of_o and_o follow_v no_o church_n can_v long_o continue_v together_o in_o peace_n for_o what_o these_o four_o or_o five_o man_n have_v do_v that_o may_v any_o other_o man_n do_v so_o that_o if_o any_o man_n do_v conceive_v any_o of_o his_o brethren_n to_o walk_v in_o any_o such_o sin_n which_o he_o judge_n do_v deserve_v excommunication_n if_o the_o church_n will_v not_o thereto_o consent_n he_o may_v rend_v himself_o from_o the_o same_o although_o the_o author_n of_o this_o treatise_n have_v teach_v they_o otherwise_o to_o wit_n that_o if_o the_o church_n see_v not_o that_o to_o be_v sin_n which_o i_o see_v to_o be_v a_o sin_n i_o have_v inform_v the_o church_n thereof_o according_a to_o my_o place_n i_o have_v disscharge_v my_o duty_n and_o the_o sin_n lie_v upon_o the_o church_n if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n and_o not_o upon_o i_o but_o it_o seem_v these_o man_n do_v look_v for_o that_o in_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n which_o be_v only_o to_o be_v find_v in_o heaven_n for_o themselves_o have_v affirm_v and_o that_o before_o diverse_a witness_n that_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n small_a or_o great_a that_o be_v to_o bear_v withal_o and_o that_o the_o very_o speak_v of_o a_o word_n through_o frailty_n about_o worldly_a business_n upon_o the_o sabbaoth_n day_n shall_v have_v as_o severe_a a_o sentence_n as_o he_o that_o shall_v open_o &_o profane_o transgress_v against_o the_o 4._o commandment_n the_o very_a name_n of_o with_o their_o opinion_n be_v sufficient_a to_o discover_v their_o weakness_n &_o that_o we_o may_v yet_o further_o discover_v these_o man_n folly_n to_o the_o world_n more_o full_o we_o will_v show_v you_o how_o contrary_a they_o be_v to_o themselves_o in_o this_o their_o judgement_n for_o as_o they_o say_v and_o do_v affirm_v that_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n which_o be_v to_o be_v bear_v withal_o in_o the_o church_n yet_o themselves_o or_o at_o least_o the_o chief_a of_o they_o do_v practice_v the_o contrary_a as_o for_o example_n one_o in_o stead_n of_o many_o may_v serve_v the_o turn_n the_o chief_a of_o author_n of_o this_o trouble_n do_v hold_v and_o so_o have_v for_o many_o year_n together_o to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o the_o member_n of_o one_o church_n to_o have_v communion_n with_o another_o church_n and_o yet_o not_o withstand_v this_o his_o judgement_n he_o can_v bear_v with_o one_o who_o have_v contrary_a to_o this_o his_o judgement_n practise_v and_o so_o profess_v still_o to_o do_v upon_o occasion_n and_o yet_o not_o withstand_v his_o so_o practise_v and_o so_o profess_v he_o be_v receive_v among_o they_o and_o be_v their_o chief_n if_o not_o their_o only_a teacher_n which_o they_o have_v so_o that_o we_o may_v here_o easy_o perceive_v that_o though_o this_o man_n do_v use_v iehu_n peace_n against_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o with_o who_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v alienate_v yet_o he_o can_v bear_v with_o as_o great_a sin_n in_o other_o in_o his_o judgement_n with_o who_o he_o desire_v to_o walk_v we_o can_v show_v many_o more_o reason_n to_o prove_v his_o partiality_n but_o then_o we_o shall_v exceed_v the_o bond_n of_o a_o epistle_n only_o we_o desire_v to_o give_v the_o reader_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o those_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o this_o practice_n of_o hear_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o against_o any_o article_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v by_o this_o church_n profess_v whereof_o the_o author_n of_o this_o treatise_n be_v a_o pastor_n it_o be_v no_o act_n of_o church_n communion_n for_o if_o hear_v simple_o be_v a_o act_n of_o communion_n than_o every_o hâ—â—â—tique_a or_o atheist_n or_o whatsoever_o he_o be_v that_o shall_v come_v into_o the_o church_n of_o god_n shall_v have_v communion_n with_o they_o which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a as_o
