A52918	Vox clamantis, or, A cry to Protestant dissenters calling them from some unwarrantable ways, with which they are vulgarly, and perhaps too truly charged, viz. from all unnecessary medling in matters of state, from too deep engagement of themselves in this present world, and too great conformity to it : from thinking too highly of themselves for their separation-sake only : from fanaticism, properly so called, in their prayers, sermons, books, &c. : and seriously exhorting them to the minding of the great concerns of heaven, to fruitfulness in well-doing, to sobriety, and the use of reason in all religious matters / by N.N. a Protestant and declared dissenter from the Church of England, as far as that church dissents from Christian liberty, to holiness and charity, and no further.	N. N., Protestant and declared dissenter from the Church of England.	1683 (1683)	Wing N63; ESTC R5934	64,696	84

privilege_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o the_o kingdom_n you_o live_v in_o and_o in_o which_o you_o be_v bear_v and_o that_o therefore_o you_o shall_v concern_v yourselves_o as_o you_o do_v i_o answer_v first_o and_o pray_v you_o however_o as_o have_v be_v say_v that_o if_o you_o do_v it_o it_o may_v be_v according_a to_o your_o place_n and_o calling_n peaceable_o without_o scandal_n so_o as_o not_o to_o be_v just_o account_v busy_a or_o pragmatical_a nor_o to_o contradict_v any_o of_o those_o holy_a christian_a rule_n that_o be_v superior_a to_o all_o civil_a right_n whatsoever_o second_o i_o answer_v if_o the_o law_n be_v hard_a against_o you_o how_o can_v that_o be_v help_v or_o how_o can_v you_o struggle_v against_o it_o see_v it_o be_v your_o own_o principle_n that_o the_o english_a law_n do_v secure_a the_o english_a right_n and_o that_o the_o people_n be_v to_o be_v both_o govern_v and_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o declare_a law_n of_o the_o land_n so_o that_o still_o you_o ought_v to_o be_v quiet_a and_o silent_a but_o you_o say_v your_o civil_a right_n be_v invade_v whether_o you_o say_v true_a in_o this_o or_o whether_o they_o on_o the_o contrary_a must_v be_v leave_v to_o be_v judge_v of_o by_o the_o general_a judgement_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o the_o great_a council_n of_o it_o but_o for_o private_a person_n to_o contend_v much_o about_o these_o thing_n seem_v to_o make_v matter_n but_o the_o worse_a and_o to_o prejudice_v other_o the_o more_o because_o you_o do_v so_o much_o and_o speak_v so_o much_o about_o they_o three_o and_o last_o you_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o according_a to_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n and_o principle_n you_o be_v sometime_o to_o forego_v and_o not_o reckon_v of_o nor_o regard_n neither_o your_o natural_a nor_o civil_a right_n and_o privilege_n you_o may_v insist_v upon_o and_o plead_v they_o when_o they_o may_v do_v you_o good_a and_o service_n as_o paul_n do_v his_o roman_a freedom_n but_o to_o make_v matter_n of_o needless_a quarrel_n and_o contest_v and_o great_a concern_v and_o so_o to_o cause_v disturbance_n or_o unquietness_n or_o scandal_n about_o they_o i_o know_v no_o warrant_n you_o have_v but_o that_o for_o the_o gospel-sake_n and_o for_o peace-sake_n and_o the_o heal_n of_o prejudice_n you_o ought_v to_o let_v they_o alone_o as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o for_o consider_v be_v not_o the_o peace_n and_o enjoyment_n of_o our_o life_n good_n estate_n your_o natural_a and_o civil_a right_n yet_o be_v christian_n upon_o occasion_n to_o part_v with_o all_o of_o they_o to_o loose_a and_o say_v down_o their_o life_n to_o suffer_v joyful_o the_o spoil_n of_o their_o good_n where_o they_o can_v save_v they_o without_o sin_n and_o scandal_n or_o breach_n of_o their_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n again_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o truth_n at_o all_o time_n and_o justifiable_a that_o christian_a man_n shall_v stand_v so_o stiff_a upon_o their_o right_n birthrights_a etc._n etc._n or_o whatever_o else_o be_v due_a to_o they_o that_o not_o only_o to_o avoid_v scandal_n they_o be_v to_o wave_v and_o suspend_v they_o but_o further_a though_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n from_o without_o force_v they_o they_o shall_v and_o must_v sometime_o voluntary_o forego_v their_o right_n and_o lay_v all_o aside_o for_o the_o truth_n sake_n and_o other_o good_a christian_a purpose_n when_o they_o can_v by_o so_o do_v promote_v peace_n and_o godliness_n in_o the_o world_n and_o increase_v the_o honour_n and_o credit_n of_o the_o gospel_n thereby_o thus_o the_o apostle_n though_o it_o be_v his_o right_n to_o take_v money_n or_o reward_v for_o his_o preach_v and_o he_o prove_v it_o by_o many_o argument_n so_o to_o be_v yet_o he_o whole_o wave_v it_o when_o he_o see_v that_o the_o take_n of_o it_o will_v prejudice_v and_o the_o wave_n of_o it_o will_v promote_v the_o truth_n etc._n etc._n some_o will_n conceit_n that_o to_o forego_v these_o thing_n for_o christ_n sake_n i._n e._n for_o his_o honour_n and_o interest_n in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o suffer_v for_o christ_n except_o we_o bear_v a_o testimony_n to_o his_o truth_n in_o the_o way_n of_o martyrdom_n or_o suffer_v persecution_n for_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o truth_n but_o they_o shall_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v a_o suffering_n for_o christ_n and_o the_o gospel_n though_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o way_n of_o persecution_n nor_o under_o trial_n of_o that_o kind_n when_o for_o his_o sake_n and_o interest_n and_o carry_v on_o the_o affair_n of_o his_o kingdom_n in_o the_o world_n we_o deny_v ourselves_o of_o any_o of_o our_o profit_n right_n and_o privilege_n and_o do_v not_o insist_v upon_o they_o nor_o stand_v to_o maintain_v they_o when_o and_o though_o they_o be_v due_a unto_o we_o e._n g._n all_o just_a debt_n be_v our_o right_n and_o property_n and_o so_o may_v we_o seek_v and_o sue_v for_o they_o as_o it_o be_v general_o suppose_v and_o presume_v in_o a_o legal_a way_n yet_o when_o this_o by_o some_o intervening_a circumstance_n may_v become_v scandalous_a or_o not_o fall_v in_o with_o the_o main_a design_n we_o may_v not_o in_o such_o a_o way_n seek_v our_o own_o and_o so_o in_o many_o other_o thing_n and_o in_o this_o thing_n now_o in_o question_n final_o some_o will_v plead_v that_o though_o we_o may_v give_v away_o our_o own_o

not_o always_o to_o insist_v upon_o they_o at_o least_o not_o so_o much_o and_o before_o thing_n of_o great_a moment_n to_o you_o than_o they_o second_o you_o need_v not_o to_o forego_v the_o right_n of_o they_o nor_o yet_o be_v so_o busy_a and_o concern_v yourselves_o so_o much_o about_o they_o a_o man_n estate_n and_o life_n be_v and_o may_v be_v his_o posterity_n yet_o may_v he_o lawful_o if_o

mind_v and_o understand_v that_o we_o may_v have_v just_a knowledge_n and_o true_a notion_n of_o the_o true_a gospel_n principles_n and_o the_o excellency_n of_o they_o sect_n iv_o three_o another_o

not_o of_o your_o own_o way_n and_o party_n and_o this_o only_a for_o your_o profession_n and_o separation-sake_n and_o that_o though_o you_o pretend_v more_o in_o this_o kind_n and_o great_a purity_n than_o other_o yet_o you_o show_v forth_o no_o more_o of_o real_a virtue_n nor_o of_o the_o unquestionable_a fruit_n of_o well-doing_n than_o other_o that_o pretend_v not_o so_o much_o and_o they_o

and_o worship_n after_o another_o manner_n than_o they_o do_v all_o which_o they_o think_v be_v but_o humour_n and_o fancy_n and_o that_o as_o every_o one_o will_v have_v their_o way_n so_o you_o will_v have_v you_o they_o think_v that_o it_o be_v now_o as_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n time_n and_o that_o this_o generation_n be_v but_o like_o that_o viz._n that_o one_o sort_n or_o part_n of_o
