esteem_v the_o imposition_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v of_o so_o high_a a_o nature_n as_o the_o corruption_n of_o rome_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v break_v off_o all_o communion_n

from_o that_o of_o the_o minister_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o run_v into_o schism_n in_o hear_v we_o though_o we_o for_o some_o sinister_a end_n will_v not_o tell_v they_o of_o their_o error_n answ_n interest_n and_o passion_n will_v not_o suffer_v man_n to_o speak_v of_o such_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v concern_v in_o without_o uncharitable_a and_o un-scholer_n like_o reflection_n sometime_o which_o i_o will_v pity_v rather_o than_o retort_v and_o to_o the_o thing_n we_o answer_v that_o the_o people_n case_n be_v indeed_o much_o different_a from_o the_o minister_n as_o to_o active_a conformity_n i._n e._n they_o be_v not_o to_o assent_v or_o consent_v to_o all_o in_o the_o service_n book_n nor_o to_o subscribe_v as_o the_o minister_n must_v in_o order_n to_o their_o hold_a communion_n but_o passive_o the_o people_n be_v concern_v as_o far_o as_o the_o minister_n i._n e._n they_o be_v to_o suffer_v all_o these_o thing_n their_o minister_n to_o be_v cast_v out_o and_o all_o imposition_n which_o they_o and_o their_o father_n groan_v under_o to_o be_v enjoin_v with_o the_o great_a rigour_n and_o not_o show_v their_o dislike_n of_o any_o of_o they_o upon_o pain_n of_o be_v account_v schismatic_n according_a to_o the_o 27_o canon_n so_o that_o the_o people_n be_v as_o much_o wrong_v and_o impose_v on_o in_o their_o capacity_n as_o the_o minister_n be_v in_o they_o we_o grant_v that_o the_o people_n may_v hear_v and_o see_v those_o thing_n do_v in_o divine_a service_n and_o so_o may_v minister_n also_o as_o private_a man_n which_o conscientious_a minister_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v active_a in_o as_o our_o saviour_n be_v present_a at_o the_o temple_n worship_n though_o there_o be_v many_o superstition_n mix_v by_o the_o priest_n in_o those_o day_n but_o what_o man_n may_v do_v in_o some_o case_n they_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o do_v in_o all_o case_n and_o people_n can_v be_v oblige_v to_o suffer_v any_o sinful_a or_o doubtful_a thing_n in_o the_o worship_n they_o join_v in_o unless_o there_o be_v some_o great_a reason_n why_o they_o may_v not_o forsake_v that_o worship_n now_o the_o nonconformist_n affirm_v that_o the_o people_n be_v oblige_v in_o their_o capacity_n to_o endeavour_v reformation_n of_o thing_n amiss_o in_o the_o church_n and_o to_o own_o that_o reformation_n they_o have_v obtain_v and_o to_o withstand_v the_o unjust_a intolerable_a imposition_n of_o the_o last_o uniformity_n as_o much_o as_o the_o minister_n be_v to_o do_v all_o these_o in_o their_o place_n and_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v no_o schism_n for_o the_o minister_n to_o preach_v so_o neither_o be_v it_o any_o for_o the_o people_n to_o hear_v that_o we_o may_v plain_o express_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o nonconformist_n in_o this_o point_n and_o that_o the_o dr_n may_v no_o more_o mistake_v their_o principle_n and_o so_o labour_v in_o vain_a to_o convince_v they_o they_o say_v as_o harnbeck_n advise_v the_o cabornist_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o lutheran_n that_o good_a and_o peaceable_a man_n of_o each_o party_n shall_v love_v each_o other_o and_o hold_v as_o much_o brotherly_a communion_n together_o as_o may_v be_v but_o no_o more_o to_o endeavour_v any_o public_a reconciliation_n or_o union_n which_o the_o head_n and_o leader_n of_o the_o party_n have_v so_o often_o frustrate_v and_o oppose_v till_o god_n will_v give_v they_o a_o more_o moderate_a spirit_n and_o some_o fit_a reason_n may_v incline_v they_o to_o union_n the_o question_n betwixt_o they_o and_o the_o dr_n plain_o be_v 1._o whether_o a_o multitude_n of_o minister_n be_v turn_v out_o of_o the_o church_n to_o her_o great_a and_o apparent_a damage_n without_o so_o much_o as_o allege_v any_o crime_n against_o they_o but_o only_o impose_v new_a thing_n on_o they_o on_o purpose_n to_o ensnare_v they_o whether_o these_o minister_n be_v bind_v to_o lay_v down_o their_o ministry_n and_o live_v private_a and_o not_o rather_o to_o assert_v their_o own_o and_o the_o church_n right_n 2._o whether_o the_o people_n thus_o wrongful_o deprive_v of_o their_o minister_n and_o impose_v upon_o also_o against_o their_o own_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n in_o matter_n of_o divine_a worship_n whether_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o submit_v to_o the_o intruder_n and_o imposer_n and_o not_o rather_o to_o join_v with_o their_o injure_a minister_n in_o assert_v their_o own_o privilege_n the_o dr_n candour_n be_v too_o great_a to_o deny_v that_o the_o reason_n of_o scripture_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o best_a antiquity_n before_o the_o church_n lose_v
