of_o england_n beside_o this_o too_o a_o man_n can_v foresee_v what_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v and_o so_o a_o doctrine_n which_o at_o one_o time_n may_v be_v convenient_a may_v be_v otherwise_o when_o circumstance_n of_o time_n shall_v alter_v as_o suppose_v all_o the_o layman_n of_o england_n have_v subscribe_v only_o the_o 35th_o article_n of_o our_o church_n which_o be_v the_o two_o

the_o high_a power_n and_o authority_n of_o king_n with_o their_o make_n of_o law_n judgement_n and_o office_n be_v the_o ordinance_n not_o of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n that_o all_o person_n owe_v even_o in_o conscience_n obedience_n submission_n and_o subjection_n to_o they_o as_o be_v god_n lieutenant_n god_n precedent_n god_n officer_n god_n commissioner_n god_n judge_n one_a part_n of_o the_o sermon_n of_o obedience_n and_o suppose_v in_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o same_o sermon_n we_o shall_v read_v these_o word_n christ_n teach_v we_o plain_o that_o even_o the_o wicked_a

suppose_v i_o say_v we_o layman_n have_v subscribe_v to_o these_o doctrine_n as_o necessary_a for_o these_o time_n have_v we_o not_o consent_v to_o the_o total_a subversion_n of_o our_o law_n and_o liberty_n to_o the_o slavery_n of_o europe_n and_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o protestant_a interest_n throughout_o the_o world_n howbeit_o since_o general_a council_n for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v a_o assembly_n of_o man_n whereof_o all_o be_v not_o govern_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o word_n of_o god_n may_v err_v and_o sometime_o have_v err_v even_o in_o thing_n pertain_v unto_o god_n as_o be_v declare_v in_o the_o 21_o article_n of_o our_o church_n it_o be_v no_o heresy_n for_o we_o layman_n to_o believe_v that_o convocation_n have_v err_v in_o doctrine_n necessary_a for_o these_o time_n and_o may_v err_v in_o doctrine_n necessary_a for_o any_o time_n and_o from_o hence_o it_o will_v be_v no_o heresy_n to_o conclude_v that_o a_o parliament_n may_v err_v shall_v they_o establish_v the_o convocation-doctrine_n upon_o the_o foot_n of_o sanguinary_a law_n there_o be_v one_o reason_n yet_o remain_v why_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o make_v new_a penal_a law_n even_o against_o blasphemous_a socinian_o which_o be_v because_o there_o be_v law_n already_o in_o force_n against_o blasphemer_n of_o all_o sort_n or_o sect_n whatsoever_o without_o any_o proviso_n that_o

christ_n know_v neither_o the_o father_n nor_o the_o son_n i_o do_v from_o thence_o conclude_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v also_o unknown_a to_o he_o and_o for_o this_o reason_n i_o think_v you_o a_o unfit_a writer_n in_o behalf_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o read_v over_o your_o book_n a_o second_o

complaint_n of_o mr._n g._n against_o the_o bishop_n be_v i_o need_v not_o stand_v to_o prove_v but_o i_o appeal_v to_o the_o reader_n whether_o my_o censure_n be_v not_o just_a if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v a_o rank_n socinian_n or_o worse_o he_o will_v not_o when_o he_o pretend_v to_o write_v against_o the_o socinian_o have_v so_o sly_o and_o desperate_o wound_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o chief_a defender_n of_o the_o orthodox_n faith_n indeed_o it_o look_v a_o little_a odd_o that_o they_o shall_v explain_v one_o and_o the_o same_o article_n contradictory_n way_n both_o of_o which_o can_v

with_o one_o of_o the_o contradictory_n explication_n which_o our_o church_n can_v endure_v for_o i_o trow_v the_o church_n may_v choose_v what_o contradictory_n explication_n she_o will_v endure_v and_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o endure_v all_o that_o may_v be_v offer_v that_o be_v not_o only_o to_o restrain_v she_o from_o impose_v on_o backward_a believer_n but_o subject_v she_o to_o be_v impose_v on_o by_o other_o which_o be_v prodigious_o unreasonable_a but_o mr._n g._n not_o only_o sly_o intimate_v that_o the_o bishop_n do_v not_o act_v their_o part_n against_o heresy_n have_v a_o arminian_n touch_v thereof_o themselves_o but_o that_o they_o actual_o stop_v the_o course_n of_o justice_n which_o he_o can_v never_o prove_v unless_o by_o the_o argument_n of_o his_o own_o
